SelectScience Attends Olympus Advanced Research Technology Day

The new Olympus FluoView FVMPE-RS, a dedicated multiphoton microscope system, enables high-precision, ultra-fast scanning and stimulation, allowing researchers to see deep within specimens, take measurements at the highest speeds, and capture images, even when working under the most demanding conditions.

Kerry Parker, Editor-in-Chief of SelectScience, attended a unique Advanced Research Technology Day this week at the Institute for Neuroscience, Technical University Munich, to learn more about the applications of this exciting technology. Researchers at the Misgeld Lab presented current research in axon changes of healthy and sick nervous systems of living animals, using high-end imaging technology: in vivo two-photon and confocal imaging in mice and zebra fish.

With its high speed and precision performance, the FVMPE-RS is designed for electrophysiology and optogenetics studies. It is also a good match for applications such as high-speed calcium and in vivo imaging, and any field that requires precise colocalisation, uncaging, simultaneous imaging/stimulation, extensive realtime signal processing, or multipoint mapping. Its design also offers ready adaptability for researchers that design their own custom-built systems.

The system is part of the full line of Olympus advanced imaging microscope systems, including the FV1200 and FV1200MPE family of microscope systems.
