LumiScope for the detection of bioluminescence from aequorin and other luminescence probes.

The TIRF technique is a special kind of wide-field fluorescence technique for measuring cellsor SMC in an evanescent field without haze. By total reflection of the exciting light (typicallylaser) at the coverslip / medium interface, the fluorescence excitation is limited to a very thin space in the vicinity of the glass surface. The resulting fluorescence images exhibit extremely high contrast and resolution with the possibili…

To eliminate the heat loss from the specimen, Bioptechs developed a patented Objective Heater System®, which includes a heater/sensor and an electronic controller specifically designed for this purpose. The heater/sensor is comprised of an adjustable thin-film heating band which surrounds 3/4 of the diameter of the upper region of the central retracting tube of the objective. A temperature probe positioned in the gap formed be…
