SIMULTANEOUS MULTI-COLOR TIRF

The Olympus cellTIRF system provides true simultaneous acquisition of up to four wavelengths. Individual motorized angle control for each laser provides equal evanescent (±1 nm), which enables you to produce high-contrast images with minimal background noise for cell surface and single molecule studies. The cellTIRF 4Line system has integrated point FRAP optics for the first laser line.

IMAGING STABILITY

The frame architecture and focus drive design of the IX83 system offer enhanced rigidity that reduces the impact of vibration and temperature. It maintains desired positions along the X, Y, and Z axes to facilitate reliable time-lapse and multipoint imaging. When combined with the Olympus ultrasonic stage (IX3-SSU) and Z-drift compensator (IX3-ZDC2), the IX83 microscope can capture high-precision, multipoint time-lapse images that are aligned and in focus.

TIRF OBJECTIVES

TIRF is facilitated by a broad lineup of objectives featuring a high signal-to-noise ratio and a correction collar to adjust for cover glass thickness and temperature. Take advantage of Olympus' remarkable TIRF objective with the world's highest NA of 1.7*.

PRECISE AND INTUITIVE PHOTOMANIPULATION (OPTIONAL PERIPHERALS)

Olympus’ cellFRAP photomanipulation device and real-time controller (U-RTCE) enable accurate control (200 µs dead time), diffraction-limited stimulation with a flexible region of interest, and precise reproduction of experimental conditions.

ADVANCED ANALYSIS

Advanced functionality, such as object tracking and colocalization, are available with optional cellSens software solutions.

FAST, MICROSECOND-ACCURATE DEVICES

The fast filter wheel, shutter, LED light source control, and real-time controllers (U-RTC) enable less photobleaching and phototoxicity, therefore resulting in healthier cells and more robust data.
