Abberior STED
The Abberior STED/RESOLFT is a sophisticated, highly flexible open platform that can be modified, extended and upgraded at any given time. In its current configuration the system is equipped with three pulsed excitation lasers: 488nm, 561nm, 640nm and two STED lasers for depletion: 580nm (continuous), 775nm (pulsed).
Typical resolution in X and Y axis is ~40nm and 150nm in Z axis using the Easy3D STED module. This module uses a programmable spatial light modulator (SLM) to create phase patterns required for 2D and 3D STED microscopy.
With Easy3D and adaptive optics enables deep imaging with penetration up to 75 µm into cleared tissue using an 100x oil objective.
Another key module currently available in our STED system is the super resolution live imaging mode using RESCue (Reduction of state Transition Cycles) STED. RESCue reduces the light dose to the samples without compromising resolution.
