Olympus Offers cell^TIRF™ Microscope Illuminator
Olympus has announced another significant leap forward in multicolor TIRF imaging. The Olympus cell^TIRF™ illuminator. The new system has four individually controlled motorized laser inputs for TIRF imaging. With the cell^TIRF system, each laser wavelength is optimally focused, and each angle is individually set, allowing different wavelengths to have the same penetration depth. Combined, these features make cell^TIRF the only such system that can simultaneously capture multiple channels with independently adjusted TIRF angles.
