單分子檢測水平的定量細胞生物學檢測儀器。

受激發射損耗（STED）是一種強大的顯微技術，可以觀察到空間分辨率低于衍射極限的熒光結構。Alba-STED使用脈沖激發和脈沖耗盡方法（pSTED）結合數字頻域熒光壽命成像（FastFLIM）來記錄時間分辨光子，從而提高圖像分辨率并分離具有相同激發波長的兩個熒光標記物。

關鍵特色 ： Alba-STED for FLIM/FFS:

• pSTED (Pulsed excitation and pulsed STED)

• FastFLIM for time-resolved pSTED acquisition

• Improved image resolution using the phasor plot

• Dual-label excitation

• Fast image acquisition (dwell time: 0.2 μs)

• High dynamic range (signal up to 60 million counts/s)

Dual labels can be separated using pSTED and FastFLIM. Atto 647N and Atto 655 were used as labels; they both are excited by the 640 nm laser. The two dyes are first separated using the phasor plots， and then assigned with two different false colors (Atto 647N - yellow， Atto 655 - purple) to produce the processed and merged pSTED image of the two labels.
