单分子检测水平的定量细胞生物学检测仪器。

受激发射损耗（STED）是一种强大的显微技术，可以观察到空间分辨率低于衍射极限的荧光结构。Alba-STED使用脉冲激发和脉冲耗尽方法（pSTED）结合数字频域荧光寿命成像（FastFLIM）来记录时间分辨光子，从而提高图像分辨率并分离具有相同激发波长的两个荧光标记物。

关键特色 ： 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.
