Bringing Confocal Imaging to Life with Fluorescence Lifetime Information

A revolutionary set of imaging tools helps researchers maximize the insights obtained from every fluorescence experiment.

Scientists can add an extra dimension to their confocal microscopy experiments by measuring photon arrival times using fluorescence lifetime imaging methods. From improving confocal image quality to exploring new scientific applications that are difficult or impossible with traditional confocal approaches, lifetime-based information gives researchers access to functional imaging.

Download this application note from Leica Microsystems to learn how TauSense lifetime imaging tools enable researchers to

  • Explore how the cellular microenvironment influences fluorophores and their use as biosensors
  • Multiplex beyond the technical limitations of conventional fluorescence spectra dyes
  • Improve confocal image quality by removing unwanted signal
