FRET

Bright, simultaneous two-wavelength imaging using the primary image.

FRET Split imaging system

• Simultaneous two-color split imaging with one CCD camera.

• Unique design splits the primary image for the highest efficiency

and light transmission necessary for weak fluorescence signals

such as CFP/YFP FRET experiments.

•Compact and space-saving design takes advantage of the 70 mm

of free space between the microscope frame and the primary

image plane found on all Olympus Research Upright and Inverted

Microscopes.

• Simple cassette mechanism makes it easy to switch between

split and full frame imaging.

• Unit is up to 10% brighter than similar relay lens based, image

splitting systems.

• When used with the rectangular field stop U-RFSS, excitation

energy is limited to the camera's field of view, minimizing specimen

photo-bleaching.

Photoactivation

Photoactivation illuminator for inverted microscopy.

Photoactivation Fluorescence

Microscope system

The photoactivation illuminator allows the exposure by UV light to

specific regions of a cell for photoconversion, the uncaging of

compounds and the photoactivation of specific fluorochromes.

• A specified area of the cell can be exposed to UV light while

observing the targeted cell by fluorescence or transmitted (DIC)

method.

• Compliance with FRAP or FLIP

experiments (by special order).

• Easy system upgrade by

attaching double lamphouse

illuminator IX2-RFAW to IX2

series inverted microscope.

The novel Kaede gene is useful in biology because it exhibits photoconversion. Normally, the Kaede

gene shows green fluorescence but after exposure to UV light will exhibit red fluorescence. By using

UV light to only a specific region within a labeled cell and then noting the movement of red beyond

that region, observations of internal cellular dynamics can easily be made. The photo on the left

shows a nerve cell (from a rat hippocampus) pre-labeled with green Kaede gene.

The photo on the right side was taken after the right-most cell body was exposed to a 10 µm

diameter spot of UV light for 60 seconds, thus changing the Kaede gene from green to red. Note the

translocation of the red shifted gene outside of the 10 µm spot thus indicating intracellular transport

mechanisms.
