Leica – Stellaris 8 Falcon Flim Microscope
Stellaris 8 Falcon (FAst Lifetime CONtrast) is the future of functional imaging. Harness the power of fluorescence lifetime to investigate cellular physiology and explore dynamics in living cells.
Stellaris 8 Falcon is a fully integrated solution for Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM) and enables video-rate lifetime imaging acquisition for rapid kinetic studies in live cells.
Stellaris 8 Falcon adds a new dimension of contrast to your imaging, opening the door to biosensing and tracking of interactions between proteins. FLIM information is now available for all modalities of the Stellaris 8 system.
Now you can:
- Follow fast molecular interactions via FLIM-FRET (Förster Resonance Energy Transfer)
- Use biosensors to detect changes in metabolic state and micro environment
- Apply lifetime contrast to separate multiple fluorophores
- Acquire FLIM data with minimal training
