Fluorescence Microscopes from Nikon Instruments Inc.
Fluorescence microscopes from Nikon Instruments Inc. utilize fluorescence and phosphorescence as fundamental methods for visualizing specimens. In this optical technique, samples are illuminated with light of a specific wavelength that can excite fluorescent particles in the sample. This allows specific components within the sample to be observed at a designated wavelength.
Fluorescence microscopes are used for localizing specific proteins, determining the shape of organs, cells, and intracellular structures, studying protein interactions or conformations, analyzing ion concentrations, and observing live cells. Typical components of a fluorescence microscope include a light source, excitation filters, the dichroic mirror (or dichroic beam splitter), and emission filters. Look for ease of use, ergonomic features, multiple operating modes, high resolution, and upgrade possibilities.
