IMAGING BEYOND BARRIERS!

The recent and most fruitful collaboration between Abberior Instruments and SVI has brought about cutting-edge superresolution at maximum convenience and benefit for our STEDYCON users.

As exemplified in the panels below, the combination of top-notch STED imaging with a sophisticated deconvolution method reveals the faintest details in the sample. Moreover, all this unfolds at the push of a button!

Confocal vs. DyMIN STED imaging:

Confocal and easy3D DyMIN STED imaging of dendrites in brain slices. GFP-tagged proteins were expressed and immunolabelled using primary antibodies against GFP and secondary antibodies coupled to Abberior STAR 635P. Sample was prepared by O. Kaplan and H. Kawabe @ MPI of Experimental Medicine, Göttingen, Germany. Scale Bar, 2 µm.

DyMIN STED complements our existing list of intelligent STED illumination schemes, namely RESCue STED and MINFIELD STED. All three intelligent illumination schemes for STED dramatically reduce the light irradiation on your sample (DyMIN STED up to two orders of magnitude) and are exclusively available @ Abberior Instruments.
