白激光
在生物医学应用中,共聚焦显微镜的完美光源它应该有足够的强度,可调谐的波长,以便同时激发一系列样品。此外,它应该成为荧光寿命实验的脉冲光源。这样的光源已经出现:白激光。它采用高能脉冲红外光纤激光器经过光子晶体光纤以产生连续光谱。通过声光调制滤片从该连续光谱中选择窄带激光。

Controlling the TIRF Penetration Depth is Mandatory for Reproducible Results
The main feature of total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy is the employment of an evanescent wave for the excitation of fluorophores instead of using direct light. A property of the…
