Background-free MATRIX STED image of actin in microvilli of Caco2 cells

MATRIX Detector

Many eyes see more than one. The MATRIX detector drastically improves signal-to-background ratio, resolution, and dynamic range.

Custom Solutions

We offer solutions for even the most challenging applications. Everything that can be done, we will do.

Transmitted

light detection

Transmitted light is imaged without time loss, simultaneously to your confocal and STED recordings. Compatible with all lasers, including your pulsed 595nm as well the 775nm pulsed STED.

Objective

lenses

An important, yet often overlooked component that can make or break good imaging. At abberior, we take test images with all third-party objective lenses before we install them in your microscope and only the best objective lenses are handpicked for our STED and MINFLUX systems.

And since our EASY3D unit is compatible with all types of high-NA objectives, we offer the widest range of lenses for STED of all manufacturers. Oil immersion, water, silicon or glycerol, dipping lenses, and even air immersion – let your sample dictate the objective lens, not your microscope.

Incubation

chambers

Indispensable for environmental control during live-cell imaging, we offer stage-top incubation chambers as well as cage incubators. All major vendors are compatible with our microscopes.

While we’re talking about live-cell imaging, did we mention that our autofocus works without interruptions even in STED mode?

RESOLFT

superresolution

The RESOLFT device offered by abberior is a superresolution point scanning system for switchable GFPs. It features the lowest principal light dosages of all superresolution methods and is greatly suited for live-cell imaging.

Why do we usually recommend APDs in our microscopes and why aren’t we worried about the supposedly lower dynamic range?

Having too many photons is never a problem. Therefore, detectors with the highest quantum efficiency are always the best choice, such as in a MATRIX array.
