Olympus FVMPE-RS
Multiphoton microscope system (Olympus Fluoview FVMPE-RS Twin-Laser Gantry System)
- The Olympus Fluoview FVMPE-RS is an upright multiphoton microscope tailored for deep-tissue imaging with penetration depth up to 1-1.5mm depending on the sample type.
- The system is equipped with two two-photon lasers for multi-color imaging
- Spectra-Physics InsightX3 Laser (wavelength: 690nm-1300nm)
- Spectra-Physics MaiTai HP DeepSee Ti:Sapphire Laser (wavelength: 690nm-1030nm)
- The system has both galvo and resonant scanners for high spatial and temporal resolution imaging.
- Two objectives are currently available for use on this system
- Microscope objective Olympus 25x, NA 1.05, for high resolution imaging
- Microscope objective Olympus 4x, NA 0.13, for low magnification navigation
