www.andor.com FRAPPA Photo-Bleach and Activate interact with speed and precision Fluorescence Recovery After Photo-bleach (FRAP) and Photo Activation (PA) are established imaging protocols in which a computer-steered laser beam is used to photo-bleach or photo-activate a user-defined region in the specimen. Andor’s FRAPPA uses a dual galvanometer scan head to provide a computer-steered laser beam delivery system. It can be configured in-line with a CSU and/or camera or on another ports.

Camera Port Adapters Single & Dual Port Microscopes Diverse compatibility Revolution® products are compatible with modern infinity corrected microscopes from Leica, Nikon, Olympus or Zeiss to meet your preferred configuration. Note: For laser safety, a 100% side port switch is required. Microscopes need environmental control to maintain living conditions for mammalian live cell preparations. We recommend temperature and CO2 control incubators from Okolab and Tokai Hit. Thermal and mechanical factors can impact the observation of living specimens when image focus is affected by drift or vibration,...

discover new ways of seeing™ Microscopy Techniques Microscopy Applications Revolution® components and systems benefit from common features across applications. Whether in confocal, photo-bleach/activation or TIRFM imaging this means state of the art performance, flexible component-oriented supply and an open-minded approach to systems and technically demanding solutions. As we continue to provide wide-ranging support for key hardware components, we also try to increase your choice through expanding our software compatibility.

MXDB 0110 Microscopy Techniques Fluorescence Recovery After Photo bleach (FRAP) and Photo Activation (PA) provides a tool for precisely controlled and targeted application of the selected laser beam to initiate photo-effects, which include (FRAP) fluorescence recovery, (FLIP) rate of loss with repeated bleaching, (PA) activation and even ablation (with Q-switched UV laser). Imaging the effects reveals qualitative and quantitative information about the cellular structures of interest and their environment. For example, photo-activated fluorescent proteins are becoming widely used to provide a...
