FLIM Systems for Nikon C1 Scanners
The Nikon C1 scanner uses fibre
coupling both for the laser input and for the output to the detector. FLIM
upgrades are possible connecting a BDL-SMC laser and a FLIM detector to
these fibre connectors. Emission filters are placed directly in front of the
FLIM detector. The essential features are:
Excitation by bh BDL-405-SMC,
BDL-445-SMC, or BDL-473 SMC picosecond diode lasers
Laser coupled to scan head via
single-mode fibre (FC connector)
Fibre coupling of FLIM detectors
Single-detector systems
Dual-detector systems (external
beamsplitter used)

FLIM Systems for Biorad MRC 1024 and
Radiance 2000 Multiphoton Microscopes
Modular FLIM Solutions
for other Laser Scanning Microscopes
Due to their modularity the bh
can easily be attached to home-built scanning systems. The requirements are:
The system uses a picosecond or
femtosecond laser for excitation or
A fibre input for a BDL-SMC
picosecond diode laser is available.
The fluorescence light is
available at a suitable optical port of the system
Scan clock pulses are available
to synchronise the recording with the scanning. For details please see bh
TCSPC Handbook and 'Overview about bh Modular FLIM Systems' (below).
