Abberior STED Microscope

Our Abberior STED microscope is based on the INFINITY platform, which is built around an Olympus IX83 microscope. The system is equipped with four pulsed lasers as well as a CW 405nm laser.

Moreover, the STED module has two STED depletion lasers. The detection units are based on avalanche photodiodes (APDs) and we have the MATRIX detector upgrade, which consists on a hexagonal arrangement of avalanche photodiodes (APDs) enabling a higher signal-to-background.
