TILL Photonics exhibits new high-end microscope solutions at the Neuroscience 2010

10th November 2010 – TILL Photonics uses Neuroscience 2010 to officially release Andromeda iMIC, a revolutionary spinning disk confocal unit on the most versatile microscope platform. This complete system solution is dedicated to the 3-D observation of dynamic processes in living cells with the confocality of a LSM. Extraordinary illumination efficiency combined with perfect synchronization ensures minimal photo-toxicity. The modularity of the iMIC platform allows combination with methods such as TIRF, scanning FRAP and photoactivation in one experiment.

The Two-Photon iMIC is a complete system on a flexible and extendable platform to fully exploit the advantages of twophoton microscopy, such as deep tissue imaging and superb 3D resolution, while largely elimination photo-damage. The small footprint of the iMIC and the silent, compact fiber laser give the entire system an extraordinarily small size: no need to reserve an entire room for just one system.

more™ is a compact multi-purpose microscope solution based on vibration-eliminating quiet frame technology with the entire system being thermally isolated for unprecedented thermal and focal stability.

Being explicitly designed for advanced live cell experiments, more™ combines methods such as scanning FRAP, FRET, TIRF, structured illumination, epi-fluorescence and transmission illumination—all in multi-color and fast 3-D.

More details about these products – which are all on display – and other microscopy solutions from TILL Photonics will be available at the Neuroscience Exhibition 2010, booth 3117.

TILL was founded in 1993 as systems provider for fluorescence microscopy. From its very beginning TILL had placed its focus on the development of innovative, enabling technologies for the study of live cells. Setting out with a novel light source for ratio imaging and the first real-time imaging system on the market, TILL developed a novel, award-winning microscope platform concept, which allows integrating an unprecedented number of functionalities into a single instrument. Based on this technology TILL has subsequently become a provider for complete microscope systems, and the new TILL intends to step into these footsteps and plans to extend the platform concept in order to grow into a wide range of markets, both in basic research, screening and medical diagnostics.
