Seeing Red: Using Near-Infrared Solutions to Expand the Possibilities of Confocal Microscopy

Confocal laser scanning microscopes are popular biological research tools. They are commonly used to simultaneously image multiple fluorophores with good color separation, as well as image deep within a biological specimen with enhanced sectioning capabilities. Today, the latest laser tech innovations can benefit applications such as these and enable more advanced experiments. This webinar will focus on how near-infrared (NIR) solutions for the FV3000 microscope can be used to improve the outcomes of fluorescence multiplexing and deep-tissue imaging experiments.
