PALM, TIRF, FRAP – Berkeley, California

FRAP-TIRF-berkeley

System description & applications

The microscope was originally designed as a TIRF system for PALM imaging. A photomanipulation module (FRAP) has been added, this modality is now combined with the TIRF technique in a user-friendly interface.

This system is used for fast single molecule tracking in living samples.
