TECHNO / PRODUCTS
Single-molecule localisation microscopy (SMLM) combines quantitative information with the highest resolution possible in optical microscopy.
It is therefore a game changer in many biological studies, but it requires new and diverse expertise ranging from sample preparation to image acquisition and data analysis to enable effective adaptation to SMLM.
PRODUCT PORTFOLIO
APPLICATIONS
Abbelight technology can produce images with a horizontal resolution of around 10 nanometres, meaning it can distinguish details twenty times finer than those visible using conventional fluorescence microscopy.
Such performance is of interest to all kinds of research laboratories working on living organisms – 400 in France and 10,000 to 20,000 worldwide. It enables the exploration of tiny intracellular structures that have not yet revealed all their secrets, such as the cytoskeleton and synapses.
BENEFITS
The advantages of Abbelight:
– easy-to-use technology,
– the best performance in the world,
– comprehensive support throughout the research process,
– unique expertise and a global scientific network.
