TauSense: add an extra dimension to your confocal results with integrated fluorescence lifetime information

12 Sept 2021

Leica Microsystems’ TauSense technology is a set of imaging tools based on fluorescence lifetime. Found at the core of the STELLARIS confocal platform, it will revolutionize your imaging experiments. Whatever your sample or staining procedure, fluorescence lifetime information is always there. Now TauSense gives you access to this additional information and expands the potential of your research with the possibilities provided by different TauSense modes.

In this application note, find out how you can use TauSense technology to:

  • Explore a new dimension of information in every confocal experiment with instant access to functional information.
  • Improve image quality by removing unwanted fluorescence signals that mask your data and prevent you from truly seeing your sample.
  • Separate fluorescent species based on lifetime information, allowing you to distinguish fluorescent signals with similar spectra.

STELLARIS STED Microscopes

Leica Microsystems Europe

Our STED (stimulated emission depletion)  technology joins the STELLARIS platform to provide you the fastest way of imaging beyond the diffraction limit. Obtain cutting-edge nanoscopy results in no time with astounding image quality and resolution, while protecting your sample. STED super-resolution allows you to study multiple dynamic events simultaneously, so you can investigate molecular relationships and mechanisms within the cellular context.
