Deep Tissue Observation with Silicone Oil Immersion Objectives in the NIR

• NIR fluorescence works well for deep imaging because NIR light scatters less in live tissue
• The refractive index of silicone oil (ne≈1.40) is close to that of living tissue (ne≈1.38), enabling high-resolution observations deep inside living tissue with minimal spherical aberration
• The UPLSAPO30XIR (NA 1.05, WD 800 μm) offers higher NIR transmittance thanks to Olympus’ 1600 Coating
   

Multiplexing with X Line High-Performance Objectives

• Greater multiplexing imaging is possible using additional NIR detection channels
• Reduced chromatic aberration during co-localization analysis (corrected at 400 nm–1000 nm)
• Higher numerical aperture, excellent image flatness, and high transmittance from UV to NIR

On-Demand Webinar

This webinar will focus on fluorescence multiplexing and deep tissue imaging using near infrared (NIR) laser light. NIR laser sources can help in visualizing biological structures more clearly and at higher resolution deep within the specimen. NIR excitation can also enable the use of more fluorescent dyes without spectral overlap. Watch this webinar
