High Power Flash Lamp from Cairn Research Limited Combined with the ULTRASTABLE PhotoFluor II Fluorescence Illumination System

Applications

Uncaging Studies

• Neurotransmitter studies via caged carbamylcholine carbachol, y-aminobutyric acid and L-glutamic acid
• Manipulation of intracellular calcium levels via caged Ca2+ chelators
• RNA interference studies via caged siRNAs
• Study of signal transduction pathways with caged nucleotides
• Study of second messenger signaling cascades with caged inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate and/or caged cADP-ribose

Photoactivation/Photoconversion of Fluorescent Proteins

• PA-GFP
• Dronpa
• tdEOS

Features

• Variable charge capacitance of the flash lamp allows for fine control of the flash/photoactivation light intensity
• Simultaneous flash and fluorescence illumination via dual illumination port adapter
• Ultra stable output of the PhotoFluor II enables quantitative imaging of the dimmest samples
• Optically isolated input and output flash triggers enable tight integration with your experimental protocols
• Ability to couple to all major brands of microscopes
