These probes emit a known wavelength of light when excited with a different known (typically lower) wavelength of light. The colors in the resulting image help identify specific properties or areas of interest within the sample.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fluorescence microscopy is a powerful tool for studying the structure and function of cells and tissues. It is used in a wide variety of applications, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cell biology:<\/strong> to study the structure and function of cells, including the distribution of proteins, nucleic acids, and other molecules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Molecular biology<\/strong>: to examine the interactions between molecules, such as the binding of proteins to DNA or the interaction of enzymes with their substrates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Immunology<\/strong>: to research the immune system, including the distribution of cells such as lymphocytes and macrophages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Neuroscience: <\/strong>to see the structure of neurons and the connections between neurons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pathology<\/strong>: to diagnose diseases, such as cancer and infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Researchers using fluorescence microscopy techniques encounter several obstacles in the process of acquiring good fluorescent images:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n\t<li>Weak fluorescence signal due to inadequate illumination<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Multiple wavelength studies exposing samples to excessive UV light<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Weak or no signal due to improper sample preparation<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Photobleaching of samples that have been imaged repeatedly<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Essential equipment for fluorescent imaging<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prior.com\/us\/automated-imaging-systems\/\" target=\"_blank\">Prior Scientific&rsquo;s OpenStand<\/a> is a fully motorized optical stand that provides the perfect platform for fluorescent imaging with multiple epi-fluorescence options that feature:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n\t<li>High-intensity metal halide or LED illumination for strong excitation from ultra-violet to infra-red<\/li>\r\n\t<li>6 or 8-position high-speed cube turrets to minimize photobleaching while imaging multiple wavelengths<\/li>\r\n\t<li>350 ms switching time between filter cubes<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The OpenStand also minimizes imaging time with fast and precise ProScan XY stages, fast internal motorized Z focus, multiple motorized objective nosepiece options of up to 6 objectives and real-time Laser Autofocus control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For researchers with existing microscopes Prior is able to provide most of the same motorization to increase the efficiency of any manual fluorescence imaging system, including add-ons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n\t<li>ProScan and OptiScan stages<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Filter Wheels for excitation and emission<\/li>\r\n\t<li>High-Speed Shutters<\/li>\r\n\t<li>LED and Metal halide illumination options<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a
