The iLas 2 platform is a unique multi-application device that offers complete control over any laser illumination.
Coupled to a wide-field or spinning disk confocal microscope, its evolutive design allows researchers to choose and simultaneously combine:
Azimuthal TIRF imaging
3D TIRF – θscan
Single molecule imaging
Oblique illumination imaging
FRAP Photo-activation
The iLas 2 system can be declined in three versions:
iLas 2 FRAP (upright or inverted)
iLas 2 TIRF
iLas 2 TIRF/FRAP
Key features
