  • Patent number: 9348128
    Abstract: A microscope for high spatial resolution imaging a structure of interest in a sample comprising a substance having a first state with first spectral properties and a second state with second spectral properties, the microscope comprising: an objective-lens assembly, a wave front modulating optical device adapted to spatially vary an intensity of a transfer light beam, a probe detector arranged to detect an optical measurement signal from a portion of the substance in the second state and placed in an area of the transfer light beam with an intensity adapted not to transfer the substance between the first and second states said microscope comprising a phase contrast microscopy system which includes an intensity detector arranged to detect an intensity of an illuminating light beam after said illuminating light beam has passed through the sample, the objective-lens assembly and the wave front modulating optical device.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8580579
    Abstract: The invention relates to novel and improved photostable rhodamine dyes of the general structural formulae I or II and their uses as fluorescent markers, e.g. for immunostainings and spectroscopic and microscopic applications, in particular in conventional and stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy.

  • Publication number: 20120100559
    Abstract: The invention relates to novel and improved photostable rhodamine dyes of the general structural formulae I or II and their uses as fluorescent markers, e.g. for immunostainings and spectroscopic and microscopic applications, in particular in conventional and stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. The partially deuterated analogues are useful as molecular mass distribution tags in mass spectroscopic applications.
