Fluorescence correlation spectrometer (FCS)
FluoTime 200
PicoQuant
The FluoTime 200 spectrometer is a high performance fluorescence lifetime system featuring modular construction, single-photon timing sensitivity and research flexibility. It contains the complete optics and electronics for recording fluorescence decays by means of Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC). The system is designed for use with a femtosecond or picosecond laser system e.g. the picosecond diode lasers from PicoQuant. With the FluoTime 200 decay times down to some picoseconds can be resolved. The system allows operation at more than 80 MHz repetition rate and count rates up to several million counts/second.
The FluoTime 200 system is designed for optimum timing performance. The optical system features a high sensitivity using high N.A. quartz collecting optics and vertical dispersion to maximise the overlap of the excitation laser beam and the detection volume within the sample. For spectral filtering of the emission light the researcher can choose between a direct drive monochromator, a single monochromator or a subtractive double monochromator for zero temporal dispersion.
