Launch of the New InverTau™, a Platform for Confocal FLIM

HORIBA introduces InverTau™, an innovative platform for confocal fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) that enhances conventional inverted microscopes with high-speed laser scanning and comprehensive FLIM capabilities. InverTau integrates pulsed diode lasers, single photon counting detectors, TCSPC electronics, and a user-friendly touchscreen UI software.

Key Features:

• Seamless Integration: Compatible with any inverted fluorescence microscope.
• Comprehensive System: Includes InverTau platform, Nikon® Ti2-U manual inverted microscope, FiPho TCSPC electronics, EzTime Image software, HPPD-720 detector, and DeltaDiode lasers (375-595 nm).
• Real-Time FLIM: Optional FLIMera camera for widefield video rate FLIM, achieving real-time FLIM dynamics at up to 30fps.
• Customizable: Tailored setups or complete systems available.

Benefits:

• Enhanced Research: Ideal for life sciences, providing detailed molecular interaction data beyond traditional fluorescence intensity imaging.
• User-Friendly: Fully software-controlled with intuitive EzTime Image software for real-time data acquisition and analysis.
• Advanced Imaging: Delivers high-quality confocal FLIM images, phasor plots, and lifetime kinetics.

HORIBA's InverTau™ is a significant addition to their life science instrument portfolio, promising new discoveries in cell biology and human health research.
