PicoQuant have introduced the FluoMic accessory that enables the FluoTime 300 time-resolved fluorescence spectrometer to be used with remote samples without requiring any lengthy alignment or coupling procedures. The FluoMic’s pre-aligned fibres allow the shining of excitation light from both pulsed and steady-state sources of the spectrometer to a microscope such as the Olympus BX43 with a special microscope coupler unit. Emission is collected from a small sample area (down to 2 µm spatial resolution) and guided via a fibre to the detection arm of the FluoTime 300.
