Single Molecule Localisation Microscope

Abberior SAFe360 SMLM Microscope

The single molecule light microscopy (SMLM) is a super-resolution microscope technique. Enabling super-resolution techniques such as PALM and STORM as well as single molecule techniques such as TIRF microscopy. Resolution can be achieved down to 20nm.
