The UltraView system is a spinning disc confocal, providing
optical sectioning while still permitting rapid imaging, on the
order of 20 frames/s. It has 6 laser lines, 405, 488, 514, 532,
568 and 633. This allows a very wide range of fluorescent probes
to be used on the system. The instrument is also fitted with a
photo-bleach/activation unit, which can be used to provide either

This is a commercial lightsheet microscope designed primarily for
time-lapse imaging of thick specimens that a scanning confocal
microscope would struggle with. Imaging of thick, fixed samples is
also possible. Specimens are illuminated with one or two thin light
sheets from opposite sides perpendicular to the detection objective.
This vastly reduces light exposure and therefore bleaching of the
sample and enables penetration depths of up to 100 µm. It is possible
to image in single or multiview mode, the latter through rotating
the sample and imaging stacks at six to eight different angles,
which can then be recombined into a 360° view. Specimens are
embedded in 1% low-melting agarose or similar inside glass
capillaries and then extruded and imaged in buffer.

single spots or arbitrary shapes via line or raster scans. This
instrument is particularly useful for doing live cell imaging as
the high imaging speed and low background provide crisp images of
even fast moving objects in live cells.

This microscope was custom-built by the Kapanidis lab in Physics. It
can be used for PALM and dSTORM experiments under TIRF or near-TIRF
conditions up to 1 µm into the cell. Both methods are used to
localise single molecules beyond the diffraction limit. TIRF and
near-TIRF localisation is limited to 2D with no z-information.
Localisation accuracy depends on a high number of detected photons
and on only a fraction of molecules being in a fluorescent state at
any one time. The latter is achieved in PALM by the activation of
only a few fluorophores at the same time, which then bleach
irreversibly, and in dSTORM by reversible switching between a
fluorescent on-state and a dark off-state. PALM uses photoactivatable
fluorescent proteins and dSTORM images fluorescent organic dyes.
