Extract

"Baseline Ca2+ activity was recorded for the first 60 s (~1380 frames), then the capillary bed was picospritzed with AITC (30 µM) or ATP (10 µM), and the preparations were recorded for an additional 60 s (~1380 frames). Videos were obtained using a custom-built upright microscope (Olympus BX51 WI) equipped with epifluorescence illumination (CoolLED pE-300white, CoolLED Ltd., UK), a 20x water-immersion objective (numerical aperture 0.5, Olympus), and an ORCA-Fusion Digital CMOS C14440-20UP camera.

Environment

Did you know that LED illumination systems help laboratories reduce their carbon footprint, protecting laboratory staff along the way?

Toxic mercury-based microscope illuminators are bad news for the environment, draw a lot of power and have a short lifetime.

LED illumination systems are cleaner, have a long lifetime and use less power. Our pE-300 Series is also ACT label certified and is a natural choice for labs who want to play their part in helping the environment.
