    Laboratorie- og analyseutstyr

    Technologies for the manipulation and sensing of individual molecules has been developed in recent years, which allow for the quantification of conformational transitions, forces, and energies. This manipulation ability can now be combined with single-molecule fluorescence detection, which enables direct detection of bound molecular species. The aim of the investment is to meet the demands for these state-of-the-art single-molecule studies, at the highest force resolution and stability in time, light sensitivity, and novel microfluidic flow capabilities. For this purpose, a new optical tweezers instrument will be purchased, which will be installed in the laboratory at AMOLF. 1 ultra-stable Optical Tweezers Microscope

      Laboratorie-, optisk- og presisjonsutstyr

      Purchase of 5 Fluorescence Microscopes

      Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU) needs to purchase 5 fluorescence microscopes with a maximum total value of 1,400,000 DKK. The equipment should consist of four inverted microscopes with X/Y test tables, capable of visualizing samples using reflected light in fluorescence and bright field. The fluorescence detection system must be able to observe and separate DAPI, FITC, and TRITC fluorophores. The microscopes must be equipped with lenses for optical measurements from 4x to 100x magnification, using cover glass. Three microscopes need to image at 4x and 20x, one at 10x and phase contrast at 20x, and one at 10x and 60x or higher. All microscopes should include a 1.5x optivar lens and allow for mounting a C-mount camera with a 25mm FOV. One microscope must have a motorized X-Y table compatible with Micromanager software.
