ALBA STED
Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) is a powerful super resolution microscopy technique that allows for the observation of fluorescence structures with spatial resolution below the diffraction limit.
The Alba STED uses the pulsed excitation and pulsed emission approach (pSTED) to achieve lateral esolution of 60 – 100 nm.
