Products

Three instruments, one photon-counting core

Pick by what you need to measure: where the photon landed, when it arrived, or how many of them there were.

FLIM Evaluation Kit

From photons to a lifetime image in one window

Preview ships with every LINCam. Gate the decay, pick an estimator, read τ at any pixel, and hand calibrated data straight to Fiji or MATLAB. No scripting required to see your result.

  • Lifetime Estimator — choose between mean and median estimation
  • Decay Selector — gate the utilized photons and remove reflexes
  • Pipette — know the lifetime at any given position of the image
  • Timeline — select your image frames independently from a scanner

Measurement induced entanglement of stored ions

Stored ions are typical examples for single photon sources that show an antibunched emission statistics. However if two stored ions are brought in an entangled state by simply measuring, interesting phenomena occur.

MIET (Metal induced energy transfer)

Metal induced energy transfer (MIET) is a nanoscopy technique to measure distances from fluorescent molecules to a metal film. Here we present MIET acquisition using wide-field and TIRF fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) equipped with LINCam.

About

About Photonscore

In more than 10 years of work, the LINCam was developed at the imaging core facility of the Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology in Magdeburg. In 2017, the original developers Dr.-Ing. Werner Zuschratter, Dr.-Ing. Yury Prokazov and Evgeny Turbin founded the spin-off company Photonscore to further develop this novel quantum light sensor and make it commercially available to labs, institutes and companies.
