Techniques

OCTOPUS offers a range of advanced imaging methods. The multiple colour laser systems allow multidimensional measurements of biological samples. Techniques offered are:

• Multidimensional Single Molecule Microscopy
• Multiphoton Confocal Microscopy
• Single Molecule Tracking
• Single Molecule TIRF Microscope
• Single Molecule Polarisation Measurement
• Multicolour Confocal Microscopy
• Bayesian Image Analysis
• Optical Tweezers

Other techniques proposed for the next phase of OCTOPUS include ultra-high resolution optical imaging, and Raman imaging.
