The fluorescence lifetime of the fluorophores can be measured in biological systems in two or three dimensions with the FLIM. The system is suitable for the investigation of thick sample due to the application of multi photon excitation. By determining the distribution of fluorescence lifetimes in the samples it provides more information than the conventional intensity based fluorescence microscopy. The laser used for excitation can be adjusted between 280nm and 1200nm. According to our best knowledge this instrument is unique in the region and also in Hungary, and could be a powerful tool in biological investigations. Apart from the FLIM system we also operate an Olympus IX fluorescence microscope with microinjection system, which can serve as source of complementary information.
