Hi everyone,

 

I was wondering if any of you has any experience with deep UV fluorescence imaging? In particular I would be interested in looking at the fluorescence of tryptophan (excitation around 280 nm, emission above 350 nm). Which modifications would be necessary of a standard fluorescence microscope for imaging in this region?

 

Thanks for any thoughts/suggestions on this.

 

Kevin
