Single Molecule and Fluorescence Correlation Microscope setups
For the studies of single molecule and ensemble rotation and translation of fluorescent molecules in glassforming materials
Temperature-controlled closed chambers - Winter chamber
Liquid nitrogen-cooled UHV cryostat (Janis ST-400) incorporated in the chamber provides access the cryogenic temperatures. Dedicated to the system that has the glass transition temperature below the room temperature.
Temperature-controlled closed chambers - Summer chamber
Temperature is controlled by a cartridge heater without active cooling. Dedicated to the system that has the glass transition temperature above the room temperature to 600 K.

Standard compact chambers - Resistive heater chamber
Standard compact chambers - TEC chamber
Temperature is controlled by a TEC. Dedicated to the system that has the glass transition temperature from 260 K to 400 K.

Excitation
Can select different laser lines for excitation (405 nm, 473 nm, 488 nm, and 532 nm). Home-built multimode fiber shaker provides a randomly polarized and homogenous illuminated field of view.
Detection - Variable magnification
Variable magnification while maintaining the highest possible fluorescence collection efficiency.
