Emission Fingerprinting
Method available with the LSM 510 META for the recording, analysis and separation of emission signals in multi-fluorescence imaging; working also with widely overlapping emission spectra.

LSM Glossary
Lambda Stack
Image stack with information in x, y and lambda dimensions, combinable with z and / or time series; for determination of spectral signatures at any location of a specimen.

Linear Unmixing
Mathematical method for the spectral deconvolution of multiple emission signals.
( more)
Multitracking
Scanning mode available with the LSM 5, generates multi-fluorescence images without crosstalk of emission signals, by means of fast switching between excitation laser lines, and quasi-simultaneous detection.

RealROI Scan
Scanning mode in which freely definable specimen areas are excited and imaged; guarantees maximum specimen preservation thanks to exact blanking of laser lines outside the selected specimen areas.
( more)
ROI Bleaching
Defined photobleaching of several freely defined specimen areas, e.g. for FRAP or Uncaging experiments.

Spline Scan
Scanning along a freehand-defined line for recording fast (physiological) processes, e.g. along neurons.
Spot Scan
Scanning mode in which the signal intensity at a confocal point can be tracked with extremely high temporal resolution.
Step Scan
Fast overview scan in which intermediate lines are added by interpolation.
Tile Scan
Produces an overview image consisting of a number of tiled partial images using the motorized XY stage; for recording larger objects with improved resolution.
