Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for examining a structure that is labeled, at high spatial resolution, by fluorogenic material of a specimen. SOLUTION: The method for examining the structure that is labeled, at a high spatial resolution, by a fluorogenic material of the specimen and that can repeatedly convert the fluorogenic material, from a first state into a second that are mutually different states regarding at least one optical characteristic includes a step of initially setting a substance to be detected within a specimen region in the first state; and a step of inducing the second state, in a manner of controlling small regions that are spatially divided by an optical signal within the specimen region. A ligand complex (1), containing the fluorogenic material, is bonded to an enzyme (4) through an enzyme reaction inside a cell; and based on the fact that the enzyme (4) is developed as a fusion protein (6), together with a target protein (5), the protein within the living cell i.e. the target protein (5) is defined by being used as a structure labeled by the fluorogenic material.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a microscope of the kind with which interference-free image acquisition is possible and negative impact on the detector is avoided, even in the presence of critical measurement parameters. SOLUTION: The microscope includes at least one illuminating light source, illumination beam path for guiding the illuminating light to a specimen, a detector, and a detection beam path for guiding detected light from the specimen to the detector. In such a microscope, in particular a fluorescence microscope, an activatable element is positioned in the detection beam path (3) for regulating and/or limiting power level in the detection beam path (3).

Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for analyzing biological samples by means of a scanning microscope. According to said method, at least one screen dot is repeatedly and successively illuminated with a manipulating light beam and an exciting light beam. The interval between the time of illumination with the manipulating light beam and the time of illumination with the exciting light beam is modified, and the fluorescent light yield is measured in accordance with said interval.
Abstract:
The research process involves using a target protein (5) in living cells as the structure which is marked with the fluorescent substance (3). A ligand complex (1) including the fluorescent substance is bonded to and enzyme (4) by an enzymatic reaction in the cell. The enzyme is expelled as a fusion protein (6) together with the target protein.
