Stimulated Emission Depletion Microscopy Market Size, Share and Consumption Analysis Report 2021 by Million Insights

The factors that propel the growth of the global StimulatedEmission Depletion Microscopy market include increasing research and development activities. In addition, high-tech innovations such as super resolution microscopy, high-throughput techniques, and digitization of microscopes are also fueling the growth of the market. Moreover, government funding also plays a significant role to uplift the market growth.


Stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy is a fluorescence microscopy technique that overcomes the diffraction-limited resolution of confocal microscopes. The resolution enhancement depends on switching off the fluorescence of dye molecules by stimulated emission by means of intense laser light in the outer regions of the diffraction limited excitation focus. This intense radiation causes almost all of the excited molecules to return to the ground state.


Fluorescence from the remaining excited dye molecules in the center of the excitation focus is then detected and used to form the high Resolution images. An even further resolution enhancement is possible by applying time gates to the collected data. Stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy uses two laser pulses to localize fluorescence at each focal spot. The first pulse is used to excite a fluorophore to its fluorescent state and the second pulse is a modified beam used to de-excite any fluorophores surrounding the excitation spot. One of the significant advantage of this technique is the larger depth of field that can be imaged with high resolution.  
The components of stimulated emission depletion microscopy consist of pulsed laser source for excitation and depletion, objective, single photon sensitive detector, dichroic mirror (to overlay excitation and depletion lasers and to separate fluorescence signal from excitation light), phase plate for transforming the STED pulse into a doughnut shape, data acquisition unit and suited scanning system.
On the other hand, there are also factors that hamper the growth of the market such as high price of advanced microscopes and lack of technical expertise.
