Multiphoton Microscopy Standard Wavelengths
Conoptics manufactures a range of laser accessories designed specifically for Multiphoton Microscopy (MPM), including laser modulation systems, driver electronics, beam deflectors, noise reduction tools, and optical isolators. As a leader in the field, Conoptics has developed specialized solutions that optimize the performance of MPM systems, ensuring precision and reliability for advanced imaging applications.
Multiphoton microscopy (MPM) is a powerful research technique that combines advanced laser scanning microscopy with long-wavelength multiphoton fluorescence excitation. This approach enables MPM to capture high-resolution, three-dimensional images of specimens tagged with highly specific fluorophores.
Conoptics’ Model 350-80LA with the BK (resonance-dampened) option, part of the KD*P Series Electro-Optic modulator, is an ideal solution for multiphoton microscopy (MPM) systems. Paired with the Model 302RM amplifier, it offers precise control over laser intensity and high-speed shuttering. Additionally, this setup manages beam attenuation and fly-back blanking with minimal dispersion, providing full modulation across the laser’s bandwidth. The system operates without spatial dispersion and achieves rise/fall times of 1 microsecond, making it highly effective for MPM applications.
