SOPRANO-13/17
Femtosecond Laser for Multiphoton Microscopy
This femtosecond laser by Cycle is the ideal light source for life sciences imaging. With two center wavelengths at 1350 nm / 1700 nm and pulse durations below 100 fs, it is particularly suitable for applications in multiphoton microscopy (MPM). Using only a single laser, researchers can perform deep-tissue 3-photon excitation fluorescence (3PEF) imaging of green/red fluorescent protein (GFP/RFP) within the biological transmission windows. In addition, also other applications and multi-modal imaging techniques can benefit from this state-of-the art ultrafast laser.
SOPRANO is designed to deliver reliable 24/7 operation in industrial as well as scientific environments. It was developed in close cooperation with biomedical experts to provide a unique light source with the best features of complex laser systems at an affordable price.
