New CellX for Microscopy Laser Engine

Introducing the new CellX purpose-built, turnkey laser engine for microscopy from Coherent.

Originally designed for flow cytometry, the extended CellX platform now supports three applications: flow cytometry, free-space applications, and introducing a fiber delivery system engineered for microscopy. 

CellX for microscopy has been designed to offer a common 0.7 mm beam diameter across all four wavelengths (405 nm, 488 nm, 561nm, and 640 nm), addressing a fundamental challenge in microscopy where different laser colors naturally focus at varying degrees. Integrating beam steering and telescope adjustments in CellX allows meticulous control over divergence. 

The innovative design of CellX extends to its fiber launch, providing a 4-laser array (each laser at 100 mW) into a fiber with the adjustments to optimize and maintain power transmission to the application. 

In fields like neuroscience, where precise, high-resolution imaging is paramount, optimizing and maintaining power transmission through a fiber is invaluable. CellX with fiber ensures that the power and clarity of laser light are not diminished in transmission, allowing scientists to illuminate and observe neural structures with unprecedented detail and clarity.

New Wavelength Meter

Bristol Instruments is excited to announce a new Laser Wavelength Meter ideal for the frequency stabilisation of lasers. The new models 872A-VIS and 872A-NIR Laser Wavelength Meters combine high measurement resolution with the reliable accuracy for which Bristol Instruments is known.

 

Supporting laser wavelength measurements from 375 to 1700 nm, the new 872A models offer a frequency resolution better than 300 kHz at 300,000 GHz, which results in exceptional sensitivity to wavelength deviations. With a built-in PID controller and 1 kHz sustained measurement rate, the 872A system is well suited to precisely stabilize lasers used for applications such as atomic cooling and trapping.

 

“The new 872 Series Laser Wavelength Meters provide the highest resolution wavelength measurement of virtually any laser,” said Nicolas George, Scientific Product Manager at Bristol Instruments. “These instruments will benefit scientists and engineers who need to maintain the exact wavelength of their lasers.”

New Compact Solid State Laser

Coherent Corp. (NYSE: COHR), a leader in lasers and thermoelectrics for life sciences and scientific research, today announced the introduction of the OBIS 640 XT, a diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) laser module with up to 1000 mW output at 640 nm for super-resolution microscopy (SRM).

 

Innovation in visible and ultraviolet lasers is enabling breakthroughs in SRM that can resolve macromolecular structures and provide crucial new insights into cell biology. Coherent introduced the OBIS 640 XT, a red laser module that matches the high output power, low noise, beam quality, and compact size of its existing portfolio of blue and green laser modules, which as a complete set enable high-performance SRM systems.

 

The portfolio of laser modules for life sciences includes the Sapphire and OBIS LS/LX/XT product lines, covering a wide range of output power and wavelengths from near-infrared to ultraviolet.
