Coherent has introduced the Chameleon Vision, an integrated laser source for multiphoton excitation (MPE) microscopy.
Chameleon Vision combines a wide tuning range, high group velocity dispersion (GVD) compensation, high power, excellent pointing stability and a tiny footprint.
The high (47,000fs) GVD compensation means the Chameleon Vision can correct for the large GVD found in microscopes, with many highly dispersive elements.
The GVD compensation is fully adjustable across the entire dynamic range, even to zero, for maximum flexibility.
Versatility is enhanced by the extended wavelength tuning range (680 to 1080nm), which enables optimum excitation of red fluorophores such as m-cherry.
The high output power (greater than 2.5W) means the laser output can be optimised for shallow and deep tissue imaging.
The Chameleon Vision maximises the potential of multi-photon microscopy techniques.
All Coherent Chameleon lasers feature high reliability and hands-free, sealed operation.
The long-life Verdi pump-laser helps achieve this.
