Latest animation released – Raman spectroscopy
Based on the Raman spectroscopy technique, Laser Quantum has released its next animation video. Raman spectroscopy is a powerful technique for compound identification; both organic and inorganic specimen identification and polarisation analysis using either a fibre-coupled or a free-space laser. The animation focusses on the ventus family, and how this continuous-wave family of lasers can bring […]

Localization Microscopy
Read the recently published microscopy article published in Wiley Online, PhotonicsViews. The article focuses on localization microscopy, and how high–power continuous wave lasers can be used in super-resolution microscopy. Super-resolution microscopy overcomes the Abbe diffraction barrier allowing resolution greater than 200-300 nm. The article details the principles of single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM), and how it enables improved resolution by […]
Watch our Two-Photon Microscopy animation now
Achieving high resolution and increasing imaging speeds are two critical factors for effective two-photon microscopy. Our newest animation demonstrates how our helixx, with a repetition rate of 250 MHz, is tailored to the decay times of typical fluorophores to reduce photobleaching and toxicity and increase imaging speed and cell view times. Its short pulse duration […]
venteon – few cycle, ultrashort pulse
The venteon ultrafast laser range is based around short pulse generation and designed to meet individual needs. Working directly with your engineers, our venteon lasers are optimised for power, bandwidth and CEP stabilisation. The venteon can be used to meet a range of applications from few-cycle pulse generation and attosecond science to two-photon microscopy, all […]
Enhancing two photon microscopy
Two-photon microscopy has many advantages over conventional microscopy including; minimal photo-bleaching effect and sample damage, higher imaging depth of live cells, higher excitation efficiency, and simultaneous excitation of multiple fluorophores with the promotion of autofluorescence. Ultrashort (<10 fs) pluses enhance the two-photon microscopy technique. The peak power for a given average output is much higher […]
4 Tips to Achieve High-Quality Imaging in Microscopy Applications
Microscopy is an important technique across many disciplines both in research and commercially. There are many techniques used in microscopy including, spanning confocal, lattice light sheet and multiphoton—and for all, image resolution is a key factor. Resolution plays a big role in microscopy’s success as it refers to the microscope’s ability to select detail in […]
Terahertz Cyclotron Resonance Spectrometer
Dr. Darren Graham tells us about the development of the terahertz cyclotron resonance spectrometer at the Photon Science Institute, University of Manchester. Cyclotron resonance has been about since the 1960’s and the technique has led to the development of new semiconductor materials, producing light-emitting diodes and transistors. In order to perform the techniques, you need […]
A technique to achieve high resolution and faster sampling in Microscopy
Fluorescence microscopy is a continually developing tool for imaging biological samples, however, the same challenges are faced throughout the microscopy world: High-resolution levels Faster sampling rates Light-sheet microscopy is a technique that employs scanning a sample as a plane of laser light, a second excitation lens is placed on a perpendicular axis to the detection […]
