Where to Buy Fluorescence Microscopes

Optical microscopes are used to study objects that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. This can be organic cells, semiconductor surfaces, or even single molecules. There are two different approaches in optical microscopy, either detecting near-field (SNOM) or far-field signals emitted by the investigated materials.

There are various methods for optical microscopy that utilize different light sources. For some microscopy techniques a simple white light source is sufficient, whereas more sophisticated methods require lasers as light source. Those can be single-mode diode lasers or multi-laser engines that deliver a continuous laser beam at one or several colors, some techniques rely on short laser pulses with femtosecond duration that can be provided by TOPTICA's ultrafast fiber lasers.

Fluorescence microscopy allows highly specific imaging of cellular compartments in a minimally invasive fashion while obtaining the highest contrast. The diffraction-limited and pulsed nature of our SuperK lasers makes it possible to study fast lifetime phenomena. To enable maximum flexibility, our supercontinuum laser sources give you high brightness light anywhere within the VIS and nIR wavelength range (390–2400 nm). Get broadband output or tune to the line you need – all in one source.

RPMC Lasers offers a wide range of lasers wavelengths for fluorescence microscopy, ranging from the UV though the IR. All of these lasers provide a high quality TEM₀₀ beam profile, and a stable power output. Additionally, RPMC Lasers offers a multi-laser combiner which is ideal for coupling multiple excitation lasers to a single microscope.
