From problem to process

Repeatable results need a source you can trust to stay put.

01 · Problem
Drift and downtime cost measurements
Research and biomedical setups run for hours, and a drifting source wastes samples and invalidates comparisons. Bulky lasers with water loops add vibration, heat and service visits to a bench that has no room for them.
02 · Requirement
What the process needs
- Short pulses with stable energy over long runs
- A compact, quiet source that fits the instrument
- Wavelength and repetition rate matched to the sample
- Repeatable results and long-term availability for validation
03 · Process
Ultrashort pulses, low thermal load
Femtosecond pulses deliver peak power for multiphoton excitation and photopolymerization while keeping average power, and heat in the sample, low. Fiber delivery keeps the beam path simple and the alignment stable.

Why the architecture fits

Compact laser head

Fits into microscopes, imaging heads and OEM instrument housings.

Passive air cooling

The BIOLIT 2 laser head is passively air cooled. No chiller or water loop near the sample.

Stable pulse energy

Stable output keeps images and structures comparable from one run to the next.

Simple integration

CAN and USB control for lab software and instrument controllers.
