Request InfoSiskiyou Corp.GRANTS PASS, Ore., Feb. 16, 2015 — The IS-OGP by Siskiyou is an optomechanical module designed for integration of external laser beams into microscopes used for optogenetics experiments. It positions the focused laser stimulation spot — 10 µm typical with 20× objective — with submicron accuracy anywhere within the field of view. It features independent X- and Y-axis positional control of the focused laser spot, as well as an integrated fiber connector and collimator. It is suited to visible and near-infrared excitation.See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPromoted Content December 2022 IssueNEW 4-Wavelength LED IlluminationCoolLED has launched its new pE-400 Series Illumination Systems where sophisticated control combines with powerful illumination for cost-effective fluorescence microscopy, from routine to advanced...BioPhotonics Mar/Apr 2024 IssueLight EngineThe ZIVA Light Engine from Lumencor was made for structured illumination microscopy, stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy, and other super-resolution microscopy applications.
