Spectra-Physics

Based in Santa Clara, Calif., !%Spectra-Physics%!, a division of Newport Corp., has been issued US Patent No. 7,962,046 for its DeepSee multiphoton imaging technology. Used in both the Mai Tai DeepSee and the InSight DeepSee products, the technique enables automated deep 3-D imaging of live tissue in neuroscience, cell biology and other advanced biological applications. Widely used in multiphoton imaging for automated precompensation of ultrafast laser pulses for optical dispersion in microscopes, the technology delivers short pulses and high peak power to the sample, resulting in enhanced image quality and deeper imaging penetration into tissue in vivo.
