Hamilton Thorne Laser Granted European Patent

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
BEVERLY, Mass., and TORONTO, Aug. 3, 2012 — The modular objective assembly in Hamilton Thorne Ltd.’s Lykos and Xyrcos lasers will be granted a patent, according to a notice of intention the company received from the European Patent Office. Upon approval, the patent can be filed in more than 30 European countries.

"The patent on the modular objective assembly utilized in the Lykos and Xyrcos lasers is extremely valuable, as this patent broadly covers the concept of building a laser into a microscope objective,” said president and CEO David Wolf.

The assembly is a significant advance in integrated laser optics, providing increased resolution and compatibility with all major microscope models. The lasers are engineered to have the patented RED-i target locator built directly inside the objective, simplifying alignment procedures. The laser also features enhanced ultraviolet transmission and fluorescence, which is compatible with many fluorescing stains.

The Lykos Multi-Pulse software is suitable for clinical processes such as trophectoderm biopsy, pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, and laser-assisted hatching.

In other news, the company has restructured its current sales team under Wolf. Its former vice president of sales is no longer with the company.

Glossary
fluorescence
Fluorescence is a type of luminescence, which is the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation. Specifically, fluorescence involves the absorption of light at one wavelength and the subsequent re-emission of light at a longer wavelength. The emitted light occurs almost instantaneously and ceases when the excitation light source is removed. Key characteristics of fluorescence include: Excitation and emission wavelengths: Fluorescent materials...
microscope objective
The lens located at the object end of a microscope tube. A wide range of objectives is available, including simple achromats, the color-corrected apochromats and the flat-field objectives. Objectives are specified by numerical aperture and magnification (at the standard 160-mm tube length).
photonics
The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
