MICROSCOPY WHITE PAPERS
“Fingerprint” vs Handheld Raman Applications and the Different Optical Filters That Enable ThemRaman spectroscopy is a powerful non-invasive, non-contact tool capable of identifying molecular constituents of samples. Wavelength selective optical filters are used to block the dominant Rayleigh scattered light and transmit only the Raman photons providing “more signal, with less background” to the detector. It is critical to balance the performance and commercial needs of different markets and applications when selecting the optical filters for each application.
Is a DIY Microscope for You?For some advanced microscopy and nanoscopy techniques it becomes necessary to modify existing instrumentation or build an instrument from scratch. This article helps readers determine whether a do-it-yourself (DIY) microscope is the appropriate...
Sub 50 Femtosecond Pulse Lasers for Gentler Multiphoton MicroscopyFinding the ideal ultra-fast laser source for a multiphoton imaging setup is not trivial. It is a fine balance between peak power, pulse energy and laser wavelength. In this white paper we show that the use of sub 50 fs pulsed lasers produces very...
