AOTF and TCSPC info

[js1719]

We are looking to build a STED system here and are trying to price out parts for the system. The parts below are the things that Stefan Hell's group uses in Germany. We were wondering if there are comparable items from US/other companies.  If you have any suggestions they are greatly appreciated. 

thanks

Here are the AOTF and TCSPC we are looking for:

Julia -

Are you looking for an AOTF only or a white laser with an AOTF?
Because the latter is what Fianium offers. If you look for an AOTF
only, I would recommend those from A-A Opto (www.a-a.fr, no
commercial interest, just a satisfied customer), I'm sure they are
represented in the US also. If it is really the white laser you want,
I'd be curious to know why you want that for a STED system. The same
question goes for the TCSPC board. IMHO, both the laser and the
photon counting seem to be more useful for FLIM than STED (but OTOH,
my knowledge of STED is quite rudimentary).

Best regards,

Beat
