Ti:Sapphire laser is the most popular femtosecond laser for variety of
novel imaging techniques including multiphoton microscopy. So far the
cost of femtosecond lasers limited the number of laboratories that can
afford them.
Del Mar Photonics offers
affordable femtosecond lasers combined with a new bread of DPSS and
green fiber laser pumps. The UCLA Biophysics Neuroimaging Laboratory,
one of Del Mar Photonics customers is committed to developing new
microscopy techniques to further the reach of experimental methods in
the area of systems neuroscience. Adrian Cheng, a physics graduate
student at UCLA, considers
Del Mar Photonics system
as great entry level system into exciting field of multiphoton imaging.
Check this
video where
Adrian Cheng shows his multiphoton imaging system based on
Del Mar Photonics
Ti:Sapphire laser and describes his experiments on imaging of
neural activity in zebra fish.
Del Mar Photonics offers Ti:Sapphire lasers priced under $50,000
(including pump laser) and high power >1W and up lasers priced in
$80,000 range (including pump laser).
