The manufacturer says it has matched its confocal and multiphoton microscope with a fully integrated OPO (optical parametric oscillator) solution. The integration allows observation of fast dynamic processes in living cells with deep penetration at high resolution with one integrated microscope system. It enables the user to adjust the excitation sources precisely as well as all other imaging settings within the same software, making it powerful tool for in vivo imaging. The system extends the choice of excitation wavelengths from formerly up to 1080 nm to now up to 1300 nm. The user can select between OPO and standard MP excitation wavelengths and has the choice of simultaneous or sequential excitation with the OPO and MP laser together.
