Compact modulated 594 nm with 100 mW for bioimaging
HÜBNER Photonics, manufacturer of high-performance lasers for advanced imaging, detection and analysis, proudly announces the addition of a new orange wavelength on the Cobolt 06-01 Series of modulated lasers. The 06-DPL 594 nm has 100 mW output power and can be directly modulated in either digital or analogue modulation up to 50 kHz, making it ideal for exciting red fluorophores, such as AF594, mCherry, mKate2, that are often used in optogenetics and other bioimaging applications.
Active power control during modulation ensures a perfect linear optical response and stable illumination from the first pulse and for any duty cycles and power levels.
