San Francisco: Where History Fuels Progression
Each year, the city of San Francisco welcomes the photonics community to the largest international conference and exhibition in the industry — Photonics West. The Moscone Center comes alive with the latest research and the newest products.
It’s an ideal place to host such an event, as this city by the bay is well known for its innovation and progressive culture. And it’s credited with a dot com surge that is now home to technology hubs including Twitter, Pinterest and Reddit. The future remains bright for San Francisco, but its rich history still shares the spotlight.

PicoQuant. Experience Flexibility.
From: PicoQuant GmbH
The VisIR/VisUV picosecond pulsed laser platform is expanded through the inclusion of two high-powered modules with dual output in the UV/green (280/560 nm) and UV/orange (295/590 nm) spectral regions. Thanks to the biological relevance of their emission wavelengths, both modules are optimally suited for exciting molecular probes, fluorescent proteins, or even tryptophane in a wide variety of time-resolved spectroscopy and microscopy applications, including STED super-resolution microscopy.
