Fiber Focuser
From: Micro Laser Systems Inc.
Our Fiber Focusers are designed to generate diffraction-limited micron spots at long working distance with single-mode fiber. The assembly is composed of a fiber collimator and a focusing cell that screws on to provide a compact, self-aligned assembly. Various focusing cells range from 1:1 imaging or less to 150-mm distance. There is no epoxy in the optical path. Applications include cytometry, scanning, wafer analysis, and probing in hazardous environments.

Uniformly Coating Cylinders
From: Deposition Sciences Inc. (DSI)
Accurate solar simulation for improved product durability and increased lifetime relies on having uniform coatings on tubes and cylinders. To address the challenges of fabricating uniform coatings, DSI engineers have developed customized tooling for the company’s reactive sputtering system to evenly coat the entire circumference of cylindrical parts. Synchronized rotation during sputtering allows consistent coating exposure for every part of the tube’s outer surface.

Dual Light Sheet Microscopy
From: Applied Scientific Instrumentation Inc.
ASI’s Dual Selective Plane Illumination Microscopy for Cleared Tissue (ct-dSPIM) is one of many light sheet microscope configurations possible using our modular components. This flexible and easy-to-use SPIM implementation allows for dual views of large samples such as cleared tissue (ct). The ct-dSPIM has been successfully used to image various cleared-tissue samples, including whole mouse brains.
