New Multi-photon filters from Semrock
For NLO / Multiphoton users, Semrock has released a variety of new multiphoton products. Moving deeper into the NIR region is the FF01-890/SP-25 shortpass emission filter and the corresponding FF875-Di01-25x36 dichroic beamsplitter. The FF01-625/90-25 multiphoton bandpass emission filter for CARS, and the NFD01-1064-25x26 notch dichroic beamsplitter for both CARS and SRS are also available.
New Semrock mirrors available
New 1.1mm General Purpose Mirrors are designed to provide excellent (98% avg) reflectivity over a broad wavelength range on a thin (1.05mm) substrate. These mirrors were designed for microscope applications, to be installed in the lightpath at a 45 degree angle of incidence and are excellent for laser ablation, photobleaching applications and multimodal excitation light switching. In stock are the MGP01-350-700-25x36 for 350-700nm visible light applications, and MGP01-650-1300-25x36 for 650-1300 near-IR applications.
New motorized stages from Zaber: closed loop and vacuum compatible
Zaber have recently launched a new range of closed-loop stages, and have added to their vacuum compatible range.
"Closed loop" stages have an encoder that gives feedback of the position. This enables more accurate positioning and prevents slipping and stalling as the device is aware of its absolute rather than relative position. The A-LSQ-E stages are also Zaber's fastest yet, able to move at 1 metre per second.
The new high and low vacuum positioning devices add to a growing range of vacuum compatible stages. Zaber motorized positioners have built-in controllers, allowing them to be daisy-chained together. In addition, the power to the vacuum devices is transmitted through their data cables. In a vacuum chamber, this reduces the wiring and feed-throughs for multiple devices down to just one - other devices require one feed-through per device.
