Laser Source for Advanced Nonlinear Microscopy CRONUS-3P

CRONUS-3P is a laser source developed specifically for advanced nonlinear microscopy. It provides μJ-level pulses down to 50 fs at repetition rates of up to 2 MHz and tunable in the short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) range from 1.25 to 1.8 μm, thus covering the biological transparency windows at 1.3 μm and 1.7 μm for three-photon microscopy.

Typically, multiphoton imaging in the SWIR range requires a complex multi-device laser system and, usually, a good portion of an optical table and skilled staff – this reality encumbers neuroscience and other biomedical applications – the CRONUS-3P system is a next-generation, industrial-grade, single-supplier solution that is more compact, more reliable, and more versatile, and achieves tunable femtosecond excitation with an integrated group delay dispersion (GDD) control, ensuring optimal pulse duration at the sample, and industrial-grade design to guarantee high short- and long-term output stability.
