Coherent Introduces 1000 mW Red Laser Modules for Super-Resolution Microscopy
January 18 2024 - 6:00AM
Coherent Corp. (NYSE: COHR), a leader in lasers and thermoelectrics
for life sciences and scientific research, today announced the
introduction of the OBIS 640 XT, a diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS)
laser module with up to 1000 mW output at 640 nm for
super-resolution microscopy (SRM).
Innovation in visible and ultraviolet lasers is enabling
breakthroughs in SRM that can resolve macromolecular structures and
provide crucial new insights into cell biology. Coherent introduced
the OBIS 640 XT, a red laser module that matches the high output
power, low noise, beam quality, and compact size of its existing
portfolio of blue and green laser modules, which as a complete set
enable high-performance SRM systems.
“We continue to innovate and extend our portfolio of laser
modules for life sciences, which is the largest in the industry,
has for many years been a market-leading flagship product for
Coherent, and continues to be the benchmark in laser modules for
advanced life sciences applications,” said Dr. Torsten Rauch,
Senior Vice President, Solid-State Lasers Europe Business Unit.
“With the OBIS 640 XT, the product portfolio will now enable
advances in super-resolution microscopy, just as it has enabled
flow cytometry and DNA sequencing before that.”
The portfolio of laser modules for life sciences includes the
Sapphire and OBIS LS/LX/XT product lines, covering a wide range of
output power and wavelengths from near-infrared to ultraviolet. The
OBIS 640 XT will be generally available by the end of calendar Q1
2024.
Coherent’s broad portfolio of products for instrumentation in
life sciences also includes precision optics, filters, assemblies,
and thermoelectric modules. System providers can expand assembly
manufacturing at Coherent’s facilities in Dallas, Texas; Fuzhou,
China; and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, which are certified to ISO
13485 for biomedical assemblies.
Coherent will showcase its broad range of products and
innovations for sensing at Photonics West 2024 in San Francisco,
Jan. 30 to Feb. 1, Booth #4805 and at BiOS Expo Jan. 27-28, part of
Photonics West, in Booth #8630.
