Coherent Chameleon Discovery NX
The Chameleon Discovery NX, with Total Power Control (TPC) is the next generation automated ultrafast tunable laser with enhanced performance, to address the most demanding requirements in two photon imaging and spectroscopy.
Automated control
For hands-free operation.
Total Power Control (TPC)
Optional, built-in fast power modulation for a variety of multiphoton imaging requirements.
Industry-leading power levels across the tuning range
To enable deep in-vivo excitation of all popular fluorescent probes and the expanded dispersion pre-compensation range ensures the shortest pulses at the sample plane for a variety of microscopy configurations.
Optional secondary output at 1040nm
Allows simultaneous, multi-wavelength excitation of multiple fluorescent markers or photoactivation of optogenetics probes.
High dispersion pre-compensation range
For optimised peak power.
Industrial Design
For maximum uptime, lowest cost of ownership, and lowest cost of data.
