    Scientifica Multiphoton Resonant System

    Designed to acquire fast frame rates deep into tissues over the entire field of view.

    Tailored to large back aperture objectives, the entire field of view can be quickly scanned to monitor the activity from a large number of cells.

    (Model MP-2050 & MP-2070)

    Benefits

    Resonant scanning mirror

    The resonant system features an 8 kHz scan mirror that can take frames of 512 x 512 pixels at 30 frames per second.

    Acoustic isolation

    Our custom designed scan head enclosure integrates acoustic insulating foam to greatly reduce the audible noise created by the resonant motor without affecting perfomance

    Pioneering slim design

    A compact footprint and flexible design as the basis for the Multiphoton system allows easy integration with other techniques such as electrophysiology.

    Easily convert between in vivo and in vitro

    The SliceScope's unique removable sub-stage, increasing the range of experiments which can be carried out on one rig.

    Uniform spot size

    The relay lens system within the scan head achieves highly accurate imaging of small structures and prevents vignetting (or loss of signal) at the edge of the image.

    Control options

    The resonant system can be fully controlled by Scientifica's own SciScan software or by Vidrio Technologies ScanImage software.

    Upgrade to the Scientifica ChromoFlex

    Enhance the Multiphoton Imaging System by upgrading to the ChromoFlex.

    The ChromoFlex replaces the above stage multiphoton detection unit (MDU) and enables simultaneous imaging of up to four different colour dyes with the increased sensitivity of GaAsP PMT detectors.

    Example Setup

    The images below show an in vivo Multiphoton Resonant Imaging System including a riser block, XY stage, launch optics and movable periscope.

    Testimonials

    “The Scientifica multiphoton system was very easy to use. I have touched multiphoton systems before with an interface that at first is slightly intimidating, but this is not the feeling I had with Scientifica’s system. It’s very fast, and fast acquisition will help researchers in certain scenarios.”

    User at the EMBO Course on Advanced Optical Microscopy for Cell Biology, 2018


    “I like the Scientifica microscope as it is very flexible, so you can easily change the configuration to adapt the microscope for your experiment. For example, if you want to change it from in vitro to in vivo you just need to remove the condenser”
