Image with flexibility.
The MPC-series combines the integrated design of our MPX-series with the flexibility of fluorescence microscopes.
It utilizes the Evident® (Olympus) fluorescence illuminator, which allows the users to add various parts from the Evident® (Olympus) portfolio, e.g. tube lens or filter wheels.
- Highly customizable
- 3-Photon and THG / FHG imaging
- 680nm to 1700nm, covering the full range of Ti: Sapphire lasers, fiber lasers as well as OPO/OPA/OPCPA systems up to 1700nm
- Up to 4 ultra-sensitive GaAsP PMTs, HPDs, SiPMs with low dark count rate in epi or transmission
- Compatible with Evident (Olympus) epi-fluorescence OEM products
- Open frame for later upgrades
- Optimized fluorescence detection through large collection angle and 2“ optics
Specifications
You can customize the MPC scan optics as it covers the entire range from 680nm to 1750nm. It is an ideal solultion for your 2P, 3P and 4P, imaging as well as label-free SHG, THG, CARS, SRS and FLIM.
The MPC is compatible with all Prospective Instruments FSX ultrafast lasers, as well as suitable laser models from most ultrafast laser manufacturers.
