Compact and flexible solution for your multiphoton research
The MPX-series multiphoton imaging platform is highly modular, offering two standard models that can be customized with options and accessories.
With the MPX you have the flexibility to design a multiphoton microscope that suits your needs and budget.
Its future-proof design and movable scanhead allow you to easily configure it in various positions, and the modular design enables upgrades with extra features on the same platform.
