Gemma Church explains how Vortran Laser Technology’s laser diodes are advancing flow cytometry and confocal microscopy
We explain how we create simple solutions for complex problems across the life sciences and other markets.
Vortran Laser Technology has introduced its Stradus 488nm diode laser module, featuring 50mW output power, affordable alternative to high-power DPSS lasers for flow cytometry and microscopy applications
Vortran Laser Technology has introduced its Stradus family of laser diode modules, capable of delivering digital modulation at 200MHz, available in popular wavelengths suitable for biomedical, R&D, and laboratory applications

As microscopes become ever more powerful, a growing band of businesses are racing to make the latest technologies more accessible and more affordable, reports Rebecca Pool
Illustration of a three-dimensional crystal with various types of confining centres. (a) Crystal with four confining centres, each trapping waves (yellow) in all three dimensions simultaneously. (b) Crystal with a linear confining centre where waves can propagate in one dimension, analogous to an optical fibre. (c) Crystal with a planar confining centre where waves can propagate in two dimensions, analogous to a 2D electron gas. (Image: Vos et al.)
Newly discovered fundamental rules have been embedded into software to dramatically optimise the design of photonic integrated circuits
