How multi-line lasers simplify and help commercialise biomedical imaging systems
15 November 2019
This article is brought to you by:
Multi-line lasers are an attractive alternative to laser combiners to simplify fluorescence-based imaging instrumentation. Furthermore, they help commercialise new, cutting-edge imaging systems for clinical use. This white paper explores the advantages of a permanently aligned multi-line laser, giving examples of how such a laser is used in microscopes developed at Julius-Maximilian-University of Würzburg and the University of Washington.
