Gecko-45-HSS is a 45,000 RPM polygon laser scanner with a 4.5 mm aperture. It has a linear scan speed up to 12KHz. High speed, combined with a 20 degree scan angle, are ideal for many biomedical applications including: Ophthalmology; Microscopy;…
High speed polygon scanners are needed when galvanometer scanners are not fast enough. Polygon scanners are typically made to order involving long lead times and high cost due to low volume. Now, Precision Laser Scanning is offering two GECKO polygon…
Beam shaping is well known in material processing. The normal Gaussian beam profile may be is converted to a top hat (flat top) to more efficiently utilize the full energy of the beam. The same beam shaping optics can also…
Congratulations to Elizabeth Hillman, associate professor of biomedical engineering at Columbia Engineering, who implemented a high speed polygon scanner in a new 3D microscopy technology. SCAPE (swept confocally aligned planar excitation microscopy) uses a simple, single-objective lens imaging geometry that…
