A combination of high average power across a wide tun- ing range (680 nm to 1300 nm) and short pulses delivered right to the sample plane enables deep in-vivo excitation of all popular fluorescent probes, like eGFP and YFP. The long wavelength capabilities address perfectly the ongoing de- velopments in RFPs and red-shifted calcium indicators. High peak power ensures optimized performance for label-free techniques such as SHG and THG. A high power, 1040 nm, secondary output further allows simultaneous, multiwavelength excitation of multiple fluo- rescent markers or photoactivation of optogenetics probes. The two outputs of the laser have phase-locked pulse trains, enabling CARS and SRS microscopy. As should be expected from every Chameleon laser, beam quality is exquisite, guaranteeing optimum axial resolution and efficient power transmission through the microscope optical system. Chameleon Discovery is totally automated, with a simple interface that allows fast tuning and easy integration with commercial and home-built microscope systems. The rugged testing demanded by Coherent’s industrial design process ensures high system uptime and low maintenance.
