UGA-42 Series
Scanner-Based Systems for Localized Photomanipulation
The UGA-42 series comprises a variety of scanning devices for photomanipulation in microscopy and macroscopy applications. All devices allow the positioning of a laser beam virtually anywhere in the field of view of the camera for sequential illumination of points and/ or scanning of regions of interest (ROIs).
The UGA-42 series consists of three general models, each tailored to special experimental demands:
- UGA-42 Firefly – Small spot with high power density for general photomanipulation applications
- UGA-42 Geo – Variety of preset spot shapes and sizes for illumination of larger areas without scanning
- UGA-42 Caliburn – Small spot size, high energy pulsed lasers for ablation, microdissection and DNA-damage
Applications
The UGA-42 systems can be used for all kinds of experiments, where local light illumination or manipulation is needed.
Some typical applications are:
- Photobleaching / FRAP
- Photoconversion/ Photoswitching
- Ablation/ Microdissection
- DNA-Damage
- Photoactivation/ Photoinhibition
- Optogenetics/ Photostimulation
- Neural mapping, dynamics and plasticity
- Uncaging/ Photolysis
- Infrared Laser Temperature Jump
Versatility & Modularity
Due to the modular design, all these basic models can be combined to create a variety of customized, versatile and multipurpose systems.
Spectral range of laser systems
For all UGA-42 devices, we offer fully integrated turn-key laser systems with a large spectrum of wavelengths covering the near UV, the visible and the near IR range (266 nm – 1470 nm).
