- Coherent Corp. (COHR, Financial) launches Axon FL, a versatile fiber coupling module for Mini2P microscopy applications.
- The module offers seamless switching between free-space and fiber-coupled outputs, enhancing the functionality of the Axon 920 TPC laser.
- Available as an accessory, it provides a cost-effective upgrade for existing Axon 920 TPC users.
Coherent Corp. (COHR), a leader in photonics, has announced the introduction of the Axon FL, a fiber coupling module designed to enhance the capabilities of the Axon 920 TPC ultrafast femtosecond laser. This module targets the growing field of Mini2P microscopy, providing a direct solution for in vivo brain imaging in freely moving animals by enabling seamless interchangeability between free-space and fiber-coupled outputs.
The Axon FL module fills a crucial gap in the market by delivering reliable femtosecond laser pulses through standard FC/PC connectors. It provides high contrast power control and dynamic group delay dispersion tuning, ensuring precise optimization for Mini2P applications. This advancement allows researchers to explore neural circuits and cellular dynamics with greater flexibility and precision.
"The Axon FL unlocks a new level of flexibility for labs already using the Axon 920 TPC," said Dr. Chris Dorman, Executive Vice President, Lasers Business Group at Coherent. Its modular design, precision alignment, and cost-effective upgrade path offer unmatched convenience and performance for Mini2P users.
Unlike competing systems, the Axon FL is available as an accessory, making it a smart, economical choice for existing users. With robust compatibility and precision-engineered alignment features, it sets a new benchmark in fiber-coupled laser performance for the neuroscience community.
