New microscope installed at the University of Leeds

PicoQuant teamed up with JPK Instruments to provide a highly sensitive tool for a wide range of life science applications

In a joint effort by PicoQuant and JPK Instruments, a highly versatile microscope which combines Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) with Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM) has been installed at the University of Leeds. This integrated solution enables researchers to obtain structural information from biological samples with resolutions down to the molecular level while recording the fluorescence behavior of a wide variety of probes from the same sample area.

Taiko PDL M1 – Your Rhythm. Our Light.

PicoQuant’s first smart picosecond laser driver offers unmatched operational flexibility for even the most demanding application

Take full control over your pulsed picosecond light sources with PicoQuant recently released Taiko PDL M1 smart laser driver. This laser driver is tailor-made for the most demanding applications in life and material science, semiconductor diagnostic as well as laser-ranging. The Taiko PDL M1 is able to monitor and control most laser head parameters such as optical output power or laser head temperature. It offers unmatched operational flexibility, including a wide range of repetition rates, burst patterns, continuous wave operation, and external triggering. Featuring both an intuitive local one button control scheme and a versatile remote user interface, operating a laser has never been more easy and enjoyable. The two interfaces are fully synchronized and can be used simultaneously.

Young students get acquainted with fluorescence microscopy

Girls' Day 2018

Last week two groups of young females (age 10 and up) visited the premises of PicoQuant during this years Girls’ Day and met women in leadership positions in both research and business. The other highlight of the tour was the hands-on workshop where the girls learned about how to “make the invisible visible” thanks to fluorescence and light microscopy. The Girls’ Day is a yearly event hosted in Germany by research institutes and companies alike from the technical sector with the aim of enabling young females to gain insights into professions where women are still underrepresented.
