Our highlights at Photonics West 2023

Drop by at our booths 8825 and 3325

Ten of our experts are looking forward to meeting you and the whole photonics community in person January 28 - February 2, 2023 at the SPIE Photonics West 2023 in San Francisco. This year, we are bringing exciting innovations in all three product lines with us:

First and foremost, Luminosa, our brand new single photon counting confocal microscope. Next, Prima, a compact three-color picosecond laser module. Finally, novel features for the MultiHarp 150 and MultiHarp 160, our high-throughput event timers with up to 64 channels.

So come by our booths to see these and other new products live and to catch up with our specialists.

BiOS exhibition: booth 8325
Photonics West exhibition: booth 3325

Online presentation of our new Single Photon Counting Confocal Microscope Luminosa

The recording of the presentation is now available

Our latest time-resolved confocal microscopy system Luminosa pairs highest data quality with remarkably simple day-to-day operation. In a product presentation on October 6, 2022, Product Manager Dr. Evangelos Sisamakis and Application Specialist Dr. Mathias Bayer demonstrated how Luminosa easily integrates into any researcher's toolbox to become a time-efficient and reliable companion for scientists starting to explore the use of time-resolved fluorescence methodologies as well as for experts wanting to push the limits further.

Fluorescence microscopy on a new level

A new system makes quantitative time-resolved fluorescence microscopy accessible to a broader range of scientists

“Today, I need the help of my physics post-doc, when I want to exploit the capabilities of my single photon fluorescence microscope” says a prominent group leader in Biochemistry. “Your new system with this judicious technology would release him to do his actual work.” That statement was given when developers from PicoQuant in Germany asked the professor for his feedback on their latest prototype of a new single photon counting fluorescence microscope. In the meantime, the prototype has become a full product named Luminosa.

Coming in September: Luminosa, our new Single Photon Counting Confocal Microscope

Efficient, flexible, and with highest data quality

In September 2022, we will launch our latest innovation for microscopists: Luminosa, our new Single Photon Counting Confocal Microscope. Luminosa pairs highest data quality with remarkably simple day-to-day operation. It easily integrates into any researcher's toolbox and becomes a time-efficient, reliable companion for scientists starting to explore the use of time-resolved fluorescence methodologies as well as for experts wanting to push their limits.

You can learn more about Luminosa at several events in September and in online presentations in October. Read more on our Luminosa page.

PicoQuant upgrades its multichannel event timers with flexible and powerful hardware event filters

A recent, free gateware and software update enables higher throughput and smaller data sizes for demanding applications

With the release of a free gateware and software update, PicoQuant adds a powerful, new feature to the MultiHarp 160 and 150P event timers: multifunctional on-board event filters. These user-definable filters are hardware-based and enable the filtering of events in real time. This feature is particularly aimed at demanding application scenarios that make use of information spread across several channels, such as coincidence counting in quantum sciences.
