Photostimulation and optogenetics provide precise optical manipulation of complex biological networks.

These methods provide unique information in areas as diverse as neural mapping, visual regeneration, and vascular hypertension.
Optogenetics uses transgenic or transient expression of photosensitive proteins in model organisms, which allows for optical disturbances and observations at the organ, tissue and cellular levels.​

FROG — frequency-resolved optical strobing. FROG is the standard method for analyzing ultrashort laser pulses, replacing the old autocorrelation method, which gave an approximate estimate for the pulse length.

In fact, FROG is an autocorrelation algorithm with spectral resolution, which allows you to use a phase extraction algorithm to obtain an accurate time sweep of the intensity and phase of the pulse. A significant advantage of FROG is that this technique does not require a reference pulse. FROG is widely used in research and industrial laboratories around the world.

ClydeHSI hyperspectral cameras with push-broom technology are a specialized type of linear scanning cameras. They measure one line at a time, and the optical spectrum is measured at each pixel point along this line. This is an optically efficient process that allows you to obtain both high spatial and spectral resolution

Thus, different applications require different scanning systems to provide effective hyperspectral imaging, so the type of solution required for hyperspectral scanning depends on the camera and the application requirements. Considering the wide and diverse range of hyperspectral imaging applications, each of which has different application requirements

Standard configurations of the ZYGO interferometer can be used for many types of measurement scenarios. Most interferometers make direct measurements and can be manufactured to operate in a vacuum.

ZYGO specializes in the development of non-standard multi-axis interferometers for OEM applications. Customized designs allow you to deliver solutions for applications where space is limited. It also reduces the time required to set up the system, which allows for faster integration into the production process.

Novanta provides OEMs and engineers with solutions for specific applications, providing high-performance laser subsystems that combine CO2 lasers of their own production and ultrafast laser sources, laser beam transfer systems with full control of output parameters and, if necessary, ideally consistent power supplies and cooling systems.

Novanta's technical and manufacturing experience allows us to create unique solutions for specific applications that increase the performance of equipment.
As a reliable technology partner, Novanta uses a collaborative approach, working individually with each customer to create unique solutions for some of the most complex tasks of laser processing, diagnostics and analysis.

LYNXEA is a new generation of TCSPC autonomous instruments that represent a major breakthrough in lifetime measurements, photon source characterization, coincidence measurements, or any very low light level measurements in the visible range from 400 to 1060 nm.

LYNXEA is the first generation of single photon detectors with time correlation, which performs both synchronous "gated" and asynchronous "autonomous" detection modes. Its original architecture combines in one package up to two independent silicon channels for counting single photons in Geiger mode and a time correlator.

The polarization-sensitive OCT system of the Telesto® series stores, detects and processes information about the polarization of samples with the help of non-invasive subsurface optical imaging.

This technology can reveal the usually unobservable features of samples with double refraction (for example, fabrics, plastics or crystals) that occur due to the features of the internal microstructure.
For example, scar tissue will interact differently with polarized light than normal skin tissue, so information about polarization can be used to add an additional layer of contrast to a standard optical coherence tomography (OCT) image. This additional layer can be characterized as the cumulative deceleration, the optical axis, or the degree of uniformity of polarization.
