	Femtosecond laser micro-machining workstations produce glass spacers, micro drilled glass, and packaging glass products. The foundations of these systems are femtosecond lasers from Light Conversion.
In a published paper, the authors explain how they developed a cost-efficient, open source laser engine for fluorescence microscopy. Their experimental setup included a powerful diode-pumped solid-state laser (DPSS) gem 561 laser (561 nm, 500 mW) from Laser Quantum.
	MegaWatt Lasers (MWL) has developed a high energy 2.94 µm resonator with a relatively quasi-continuous wave (QCW) short pulse duration. The specs for this device are 3 J at 10 Hz with an optical pulse duration of 100 µs. These resonators have found world-wide use for medical and scientific applications.
Expanding the limits of super resolution microscopy into electron microscopy territory! The gem 532 laser from Laser Quantum is a critical laser source that is enabling this cutting edge technique. For more information, read the full paper.
