New WITec Multi-Wavelength Coupling Unit for the alpha300 and alpha500 Series
It is now possible to switch between up to three laser sources by the simple rotation of a filter wheel. Calibration and alignment of the laser beam path is guaranteed at all positions, assuring accurate and variable Raman imaging. Each excitation
wavelength features a high-quality and wavelength-optimized filter set, enabling the highest throughput and contributing greatly to the exceptional speed and sensitivity of WITec’s systems.

SR Microscope Stages are More Stable with Capacitive Feedback
PI (Physik Instrumente) LP has added two higher-performance models to its successful PInanoTM superresolution (SR) microscope stage series. Te new models
are equipped with direct-measuring capacitive sensors. Tis type of sensor can provide higher linearity and long-term stability than the lower cost piezoresistive sensor-equipped stages, which are still available. Capacitive sensors are also less sensitive to noise as opposed to the DC-based sensing technique used in piezoresistive sensors.
