TECHNOLOGY PRODUCTS Laser systems 3XL-3200
Eurolaser’s new generation 3XL-3200 laser system is for especially large textiles. With the 3XL-3200, sheets up to 3,210mm wide can be processed. The 3XL- 3200 has a conveyor system that guides the roller to the working surface. Leftover fabric can be rolled up again after cutting. The machine’s table can also be removed so it is possible to remove fabric cuts from three of its sides. Eurolaser’s software can accept a variety of data formats including CDR, EPS, HPGL and AI. The software, called OptiScout version seven, also allows for the automatic nesting of blanks to save material, or the camera recognition of optical registration marks.

Mlab Cusing R
Concept Laser has expanded its range to include a flexible model in a small format – bearing the suffix R, for titanium applications. The new Mlab Cusing R was developed to allow the economical fabrication of dental products and medical implants, and for medical instruments made from titanium. Mlab Cusing
machines allow users to start off in a lightweight class of additive manufacturing with metals. Since the Mlab cusing machines were introduced at the start of 2011, they have been sold for small components. The Mlab Cusing R expands
the previous range of materials to include titanium and titanium
alloys. It features the drawer principle, with a glovebox module for safe handling of the material. The patented drawer principle from Concept Laser enables a quick change of material without the risk of any contamination of powder materials.

Cambridge Technology says its FlexScan-3D systems are application-flexible, integrated three-axis solutions. The company says the flexibility
FemtoFErb 780
Toptica’s FemtoFErb 780 laser system delivers 50mW average power at 780nm centre wavelength, with a pulse duration of less than 100fs at a repetition rate of 100MHz. Based on polarisation- maintaining Erbium-doped fibres and saturable absorber mirror (SAM) mode-locking technology, the all-fibre system features a compact SHG unit and comes with a free- beam output. Toptica says the FemtoFErb 780’s footprint of 202 x 122 x 69mm makes it the most compact fs-fibre laser commercially available. It also provides a suitable seeding source for Ti:Sapphire systems. In addition, it suits various
Microscopy
Correlative microscopy set FEI has released a suite of solutions for correlative light and electron microscopy. The solutions suite provides methods in correlative microscopy that bring data from different imaging techniques together in
36
minutes, giving cell biologists the precise information they need. According to FEI, scientists
believe that correlating information from the cellular down to the molecular level will lead to breakthrough discoveries on diseases such as cancer, AIDS, and

Parkinson’s. Electron microscopy (EM) offers extremely high image resolution – 1,000 or more times better than light microscopes. Light microscopes (LM) offer a wide variety of specialised techniques, such as fluorescent labelling, that can identify a single molecule or
structure within a large, complex environment like the interior of a living cell. Correlating between the two techniques allows scientists to use LM to find the target and EM to explore its form and function.

applications in biophotonics, ranging from SHG microscopy to multi-photon excitation. The FemtoFErb provides an electrical interface for remote control and only requires a 12V supply to drive all internal electronics. An optional SwitchBox provides all switches, supplies and status lines needed to run the laser as a standalone system.
