Purchase Description

1. Statement of Need and Purpose:

The Coherent Chameleon Vision II is a powerful and versatile ultrafast laser that has a wide range of applications in scientific research. Its short pulse duration and tunable output make it ideal for a variety of imaging and microscopy techniques, including two-photon microscopy and optogenetics.

2. Background Information and Objective:

The ability to tune the output of the Chameleon Vision II over a wide range of wavelengths allows researchers and professionals to select the ideal wavelength for their specific application, making it a flexible and adaptable tool. Its high peak power and reliability make it an excellent choice for demanding research environments, where accuracy and repeatability are critical. This will be used for our imaging experiments.

3. Generic Name of Product:

The chameleon Vision II is a tunable ultrafast laser that has the ability to emit short light pulses with durations on the order of femtoseconds, as well as its tunable output wavelength range.

The tunable aspect of the Chameleon Vision and similar lasers allows users to select a specific output wavelength within a certain range, giving them flexibility in their experiments or applications. This is achieved through the use of nonlinear optical effects, which can convert the laser's initial wavelength into a new one.

4. Purchase Description:
