Advantages of Monolithic Laser Combiner Technology in Confocal Microscopy Systems
Fluorescence microscopy techniques require a reliable light source at the desired wavelength or wavelengths, with minimal downtime for maintenance and alignment. Lasers are a popular light source, although the alignment and upkeep of laser combiners is a time-consuming prospect for many users. This paper describes a new combiner based on a complex monolithic optic design paradigm that provides improved performance over existing laser-based technologies.
