Eos Vision

Our solution for microscopy

The best confocal microscope for imaging across VIS, NIR, and SWIR

We understand the challenges of achieving optimal signal-to-noise ratios in the NIR and SWIR spectral ranges. That’s why we’ve developed an innovative solution that enables you to capture high-quality images with excellent signal-to-noise for fluorescence signals in these wavelengths.

Through the integration of SNSPD-based detection technology and our collaboration with Pico Quant, we now provide a fully customized microscope solution designed to meet your specific research requirements.

Already using a MicroTime 100 or 200 system? You can easily upgrade to take advantage of these new and  sophisticated capabilities.

FLIM made possible in the NIR and SWIR

Ultra-high timing resolution and high dynamic range

We designed our confocal imaging system specifically to support NIR/SWIR FLIM, delivering exceptional lifetime precision through the ultra-high timing resolution of 15 ps and a high dynamic range. This makes it an ideal solution for FLIM in the NIR and SWIR regions, where lifetimes are often short, allowing you to extract more information from your samples.

Highlights

  • Upright or inverted confocal microscopy
  • VIS NIR and SWIR excitation and detection
  • FLIM compatible ​
  • Live cell imaging​
  • Material and life science compatible
  • User friendly

Optimized for NIR and SWIR imaging applications

With the Eos Vision x MicroTime system, you can easily image a variety of fluorescent markers, including ICG, quantum dots, nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes. The system’s versatile excitation and detection capabilities make it ideal for a wide range of imaging applications, as well as an excellent choice for material science applications, enabling clear visualization of perovskites and single-photon sources.

Specifications

Our microscopy solution can achieve greater imaging depth in biological tissue with NIR/SWIR, leveraging the optical sectioning capabilities unique to confocal microscopy. For life science applications, a sample stage and an incubation chamber are available to meet your experimental needs.
