How could lasers transform your work? Leading medical companies rely on our femtosecond and supercontinuum lasers to push the boundaries in biophotonics, microscopy, ophthalmology, bio-imaging, neuroscience, and cancer diagnostics – enhancing surgical precision, improving patient outcomes, and accelerating breakthrough research. Our femtosecond lasers also enable high-contrast black marking on medical devices and play a key role in micromachining nitinol stents, where accuracy and material integrity are critical.
Hamamatsu Photonics for Neuroscience
Do you want to explore the brain with precision and control? Our aeroPULSE FS femtosecond lasers give you flexibility to match pulse energy and repetition rate to your exact setup, whether you are working with mice, flies, or zebrafish. It’s a cost-effective way to run, e.g., two-photon optogenetics experiments without paying for more power than you need.
Lasers for Ophthalmology
Our ultrafast femtosecond lasers, such as the aeroPULSE FS10, enable ultra-precise, minimally invasive eye surgeries such as FLACS and LASIK. They use ablation to create clean, accurate incisions without heating or harming surrounding tissue. Their precision and safety have significantly improved outcomes and shortened recovery times.
Bio-imaging, Life Science, and Microscopy
Our SuperK supercontinuum whitelight lasers are high-intensity broadband light sources, ideal for bioimaging and life science applications that demand diffraction-limited light. They are especially well-suited for STED microscopy, offering precise beam shaping and a broad spectrum of wavelengths from a single source. Add filters to select specific colors for exciting the fluorescent markers and turning them off in surrounding areas to sharpen the image. This flexibility makes SuperK lasers ideal for multi-color imaging and custom setups, helping researchers see the fine details at much higher resolution than standard microscopes.
These SuperK lasers provide exceptional imaging clarity and resolution for microscopes. With their broad spectrum and bright white light, they are crucial for applications like fluorescence microscopy and optical coherence tomography, allowing scientists to observe cellular structures and processes in great detail.
Black Marking for the Medical Industry
Medical devices must be permanently marked for safety and traceability, and femtosecond lasers are the ideal tool for the job. Our lasers create high-contrast, smooth black marks that will not fade or corrode, even after repeated cleaning and sterilization. They work on everything from stainless steel to plastics, making them a cost-effective, reliable solution for Unique Device Identifier (UDI) compliance.
Micromachining of Nitinol
Ultrashort pulse lasers are transforming stent manufacturing by enabling high-precision, athermal micromachining of advanced materials like nitinol and bioresorbable polymers. Our ORIGAMI XP femtosecond laser delivers exceptional cut quality with cold ablation, making it ideal for producing today’s intricate, next-generation stent designs.
