Leica Acoustooptical beamsplitter (AOBS) with spectral detectors

Acoustooptical beamsplitter (AOBS) with spectral detectors is used to interfere with physiological processes in intact tissues and organs. The basis of this microscope enables spatially limited interference within single cells in biological samples of bigger dimensions. Handling of the laser beam used for photolysis or depletion of stimulated emission can be relatively slow to enable long-term spatially resolved manipulation of the cellular processes or in high speed mode, which enables triggering of transient sub-millisecond events. The basis of laser light manipulation is electrooptical modulator that can precisely set the duration and power of the laser light in the focal point.
