Virtual Show Day: Get a closer look at the MicroTime 200

The recording of this event is now available

On September 16, 2021, we held a MicroTime 200 virtual Show Day. At this event, our experts Olaf Schulz and Mathias Bayer demonstrated how easily rapidFLIM, FLIM-FRET, smFRET, and FC(C)S data can be acquired and analyzed, as well as answered all questions that arose. You can now request the recording of the MicroTime 200 Show Day from our webinar website.

PicoQuant held 26th Single Molecule Workshop in Berlin

About 100 researchers from around the world met to share the latest developments

From September 29 to October 1, 2021, PicoQuant organized the 26th International Workshop on “Single Molecule Spectroscopy and Super-resolution Microscopy”; the first on-site meeting in the single molecule community since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The workshop gave scientists from 13 different countries the opportunity to finally meet in person for sharing their most recent results in the field of ultrasensitive optical detection down to the single molecule level and beyond the classical diffraction limit.

“It was really exciting to once again see so many members of the single molecule community and to interact with them in person. Judging from the feedback I got, the participants also greatly enjoyed networking and talking science while being in the same real world location”, says Rainer Erdmann, Managing Director of PicoQuant.

Free webinar: Prima – A new multiple color pulsed diode laser

Sneak peak with Product Manager Guillaume Delpont

When investigating a broad range of samples, researchers often need access to several excitation wavelengths. Buying multiple pulsed diode lasers or even a tunable laser can be quite expensive. PicoQuant’s solution for this challenge? The new compact, stand alone laser module Prima, which offers three individual emission wavelengths and can be operated either in picosecond pulsed or continuous wave mode. Join our Product Manager Guillaume Delpont for a sneak peak at this powerful yet affordable laser module in a free webinar.

PicoQuant and Seven Solutions jointly release white paper on synchronizing TCSPC units in a White Rabbit timing network

Free paper demonstrates impact of synchronization on time accuracy of MultiHarp devices connected by switches

In a recent paper, researchers from PicoQuant have demonstrated that synchronizing Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC) devices in a White Rabbit timing network has only a negligible effect on their time accuracy. Multiple devices from PicoQuant’s MultiHarp product line were connected using Low Jitter White Rabbit switches from Seven Solutions the leading manufacturer of White Rabbit components. The authors have investigated how various network topologies, optical fiber lengths, and presence of Ethernet traffic affects the time accuracy of connected MultiHarp 150 and MultiHarp 160 devices.
