Scientifica Multiphoton Resonant System
Designed to acquire fast frame rates deep into tissues over the entire field of view.
Tailored to large back aperture objectives, the entire field of view can be quickly scanned to monitor the activity from a large number of cells.
(Model MP-2050 & MP-2070)
Applications
Multiphoton resonant in vivo configuration 360° view
Control options
The resonant system can be fully controlled by Scientifica's own SciScan software or by Vidrio Technologies ScanImage software.
Upgrade to the Scientifica ChromoFlex
Enhance the Multiphoton Imaging System by upgrading to the ChromoFlex.
The ChromoFlex replaces the above stage multiphoton detection unit (MDU) and enables simultaneous imaging of up to four different colour dyes with the increased sensitivity of GaAsP PMT detectors.
Example Setup
The images below show an in vivo Multiphoton Resonant Imaging System including a riser block, XY stage, launch optics and movable periscope.

Testimonials
“The Scientifica multiphoton system was very easy to use. I have touched multiphoton systems before with an interface that at first is slightly intimidating, but this is not the feeling I had with Scientifica’s system. It’s very fast, and fast acquisition will help researchers in certain scenarios.”
- Greg Strachan, University of Cambridge
User at the EMBO Course on Advanced Optical Microscopy for Cell Biology, 2018
“I like the Scientifica microscope as it is very flexible, so you can easily change the configuration to adapt the microscope for your experiment. For example, if you want to change it from in vitro to in vivo you just need to remove the condenser”
- Dr. Feng Wang, Yves De Koninck Lab, CERVO Research Center
