Intelligent Imaging Innovations, Inc. releases the Phasor™

Denver, CO, May 23, 2011 – Intelligent Imaging Innovations (3i) offers the first commercial implementation of a phase-only spatial light modulator (SLM) designed specifically for patterned and 3D point photomanipulation in optical microscopy. Phasor™ is compact and modular, allowing direct attachment to a microscope imaging port. Illumination is provided by the 3i LaserStack™ through a fiber optic coupling.

Phasor is controlled by 3i’s SlideBook™ software to manage region specification, hologram generation, experimentally synchronized optical path switching and excitation light gating. This state of the art co
ntrol enables sophisticated experiment design incorporating pattern photomanipulation, including FRAP, photoactivation, photoconversion, and photostimulation.

Solid state laser illumination from 3i’s LaserStack, with the addition of 3i’s mSwitcher™, makes it possible to use a single set of lasers for multiple techniques on one system, such as point-scanning photomanipulation, spinning disk confocal imaging, and TIRF illumination. mSwitcher’s sub-millisecond change speeds make it is possible to design elaborate experiments that utilize a given set of lasers for a combination of imaging techniques at very high speeds.

Advantages of Digital Holography Fluorescence Microscopy:

• Efficient use of illumination intensity by redirecting a significant portion of the light to regions where photomanipulation is desired

• Superior optical sectioning for larger regions compared to approaches that use Gaussian beam illumination

• Different points of stimulation can be focused at different z planes

• Entire photomanipulation patterns can be axially displaced from the imaging plane of focus.

3i designs and manufactures optical microscope systems, components, and software for cutting edge biomedical research. Our experienced team of scientists and engineers continue our 15-year tradition of creating advanced research instruments. 3i provides an array of microscopy platforms to suit needs from the individual researcher to core facilities. Our modular systems can be expanded with an array of technologies to address both established and emergent scientific methods. Our over-arching goal is to continue to create the best imaging technologies by scientists for scientists.
