Be an explorer

Our mission is to support researchers so that they can become exceptional explorers, by giving them the most appropriate two-photon imaging systems. Femtonics microscopes supply the most innovative technologies while addressing researchers’ needs and a wide variety of in vivo and in vitro biological applications.

As a response to evolving needs of understanding the cellular processes three-dimensionally, we have developed a novel 3D acousto-optic scanner-based two-photon microscope family which are capable of 3D imaging and astonishing scanning speed. Just take a look at how Femtonics’ technological advancements have been shaping microscopic imaging.

“For a long time, we used to build our own two-photon rigs for studying retinal circuits. When we started to look at cortical circuits we realized that we need a much more polished system. We tried an established provider but quickly faced the constraint that the rigidity of their platform did not allow us to perform large-scale recordings efficiently. Femtonics was very open to help us in order to reach our experimental aims and remained extremely supportive ever since. In the last eight years we used their system every day and could acquire data from almost a thousand mice. I cannot recall any major holdup despite such a heavy-duty usage. In comparison, our laser still needs servicing every year.”

Daniel Hilier, PhDFriedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research, FMI, Switzerland

“The two-photon excitation scopes we got from Femtonics had immediately placed us on a different level of experimental probing, in terms of fluorescence sensitivity and optical and imaging design flexibility. Their engineers have been quick and smart with fixing any technical issues arising. Looking forward to seeing the next wave of advanced instruments from them.”

Prof. Dmitri RusakovInstitute of Neurology, UCL, England

“The Femtonics team have provided us with an excellent service. Their extremely helpful ‘can do’ attitude has made for a first-class scientific relationship. The team have always provided an extremely prompt service, even outside standard working hours they have been ready and willing to assist. This level of service, combined with a very high level of technical knowledge has given us the confidence and security that a scientific research such as ours requires when servicing scientific research goals with high demands. All in all, I am very happy with the fast G/R line scans, the online software analyses and the competent service.”

Prof. Stefan HallermannCarl-Ludwig-Institute of Physiology, University Leipzig, Germany

“Over the past five years our collaboration with Femtonics has enabled us to reach all the challenging experimental goals set for this period. The modifications of both software and hardware in response to changing experimental needs and the elegant technical solutions provided by Femtonics continue to allow for a high flexibility in the use of our microscopes. I very much cherish the scientific roots and the inventive spirit of Femtonics!”

Prof. Veronica EggerInstitute of Zoology, Regensburg University, Germany

“Femtonics provides state of the art equipment which is flexible and suit many experimental setups. In addition, the scientific background of the company and in-house experimental expertise makes them the ideal commercial partner for the design and development of customized setups to fit your requirements. Their team is professional, responsive and very skilled.”

Nenitha Dagslott, PhDKavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience, NTNU, Norway

“We acquired our Femtonics 2P system six years ago which enables us to combine imaging, uncaging and optogenetics. I have always been impressed how Femtonics strived to think together with us as users and aimed for the best possible solutions to customise the system to our needs. Their technical support has always been rapid and professional. The Femtonics set-up allows us to perform essential in vitro experiments and without reservations would strongly recommend them.”
