Our Partner: 89 North
Optical Engineering Specialists
89 North is our partner company, where we marry our optical engineering expertise within larger optoelectrical manufactured platforms. 89 North brings its award-winning expertise in two areas:
Laser Diode Illuminators
A Spectrum of Choices:
89 North's Laser Diode Illuminators (LDIs) offer a breadth of multiline, solid-state laser light engines that facilitate research in the world's most advanced biosciences labs. Our LDIs power up to 1000mW of output per laser line via a multimode fiber -- all at the price of a low-power LED light engine. With feedback-controlled output stability and up to a 100:1 linear dynamic range, the LDI is the ideal light source for quantitative imaging, ratiometric imaging, and more repeatable optogenetics experiments. Plus, there is no need for user alignment, and the units are easy to use and maintain.
Applications:
Spinning Disk Confocal Microscopy
Super Resolution SIM Imaging
PALM/STORM
Optogenetics with DLPs or Multiport Illuminator
Photoactivation/Photoconversion/FRAP
FRAP with SLM or Multiport Illuminator
Spatial Biology
Commercial Applications
Our core mission is to bridge the gap between groundbreaking life science research and tangible, real-world applications. We leverage our expertise to transform discoveries into practical solutions that advance physical and life science knowledge. We empower the life sciences community through innovation and collaboration to drive progress in medicine, biotechnology, and beyond.
Bioanalytical Device Manufacturing
89 North understands there is more to an optics system than just shining a light. We optimize every aspect of the design with the objectives of simplicity, cost-effectiveness, efficiency, and elegance.Industrial Inspection
89 North is as comfortable building a multi-wavelength laser controller as we are designing the optics for flat-field illumination: We welcome the challenge.Photonics & Imaging
89 North optimizes the excitation and emission pathways, reduces the noise, and maximizes the signal-getting every photon that counts to the detector.Technical Collaboration Process
Elegance in simplicity. We understand complexity but seek the best, most straightforward, cost-effective solution to your industrial inspection needs.
