Brillouin microscope

The Discovererâ„¢ Brillouin Microscope is an advanced, non-invasive optical spectroscopy system designed to measure mechanical properties of biological samples in three dimensions without physical contact. It combines modern Brillouin spectroscopy with seamless integration into Nikon spinning disk microscope for multimodal imaging in live cells, tissues, organoids, and small organisms.
