System

Bergamo® II Series Multiphoton Microscopy Platform

Following the principle that the microscope should conform to the specimen, rather than the other way around, we created a completely modular multiphoton imaging platform that adapts to a wide range of experimental requirements. Our multiphoton imaging systems enable simultaneous readout and manipulation of neuron populations at higher speed, greater depth, and higher intensity than with traditional research techniques, such as using microelectrodes. As shown in the Options at a Glance section below and in the Five-Axis Movement of Rotating Bergamo Microscopes video to the lower right, we have developed a rotating body, which allows the microscope to rotate around the sample. We also offer a selection of rigid bodies, which feature an industry-leading 7.74" throat depth for a large three-dimensional working volume around the objective.

The features of Bergamo II listed in the Highlights, Features, and Modules tabs reflect our focus on developing cutting-edge capabilities without compromising usability. Detailed summaries of all the recommended applications for the Bergamo microscope can be found in the Applications tab. To get users started on designing their own microscope, we provide the Configurations tab, which lists a number of example configurations with key features and suggested applications. This platform can be easily modified or upgraded as experimental needs evolve; see the available add-ons and upgrades in the Retrofits tab. 

Bergamo imaging systems have been used to capture impressive sample images (see the Image Gallery tab) and have been featured in numerous publications (see the Publications tab). As shown in the Innovation through Collaboration video to the lower right, the Thorlabs Life Sciences division partnered with Dr. Michael Hausser's research group at the University College London to design a custom Bergamo microscope system to suit their needs.
