InSight X3+ and InSight X3

InSight X3+ and InSight X3

Product catalog summary
Overview: The InSight X3+ and InSight X3 are advanced ultrafast lasers designed for multiphoton imaging, built on the Spectra-Physics InSight platform. The X3+ model offers 50% more power across its tuning range, enhancing capabilities for deeper imaging and complex experiments.
Specifications: Both models feature a broad tuning range from 680 nm to 1300 nm, with the X3+ providing higher power at longer wavelengths (1280–1300 nm). They offer dual output at 1045 nm and are equipped with the DeepSee dispersion pre-compensation module for optimal pulse delivery.
Applications: These lasers are suitable for multiphoton microscopy, two-photon excited fluorescence, multimodal imaging (including CARS and SRS), optogenetics, non-linear spectroscopy, and more. They are particularly effective for exciting common fluorophores like GFP and RFP.
Performance: The InSight X3+ and X3 provide high power across the tuning range, with the X3+ achieving >3.0 W at 900 nm and >1.5 W at 1300 nm. They maintain a pulse width of <120 fs and exhibit low noise levels (<0.5%).
Environmental and Electrical Requirements: The lasers operate optimally at temperatures between 20–25°C with a maximum relative humidity of 75%. They require a power supply of 100–240 V and consume less than 1500 W.
Safety and Compliance: Classified as Class IV high-power lasers, they pose safety and fire hazards, necessitating precautions against direct and reflected beam exposure. The systems are ISO 9001 certified.

InSight X3+ and InSight X3-1

InSight X3+ and InSight X3 Widely Tunable Ultrafast Lasers For Multiphoton Imaging The InSight® X3+™ and InSight X3™ are built on Spectra-Physics’ industry leading InSight platform designed for maximum performance and reliability. The InSight X3+ delivers 50% greater power across the tuning range for deeper imaging and more complex experiments. The InSight X3+ and InSight X3 lasers are built on the proven InSight platform with hundreds of peer-reviewed publications, the largest installed base in the market, and demonstrated high reliability. The InSight platform is specifically designed for advanced multiphoton microscopy in neuroscience, immunology, and other biological sciences. Based on patented technology1, InSight features a broad 680 nm to 1300 nm continuous, gap free, tuning curve from a single beam with nearly double the tuning range of legacy Ti:Sapphire lasers. The InSight is designed with the peak of the tuning curve centered in the 900 to 1100 nm region to excite the most common green and red fluorophores including GFP, RFP, GCaMP, jRGECO, and mCherry. The InSight X3+ additionally provides the highest powers at the longest wavelengths of 1280–1300 nm for excitation of far red fluorophores such as Alexa-680. The InSight Advantage • High power across entire tuning range with the industry’s highest power at the multiphoton imaging wavelengths between 900 and 1300 nm • Field proven with the largest installed base in the market, hundreds of peer-reviewed publications and demonstrated high reliability • Broad tuning range (680–1300 nm) for maximum flexibility • Dual output at 1045 nm with optional pre-compensation for simultaneous two color excitation • Short pulse width and highest peak power for maximum fluorescence • Integrated DeepSee dispersion pre-compensation to deliver short pulses to the sample • Ideal beam characteristics optimized for multiphoton imaging Applications • Multiphoton microscopy • Two-Photon Excited Fluorescence (TPEF) • Multimodal imaging - Coherent anti-stokes Raman Spectroscopy (CARS) - Stimulated Raman spectroscopy (SRS) - Second harmonic generation (SHG) - Third harmonic generation (THG) • Optogenetics • Non-linear spectroscopy • Time-resolved photoluminescence • Optical computed tomography • Terahe
