Life Sciences & Microscopy

Life sciences focus on understanding the structures and processes that govern living organisms, from individual cells to entire ecosystems. Lasers play a crucial role in this field, particularly in microscopy, by enabling high-resolution imaging techniques like multiphoton microscopy. Laser-based methods allow researchers to visualize cellular structures with sub-micrometer precision, penetrate deeper into tissues with minimal damage, and observe dynamic biological processes in real time.
