Dark-Field Brillouin Microscopy with Cobolt Samba

Brillouin microscopy is a powerful, non-invasive technique that lets scientists peer into the mechanical properties of biological tissues using light. But there’s a catch: the signals it relies on are incredibly weak and often drowned out by unwanted reflections and scattered light. Dark-field Brillouin microscopy provides a clever alternative that dramatically improves image clarity.

The study, published in Optics Letters, shows Dr. Antonacci findings as he employs the use of our Cobolt Samba 532 nm laser for the confocal dark-field set-up.
