FISBA products

Imaging Optics

We have extensive expertise in opto-mechanical design. This way, we deliver lenses and optical systems manufactured to customer specifications with impressive results of the highest quality.

We develop high-performing optical systems based on sophisticated polishing and coating processes. They are diffraction-limited and adjusted precisely to your requirements. Our laser diode focusing and laser beam shaping systems are the interplay between optical and mechanical design, with F-Theta lenses and scan and zoom systems. Your challenge is our challenge. We look forward to tackling it together.

Micro Laser Modules

Our laser modules are the result of decades of experience in dealing with micro-optical and mechanical systems. Whether fiber-coupled or free space propagation, whether for applications in life sciences or in industry, FISBA has the right light source.

Life Sciences

Microscopy Optics

Optical microscopy has been a foundational instrument platform for understanding biological life since the pioneering cell imaging work conducted by Robert Hooke in the 17th century. It has grown from a primary research tool based on standard platform architectures and evolved into a highly specialized piece of equipment. It is ubiquitous across life science research, from DNA-sequencing to super-resolution imaging of proteins inside cells and used by drug developers to explore and understand the function and behavior of biomolecules and edits cells as they screen for new pharmaceutical drugs by imaging and analyzing.

Spatial Sequencing

Recent advances in biotechnology and sub-cellular imaging instrumentation have led to discoveries in fundamental life science biology and aided new developments in precision medicine. With the combination of fluorescence-based DNA-sequencing and super-resolution microscopy, it is now possible to image the location of individual biomolecules (e.g., proteins, mRNA) and understand how they behave and interact in the cellular environment with sub-100 nm resolution. This new technology frontier in life science research is known as Spatial Sequencing or Spatial Omics. By adding spatial resolution to the molecular information (gene profiling), this technology platform creates an unparalleled understanding of the relationship between an individual cell’s genomic (transcriptomic) profile, cellular morphology, and interaction with the local environment.

Industrial

Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is a process that creates three-dimensional objects by precisely layering materials based on a digital computer-aided design (CAD) model. A 3D printer uses the digital instructions to layer material, eventually generating a new 3D object. Several different modalities for 3D printing are available, with one of the most notable being powder bed fusion for metal AM. In this approach, high-power laser beams are tightly focused and scanned at high rates to melt small (30-50 um diameter) particles to create fully dense metal alloy parts that can range from a few millimeters to 1 meter in size.
