Multiphoton laser Coherent Vision II with GDP
The LCI core facility is selling a tunable, automated Ti:Sapphire femtosecond pulsed laser. This is a Coherent Chameleon Vision II laser with dispersion pre-compensation.
It is used for two-photon excitation and second harmonic generation in light microscopy. The tuning range is 680-1080 nm. The laser comes with MRU, power supply and chiller.
Note: we are only selling the laser, there is no microscope.
The current price of an equivalent laser is according to Coherent 163,000 US$. Additionally, the chiller costs 3000-5000 US$ new.
The laser was purchased in November 2012 but has been used very little since. It has been serviced every year by the Coherent sales representatives in Sweden until 2021. It has been tested last in November 2023 and was working as expected. The last service visit (2021) showed an output power up to specifications (over 3W at 800 nm which is the peak power). A few of the buttons on the front panel are a bit stiff but they always work after being pressed a couple of times. There are no other known fault.
The chiller was changed in 2020 (43,000 sek).
Coherent estimated the second hand market price to 35-50,000€. Our price (laser, chiller and all tubes to guide the laser): 200,000 sek.
