FireFLY

FireFLY laser illumination systems are our most compact, versatile, short-pulsed laser light sources designed for high-speed, bright-event and light-sheet illumination imaging applications. With a simple interface enabling them to be synchronised with high-speed cameras, the FireFLY series is offered in two different models; the 500-S (500W Standard model), and the 500-LS (500W Light Sheet model). Both models provide powerful, short-pulsed laser illumination for high-performance imaging applications.

What’s the Advantage of the FireFLY?

Oxford Lasers’ FireFLY systems are compact, easy to use with multiple accessories providing short-pulsed, powerful laser light sources that illuminate on a single wavelength (808nm) allowing for precision imaging of bright and fast-paced events. A laser-based light source is key to capturing detailed images. The intensity of the FireFLYs’ single wavelength, laser illumination makes them ideal for seeing through events that are already bright, such as welding. The speed and precision of the FireFLY500-LS laser light source has been developed to enable imaging with light-sheet laser illumination for flow visualisation, fluid mechanics and bio-locomotion imaging. These types of events struggle to be imaged with standard techniques leaving them unable to be viewed, understood and improved. Oxford Lasers offers a solution by enabling high-quality imaging with laser illumination.
