The Optical Prototyping Facility hosts a high-power tunable pulsed IR laser (Spectra-Physics Insight X3) on a large (4’x8’) vibration isolation table along with a wealth of optical and optomechanical components. The mission of the facility is to allow graduate students and postdocs to prototype novel (microscopy) optics before committing significant resources from their home lab toward purchasing equipment.

Currently, the OPF hosts a two-photon microscope with a 3D tracker for calcium imaging in freely swimming zebrafish, which we are developing with the Prober Lab. But the table is large, and we can absolutely make space for your project as well.
