Uses

Laser profile scanners from the scanCONTROL series are equipped with GRINTECH laser lines. The scanners are used for profile and 3D measurements on the production line. The high-quality optical components enable a stable measurement signal – the basis for precise measurements.

The Multipoint Vibrometer MPV-800 from Polytec records vibrations with time and frequency resolution for the first time without contact and synchronously in up to 48 channels. The fiber heads used for this purpose are largely manufactured by GRINTECH.

GRIN lenses are indispensable tools in neuroscience, providing high-resolution, minimally invasive imaging of neurons deep in the brains of living animals. Their special optical design allows researchers to study brain function and neural circuits with unprecedented clarity, providing valuable insights into brain activity and behavior. The collaboration between two industry leaders – GRINTECH and Inscopix – has further expanded the potential of GRIN lenses in neuroscience. Inscopix, the leading developer of all-optical miniscope platforms for real-time imaging of freely behaving animals, is bringing cutting-edge innovations to the market. By integrating GRIN lens and systems into Inscopix miniscopes, researchers can now capture brain activity during natural behaviors at cellular resolution, enabling major discoveries in brain science and neurological research.

Immediate and high-resolution endomicroscopic imaging diagnostics of tumor tissue (so-called optical biopsy) during endoscopy of patients would be a major advance in the rapid and reliable detection of cancers, so that tissue removal for conventional pathological examination can be carried out much more precisely or may later become superfluous. The high-resolution and reliable detection of tumor margins during the surgical removal of tumors also significantly improves the risk of recurrence while minimizing the loss of function. GRINTECH has been researching and developing customized optics and endomicroscopy devices for marker-free non-linear endomicroscopy with partners for many years, e.g. with the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology.

GRINTECH is a partner for the development and manufacture of miniature fiber optic detection modules for optical analysis, e.g. using Raman or fluorescence spectroscopy. Such modules are used, for example, in pharmaceutical spectroscopy, multi-gas sensor technology or the analysis of body fluids.
