Specto Photonics has a big ambition: make Brillouin Spectroscopy accessible to everyone
To accomplish this goal, Specto Photonics develops and commercialises the next-generation miniaturised Brillouin spectrometers. This technology enables to optically retrieve viscoelastic properties in the volume of biological organisms with micron-size resolution. Lastek is delighted to be appointed exclusive distributor for Specto Photonics products in Australia and New Zealand.
Unlock the Power of Mechanobiology
Mechanobiology studies the mechanisms by which mechanical forces and viscoelastic properties influence biological processes. Accessibility to mechanical information is essential in biology and medical fields since changes in cellular and tissue viscoelastic properties play a pivotal role in disease development. State-of-the-art technology that measures mechanical properties exhibits limitations imposed by the requirement of physical contact with the sample, making them destructive and not capable to investigate the volume of biological organisms.
The technology
Specto Photonics is devoted to democratize Brillouin spectroscopy. Our proprietary on-chip spectrometers and high-rejection optical filters makes this century-old method finally accessible to everyone! Compared to other elastography methods, Brillouin spectroscopy is:
- All-optical
- Contactless
- Non-Destructive
- Label Free
- High-resolution
- Three dimensional
- Highly accurate
