The Cobra 1600 offers superior imaging depth and enhanced image contrast for highly scattering samples. Visualizing deep structures can be limited in penetration depth and contrast, particularly for samples with high scattering power and low water content, such as lipid-rich tissue, dental structures, and even paints and rubber.
As the first off-the-shelf 1600 nm OCT spectrometer, the Cobra 1600 gives you access to an optical window with enhanced depth penetration and high contrast with high axial resolution, and it is compatible with readily available fiber-optic components. Our proprietary high-throughput design offers the sensitivity and speed needed for 3D deep-tissue imaging to study the hippocampal formation and characterize atherosclerotic plaques, or for non-destructive testing.

The Cobra 1600 OCT spectrometer offers superior roll-off performance, as can be seen in this comparison of signal with imaging depth.Â
Compatible with Wasatch Photonics’ SDKs for rapid data access in development environments (e.g., C++, LabVIEW, MATLAB).
