Since our founding near Madison, Wisconsin in 1995, Prairie Technologies has designed and manufactured specialized products for various forms of laser microscopy. Over the years, our collaboration with renowned scientists from all over the world, has led us to continually expand, redefine and customize our product line to better serve their needs.
Prairie Technologies has established itself as a technology leader in two-photon microscopy, being the first company to provide the first commercial system designed for simultaneous imaging and uncaging, using two lasers. Prairie pioneered the Swept Field Confocal which brings both high spatial resolution and high temporal resolution together into a single compact confocal scanner.
We offer products such as two photon microscopes, confocal microscopes, upgrades to older third-party confocal microscopes, UV photolysis systems and laser launches with AOTF and optical fiber outputs. In addition, we provide factory direct service and support to our customers for all Prairie products. Our goal is always to provide our customers with quality products and outstanding service.
