Specifications
Instrument notes
- Unique scanhead allows attachment to the imaging port of any microscope, upright or inverted
- Technology leader Yokogawa of Japan has created the first twin-disk microlens array that reveals molecular resolution of subcellular dynamics in real time
- Dual Sutter Lambda 10-2 microprocessor-controlled high speed filter wheels provide 10 apertures for complete control of excitation and emission wavelengths under Metamorph software
- Facillitated study of complex cellular processes using fluorescent staining or labeling of proteins, ions and lipids in living cells
- 20,000 pinhole apertures in a multi-lens enhanced Nipkow disk
- Instantaneous image capture at full aperture illumination
- Motorized or piezo Z-axis control accessories available for reduced phototoxicity and photobleaching
- Ultra-fast, automated wavelength control can be addressed using the filter wheels shown here for single lasers, or through an acousto-optical tunable filter and multiple laser platforms
- Compatible with Argon (Ar), Argon-Krypton (Ar-Kr), Helium-Neon (He-Ne) and solid state lasers at 406, 442, 457, 473, 476, 488, 514, 520, 530, 532, 568, 633 and 647 nanometers through easy pre-aligned fiber optic coupler interface
- Sensitive Perkin-Elmer UltraPix FSI cooled-CCD cameras available, using either Kodak KAI0311-1 or Sony ICX085AL imaging chipsets, or optional Hamamatsu ORCA series cameras
