Visitron TIRF system

The VisiTIRF Fluorescence Imaging System from Visitron Systems is the ideal solution for the analysis of finest structures or surfaces. The flexibility of the VisiTIRF system and the use of scientific digital CCD camera systems with optimal resolution, speed and sensitivity allows for the adaptation of customized application and configuration. For fluorescence illumination Visitron use solid state lasers or laser diodes . The coupling of the laser into the microscope is achieved by a flexible optical fibre. Visitron use a special self developed VisiTIRF condenser which allows for an easy adjustment of the laser beam to the correct illumination angle in the high aperture of the TIRF objective. A second optical fibre input allows for the combination of TIRF and epi fluorescence without moving any parts of the condenser. For epi fluorescence illumination Visitron offer a standard HBO / HXP lamp or the Visitron VisiChrome polychromator system
