The X-Cite® exacte employs a DC-powered mercury lamp coupled with patented Closed-Loop Feedback technology to provide ultra-stable illumination, for imaging protocols lasting from milliseconds to days. With the X-Cite® Optical Power Measurement System, light output can also be calibrated in absolute power units (watts), ensuring truly repeatable experiments. Features of the X-Cite® exacte: Lamp: 200W, Pre-aligned, Intelli-L…
Triple EmissionThe TripleSplit 3-way image splitter from Cairn Research is a simple device for dividing an image into either one, two or three separate, spatially equivalent components which can be displayed side by side on a single camera chip. Download data sheet Splitting is usually performed on the basis of wavelength or polarisation, allowing applications where there is a requirement for simultaneous, or high speed, acqui…
Our New LED Based Flash Photolysis SystemThe Cairn Optoflash is the latest member of the Cairn OptoLED family. It uses our established LED head and microscope coupling designs, but is optimised for short-term intense illumination. This makes it particularly suitable for the photoactivation of “caged” neurotransmitter or other compounds, and for the important emerging application of channel rhodopsin activation. The maximum cur…
Ultra Stable and Instantaneous Wavelength Switching Recent developments in Light Emitting Diode [LED] technology have yielded devices that are both brighter and capable of operating at more different wavelengths than their predecessors. The high stability and absence of harmful ultraviolet and infrared radiation makes them an ideal choice for fluorescence and transmitted light microscopy. In common with our OptoLED, the Lite v…
Our flexible LaserBank system will launch up to five laser lines into up to five different single-mode fibres. This system can be configured with new lasers or, in most cases, with existing solid state lasers. Please contact us for details of your requirements. The flexible architecture allows lasers to be mounted for TIRF, FRAP, photolysis, confocal or widefield imaging. It provides analogue intensity control and digital swit…
Adjustable field mask for region selection For many years we have offered a movable variable rectangular field stop. This was initially designed to mask a region of interest within the field of view of a microscope in order to make localised intensity measurements with a photomultiplier. Subsequent evolutions of the device have formed an integral part of our OptoSplit image splitters to mask a region to be projected to both ha…
LumiScope for the detection of bioluminescence from aequorin and other luminescence probes.
The TIRF technique is a special kind of wide-field fluorescence technique for measuring cellsor SMC in an evanescent field without haze. By total reflection of the exciting light (typicallylaser) at the coverslip / medium interface, the fluorescence excitation is limited to a very thin space in the vicinity of the glass surface. The resulting fluorescence images exhibit extremely high contrast and resolution with the possibili…
