| Optoscan Monochromator for Fluorescence Imaging | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The OPTOSCAN M ON OCHROM ATOR from Cairn Research is the only instrument of its type to offer control of both centre wavelength and optical bandwidth with millisecond time resolution. Combined with our signal processing modules and optical hardware it forms the heart of a powerful standalone microphotometry system, but considerable effort has also been applied to making it the ideal illumination source for Fluorescence Imaging. At Cairn we see ourselves predominately as hardware designers and system integrators so we have chosen not to develop our own imaging software and have instead sought to ensure compatibility with the excellent range of applications available on the market. Optoscan control is currently implemented in a wide range of commercial packages including Andor IQ, UIC MetaFluor/ Morph, Simple PCI, RSI Neuroplex, Indec WorkBench, Image Pro, III and IP Lab (under development). If your chosen application is not included in this list then please let us know as our comprehensive SDK means that support can usually be added within a few days. Because we are system integrators as well as hardware manufacturers we are able to provide turnkey solutions based on some of the applications above, and have sufficient knowledge of all of them to fully support the integration of our hardware with any appropriate software. To summarise, if your application requires fast, flexible and automated illumination control then the Cairn Optoscan may well be the instrument of choice.

| Why use the Optoscan for Fluorescence Imaging? Dynamic bandpass control, using galvanometers for response times of <2msecs, makes the Optoscan ideal for multi-dye experiments and spectral scans. We are approved system integrators ourselves and so can offer a high level of technical support. Modular design means that the light source can be used independently if required and also aids maintenance and trouble-shooting. Extensive range of complimentary hardware including rotary filter changers, emission image splitters, modular image intensifiers, flash photolysis lamps, patch clamps. Range of control options to suit researcher's requirements and budget. Highly optimised system produces intense output over a broad spectral range. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
