Optosplit II Image Splitter - CAIRN RESEARCH - #1

Text version of the page

OptoSplit II Image splitter The Optosplit II image splitter from Cairn Research is a simple and elegant device for dividing an image into two separate, spatially equivalent, components that can be displayed side by side on a single camera chip Splitting is usually performed on the basis of wavelength, allowing applications such as ratiometric calcium imaging or FRET, however, polarising beamsplitters are also supported. The two images can be captured simultaneously offering a major benefit over manual or electronic filter changers. A rectangular aperture is used to define the region to be imaged, with a set of simple controls allowing the user to vary the relative positions of the two output images on the camera. The Cairn Optosplit II can significantly widen the scope of any fluorescence imaging system. Applications Fluorescence microscopy Brightfield and phase contrast Differential Interference Contrast Automated live cell recording Calcium imaging Key Benefits Dichroic mirror and emission filters mounted in readily interchangeable cube Unity magnification fitted as standard, other options are available Simple intuitive alignment in x, y, and focal planes Interchangeable mount for N.D. filter or chromatic correction lenses Bypass mode to allow single wavelength imaging using either pathway C Mount coupling to microscope or camera lens
