4 Technical summary
The Optosplit uses a conventional dichroic mirror to separate the light into two différent spectral bands. This selection of wavelength is usually augmented by the use of bandpass filters (as shown in the schematic below.)

The design is loosely based on technology described by Kinosita et al. (J.CellB/ol.(1991) 115, 67-73), but includes several proprietary features, most notably:
• Rotating mirror cradle to give precise symmetrical control of the degree of separation whilst maintaining identical path lengths.
• A half-size fully silvered mirror at the output port for recombining the images.
• Fine adjustment controls for camera focus and vertical alignment.
• Optional ROI definition using adjustable rectangular aperture or iris diaphragm.
The system is supplied with high grade AR coated achromatic doublet lenses and dielectrically coated mirrors for maximum throughput.
