Compact scan head for easy assembly into a system OVERVIEW The C10516 scan block is an optical block that combines galvano scanners with a telecentric fθ (F-theta) lens designed for laser beam scanning in the visible range. Coupling the C10516 to other optical blocks allows forming a measurement system for laser scanning fluorescence microscopes, reflecting microscopes, and even confocal microscopes. The 21.5 mm diameter observation area allows making wide-range sample observations. High magnification images can be observed with a photomultiplier tube by attaching the scan block to the C-mount port of a commercially available microscope.
