DV2 Two-Channel, Simultaneous-Imaging System

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Photometrics DV2™ is a high-performance dual-channel simultaneous-imaging system designed for life sciences applications. It utilizes a single-beamsplitter design to split emission light from a microscope into two independent channels, essential for FRET and other emission ratiometric applications.
Features:
  • Simultaneous acquisition of two emission channels.
  • Emission separation by wavelength, polarization, or amplitude.
  • Easy mounting on most microscopes with improved adjustment controls for image alignment.
  • Redesigned aperture adjustments for parallel apertures.
  • Standard 25-mm-diameter emission and polarization filters.
  • Bypass mode for full-field imaging without hassle.
  • Exchangeable filter cube for multiple applications with minimal realignment.
  • Integrated, adjustable CCD mask to minimize ghosting.
  • Compatibility with many Photometrics® and QImaging® cameras.
Applications:
  • Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) imaging.
  • Polarized FRET analysis.
  • Calcium imaging with fluo-3/Fura Red™ or dual-emission indo-1 imaging.
  • Fluorescence polarization/anisotropy imaging.
  • Simultaneous fluorescence/DIC imaging.
  • Drug discovery with Cy3/Cy5.
  • Single-molecule fluorescence (SMF) imaging.
  • pH imaging with SNARF.
  • Multiwavelength total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) imaging.
  • Voltage sensing with di-4-ANEPPS.
  • Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) imaging.
  • cAMP imaging with FICRhR.
  • Multichannel confocal microscopy with a spinning-disk confocal.
Specifications:
  • Wavelength sensitivity: 400 to 750 nm.
  • Efficiency per image: 88 to 92%.
  • Operation temperature: 10 to 37˚C.
  • Detector attachment: C-mount (male).
  • Front attachment: C-mount (female).
  • External mounting option: ¼-20 tapped hole on the back of the unit.
  • Dimensions: 6.5” at widest point x 8.5” height.
  • Weight: 4.8 lbs.
  • Filters: Emission/barrier, neutral density, polarization; 1” max diameter; 0.39” max thickness.
  • Patents: USA: 5,926,283 and 5,982,497; Australia: 731,476; Canada: 2,294,840; other foreign patents pending.
