Ultra-Low Light Level Imaging Solutions from Andor

Simultaneous illumination of multiple regions of interest in real time and with zero delta acquisition time. Built around MEMS Digital Mirror Devices (DMD), Mosaic is a patented instrument for targeted illumination for microscopy. High speed frame switching (5,000 fps) makes Mosaic suitable for many dynamic applications including optogenetics, bleaching, uncaging, photo-switching and constrained illumination.Mosaic exploits DMD in a proprietary programmable platform, integrated with scientific light sources including lasers, LEDs and arc lamps, and operates from 360 to 800 nm. It is offered with a range of high performance microscope adapter optics and can be integrated with CLSM, spinning disk and wide field imaging modalities.The on-board memory allows for sequences of masks to be defined and executed with Hard Real-Time accuracy under software control or following external Trigger signals for complete experimental flexibility.Mosaic Digital Illumination System Features: Supports a range of light sources such as LED, laser and Arc to match a wide range of techniques from optogenetics to photobleaching. Unlimited flexibility in shape, size and complexity of illumination mask. Simultaneous illumination of multiple regions of interest. Precise diffraction limited illumination of areas of interest that protects target specimen and fluorophore. Zero delta acquisition time for true digital excitation/illumination of all regions of interest. On-board mask storage for high speed sequencing ideal for high speed physiological studies (e.g. electro/ optophysiology). Software independent triggering for use with independent hardware (e.g. electrophysiology). Greyscale functionality for light-source independent, region-specific illumination intensity control. Long lifetime and low maintenance with rugged semiconductor device.
