Our New LED Based Flash Photolysis SystemThe Cairn Optoflash is the latest member of the Cairn OptoLED family. It uses our established LED head and microscope coupling designs, but is optimised for short-term intense illumination. This makes it particularly suitable for the photoactivation of “caged” neurotransmitter or other compounds, and for the important emerging application of channel rhodopsin activation. The maximum cur…
Ultra Stable and Instantaneous Wavelength Switching Recent developments in Light Emitting Diode [LED] technology have yielded devices that are both brighter and capable of operating at more different wavelengths than their predecessors. The high stability and absence of harmful ultraviolet and infrared radiation makes them an ideal choice for fluorescence and transmitted light microscopy. In common with our OptoLED, the Lite v…
Our flexible LaserBank system will launch up to five laser lines into up to five different single-mode fibres. This system can be configured with new lasers or, in most cases, with existing solid state lasers. Please contact us for details of your requirements. The flexible architecture allows lasers to be mounted for TIRF, FRAP, photolysis, confocal or widefield imaging. It provides analogue intensity control and digital swit…
Adjustable field mask for region selection For many years we have offered a movable variable rectangular field stop. This was initially designed to mask a region of interest within the field of view of a microscope in order to make localised intensity measurements with a photomultiplier. Subsequent evolutions of the device have formed an integral part of our OptoSplit image splitters to mask a region to be projected to both ha…
LumiScope for the detection of bioluminescence from aequorin and other luminescence probes.
The PatchPro systems are fully integrated patch clamping solutions that work in conjunction with fixed stage nosepiece focussing scopes from Olympus, Zeiss, Nikon and Leica. They allow the user to control manipulators, microscope platforms, microscope focus and temperature control all from one neat, simple user console. With the versatility to freely combine numerous individual devices, the PatchPro systems will be perfect for…
The Lambda 10-2 is a microprocessor controlled, high speed filter wheel. Its impressive speed coupled with exceptionally smooth operation make the Lambda 10-2 ideal for research applications involving fluorescence microscopy, ratio imaging, spectrophotometry, visual physiology, or any application requiring rapid and accurate aperture positioning.The Lambda 10-2 controller which has both serial and parallel interfaces will driv…
Vivo™ is a research microscopy imaging system ideal for intravital imaging and electrophysiology. Designed for the visualization of metabolic processes in live cells, Vivo™ facilitates quantitative measurement of dynamic processes in a light-starved environment. 3i’s SlideBook™ software takes full advantage of the system's automation by seamlessly integrating components, including x-,y- and z-stage motion, filter control and l…
