Imaging and Illumination Subsystems Brochure

How can you avoid the uncertainties of off-the-shelf components that may not be characterized sufficiently to define your system’s optical path? Download our Imaging & Illumination Brochure to explore optical systems designed to balance performance and cost.

Custom Microscope Objective Data Sheet

Finding it difficult to select the appropriate microscope objective for your application? Observing imaging errors at the edges of your field of view or intolerable chromatic aberration? Can’t precisely quantify or model the performance of available off-the-shelf objectives? Stop compromising! We are happy to work with you to provide a cost-competitive custom microscope objective solution that is ideally suited to your specific application.

Practical Aspects of Mirror Usage in Optical Systems for Biology

“Why are there so many varieties of mirrors?” “How do I know which mirror to use for my specific purpose?” This paper seeks to answer those questions by providing practical, useful information on the specific topic of the now ubiquitous flat dielectric mirror. It also outlines some of the key design considerations and specifications one should consider when selecting the appropriate flat mirror for an optical system used in biology.

Lighting Every Corner

Many fluorescence-based instruments need to analyze or image large areas quickly — from flow cells and multi-well plates, to the entire field of view of a microscope. Explore our ideal solution for an illumination source that provides the needed intensity over a sufficiently large field of view to reduce scanning: our Wide Field Illumination Module. It’s capable of delivering uniform, high-intensity output over a large field of view at multiple wavelengths.
