Description

Spectral Confocal Module equipped with a high sensitivity multiband detection system (spectral detection system) and acousto-optical beam splitter (AOBS).

• 4 detectors by reflection and fluorescence, with tunable bandwidth and central wavelength continuously and independently for each channel. Spectral resolution: 5 nm.
• 1 detector for transmitted light to obtain clear field images (phase contrast, interferential contrast).
• Maximum resolution 4.096x4096 pixels with dynamic range of 12 bits per channel.
• Scanning system enabling a scanning speed of up to 2,000 lines per second.
• Scanning technology that enables switching the excitation wavelength line by line.
• Attainment of 7D multidimensional series: x,y,z,t,a,l,i (image area, height, time, rotation, wavelength, intensity).
• Panning of regions of interest selected by user.
• Adjustable pupil illumination.
• Software and control panel with 7 digital potentiometers.
