Description
Splitting is usually performed on the basis of wavelength, allowing applications such as ratiometric calcium imaging or FRET, however, polarising beamsplitters are also supported. The two images can be captured simultaneously offering a major benefit over manual or electronic filter changers. A rectangular aperture is used to define the region to be imaged, with a set of simple controls allowing the user to align the two channels on a variety of camera chip sizes. The Cairn Optosplit II can significantly widen the scope of any fluorescence imaging system.
