Universal Fiber Coupling Solution

Connect any of our steady state and hybrid fluorometers to virtually any upright or inverted microscope!

HORIBA Scientific’s con­focal, universal fiber coupling solution allows any of our steady state and hybrid fluorometers to be easily connect­ed to virtually any upright or inverted microscope. Spectrofluorometric capabilities include the unparalleled precision and sensitivity of Single-Photon Counting and the speed and sensitivity of CCD detection. Similarly, fluorescence spectral mapping capabilities utilize an automated fast scanning X-Y stage to generate rapid spectral maps with micron level spatial resolution. Of course our microscope solutions preserve the microscope's native optical performance and capabilities. For example, they add no optics to the entire emission optical path. Use the high performance cooled fluorescence camera to image your field of interest. Once you identify a region to spectrally analyze, simply switch your filter cube to a beam splitter or an appropriate dichroic, divert the light to the fluorometer, and you are collecting high resolution spectra. Custom solutions are also available to measure in the UV and NIR regions, beyond the normal range of your microscope.

 

 

Segment: Scientific
Manufacturing Company: HORIBA Scientific

Couple a microscope and:

  • Measure complete spectra of samples as small as 1 μm.
  •  Get spectra from as little as a few molecules of sample.
  •  Perform localized FRET measurements.

Add an automated stage and camera, and:

  • Create complete spatial/spectral maps.
  • Perform repetitive QC characterization of structured samples like photovoltaics.
