The λ2-Image Splitter is a dual-channel image splitting optical device for fluorescence microscopy, designed to simultaneously capture images of two different channels (e.g., wavelengths) on a single camera sensor. This solution removes the complexity and need for using multiple cameras and circumvents the low temporal resolution issues associated with sequential imaging.
The λ2 is engineered for precision and ease of use, ensuring maximum comfort for daily users. Its setup and alignment can be completed in just a few minutes, and its intuitive operation simplifies the workflow.
Features:
✓ Image Splitting and Bypass for full chip imaging ✓ Setup and alignment in just a few minutes ✓ Tool-free setup and daily use ✓ User-friendly and intuitive handling ✓ High quality components and materials ✓ Minimal distortion due to central passing through optical elements ✓ True spatial separation and separate lenses for each channel ✓ Corrects chromatic aberration ✓ Offers the possibility for off-focus imaging (3D information) ✓ Quick-release camera mount ✓ Easy and fast way to mount camera ✓ Camera weight supported by solid aluminum body ✓ Space-saving camera mounting ✓ Change between cameras (e.g., EMCCD to (s)CMOS) ✓ Free rotation of camera chip for high-speed acquisition
