These filters have very high wavelength specificity. If you are not familiar with the specifications of interference filters, you can read our tutorial . Back to Top of Page Illumination Sources We offer two different illumination sources. Both sources use a xenon arc lamp and a filter wheel for wavelength selection. The filter wheels are easy to balance, making high speed and vibration free operation possible, and are easy to replace.
Light output is via a quartz light guide.
These sources are ideal for high speed multicolor illumination. Either illuminator can also be used with a chopper wheel to provide a chopped, single wavelength or broad-band light source. The light guide interfaces either directly to a Cuvette Module or your fluorescence microscope using a microscope input accessory. The Model S48D is a computer controlled illumination source. The controller interacts with the Illumination Source through software residing on your personal computer.
