Filter Set suits systems using multiple laser excitation

March 30, 2009 - Dual-band fluorescence filter set is optimized for microscopes/imaging systems using multiple laser excitation, enabling simultaneous excitation of 488 and 561 nm lasers. Hard-coated set offers steep transitions from laser blocking to fluorescence transmission, greater than 93% transmission, and blocking of OD of greater than 6 at laser wavelengths to minimize noise background resulting from residual excitation light. It is designed for TIRF systems and confocal microscopes.

Phast Fiber Adapter

SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 31, 2009–Phrontier Technologies LLC has introduced the Phast fiber adapter for Camera Link base, medium and full interface cameras. It supports demanding 10 tap × 8-bit configurations at up to 85 MHz.
It offers a bandwidth of 670 MB/s and plugs directly into cameras and frame grabbers without the need for Camera Link cables, saving space and expense. The adapter sends high-speed real-time image data at a distance of up to 250 m over duplex fiber cables and operates from a single 5-to 24-VDC power supply.
The company’s Phire-S is a fiber optic adapter for the Camera Link base configuration. It uses only one fiber for bi-directional data transmission and extends the industrial camera signals for up to 10 km. It is supplied with an SC or LC simplex connector and a choice of single- or multimode fiber. Also plugging directly into cameras and frame grabbers, without the need for electrical Camera Link cables, it offers a bandwidth of up to 2.5 Gb/s for 24-bit image data at 85 MHz.
