P115/CLA/000 - Cairn Opto Flash Photolysis System

Flash Controller unit with Optosource lamp house & igniter


This is our revised flash lamp system, based around our Optosource lamphouse with the lamp mounted vertically. The system includes both the Flash System Controller, P115/PSU/000 and the lamphouse itself. It is normally used with our single wavelength optical adapter P125/xxx/025 and a liquid light guide to inject the broad spectrum xenon flash into a microscope epifluoresence coupling. The lamphouse contains a large ellipsoidal mirror, which focuses light via the optical adapter onto the end of the light guide. This system has an improved light collection over the classic lamp with an aperture of f#2. For combining flash photolysis with continuous illumination we have a dual light guide coupling which fits our standard range of microscope adapters.
