P226/0xx/011 - Connector box for dual emission fluorescence

Microscope adapter for photomultipliers and C-mount cameras

An extended version of P225/0x0/011; this housing enables three photodetector devices to view a single output port of a microscope. It couples onto either the Cairn Rectangular Diaphragm, or C-mount input adapter. As with the single emission coupling the input is infinity corrected, and each output forms an image at unity magnification. The outputs are arranged with Typically the box would be set up with two photomultipliers at 90 degrees to a camera.

The connector box requires two dichroic mirrors or beamsplitters to be fitted to activate the side ports, which are normally supplied fitted to interchangeable mirror holders. The use of dichroic mirrors allows different wavelengths of light to be sent to each of the three optical ports. Alternatively the mirors can be fitted to rotatable mounts at either or both mirror positions. This allows the mirrors to be swung completely out of the optical path, allowing all the light to be transmitted to the straight through port, and gives increased flexibility on set-ups which are used in a number of configurations.

If connection of further devices is required we can couple combinations of this and the single emission connector to achieve almost any configuration required.
