Fibre Optic Probe System
The probe system has been designed for applications where fluorescence measurements are to be made from a small area of the field of view. The probe mount replaces the standard photomultiplier tube on the single emission coupling box and places the inputs of fibre optic light guides at the primary image plane. These inputs can be moved within the field of view to the point of interest, their precise location in the microscope field of view being identified by means of reverse infra-red illumination of the guides, which is visible on the CCD camera image. The outputs of the fibre optic guides are fed to individual photomultiplier tubes for acquisition of the fluorescence signal.
