ANDOR an Oxford Instruments company Specifications Summary Andor TuCam - High Performance, Two Camera Imaging Adapter Andor’s TuCam is a new generation two-camera adapter for macro or microscopic imaging applications. Available in C- or CSU-X-mount, TuCam features include large aperture, exceptional transmission, very low distortion and high precision alignment using kinematic cassettes. TuCam can be configured for simultaneous imaging from two similar cameras or as a switch between camera models with different imaging capabilities. A full range of beam splitting optics are available with custom-designed kinematic cassettes for precision alignment. These include wavelength and polarization splitters of the highest quality as well as a first surface mirror for switching between cameras. A variety of camera tubes and lenses is available to provide magnifications of 1.0x, 1.2x, 1.5x and 2.0x indepently for each arm of the adapter. A filter wheel can also be integrated at the input of TuCam to enable pre-filtering of the desired emission band. Wavelength range Application Guide s Real time multi color imaging s Co-localization s Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) s Ratiometric imaging s Super resolution s Anisotropy imaging (inc. homo-FRET) Features and Benefits • Largest aperture Unique 22 mm aperture for large format sensors e.g. Neo and Zyla sCMOS • High quality achromatic lenses Image from 425 - 700 nm with minimal adjustment • Highest transmission > 96% @ 425 - 700 nm • Very low distortion < 0.5% • Bypass mode Dovetail mount for precise insertion, exchange and bypass of optical elements • Robust, compact and accurate Rigid structure provides optical and mechanical stability • Convenient user adjustment User-controls for focus adjustment and 2-axis cassette alignment are accessed via the front porch • C-mount and CSU versions Couple directly to filter wheels, microscopes, C-lenses and spinning disk confocal scanners • Various magnifications Match cameras to CSU aperture or control effective pixel size s Biplane / dual focal plane imaging s Calcium flux / ion signalling e.g. Fura, Fluo-3 dyes s Dual wavelength TIRF microscopy s Dual wavelength real-time confocal microscopy s Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) imaging s Simultaneous fluorescence /DIC imaging
