PHASE CONTRAST ILLUMINATOR Ultra long-distance phase contrast for inverted microscopes The Cairn Aura phase contrast illuminator allows true Zernike phase contrast with a working distance up to 180 mm (clear working space!) for your most demanding experiments. Based on a concept developed by Webb et al. at the University of Nottingham, the Aura uses concentric rings of super-bright LEDs in place of the conventional condenser and phase rings. The Aura provides the highest-quality phase contrast images with very simple alignment and works with a selection of inverted research microscopes for electrophysiology, live cell imaging, and multimodal time lapse experiments. The Aura allows turn-key PhL, Ph1, and Ph2 and some darkfield imaging in white light or the near infrared (other colours on request).

ILLUMINATION SYSTEMS INTENSITY, STABILITY AND FLEXIBILITY MultiLine LaserBank Modular and versatile laser launch system allows for use of up to six solid-state lasers from multiple manufacturers. Ideal for TIRF, spinning disk confocal, FRAP and optogenetic applications or any combination of these with multiple outlets via single or multi-mode fibres. Provides the convenience of a custom, turnkey system. TriLine Laser Bank The TriLine shares much of the modularity and flexibility of the MultiLine, but in a simpler and more compact package (up to 3 lasers). The design offers the flexibility...
