TwinLED-1

TWINLED Light Source Compact and optimised LED illuminator Fast, Stable Calcium Imaging We introduced LED based Fura-2 systems five years ago, but only with 360nm isosbestic ratioing (due to limitations in LED availability). We are delighted to now offer full 340nm / 380nm ratiometric Fura-2 imaging with integrated excitation filters. Similarly, the LED configuration for Fura-8 is also available. Ratiometric calcium imaging with LEDs can work very well, but, due to the relatively narrow bandwidths and spectral variations of individual LEDs, it does require attention to detail. The FuraLED head works directly with our OptoLED controller and makes the process simple, as we take care of the LED selection and intensity regulation to make your experiments work. We understand that most researchers will also want to use visible indicators and, quite likely, their existing light source alongside the FuraLED. To simplify this the coupling is equipped with a straight-through port to accommodate any fibre based illuminator, or additional Cairn LEDs.
