Compact Imaging: Features and Benefits

• Real time capability provides:
• High time resolution (frame rates)
• Minimized bleaching and phototoxicity

Due to the optimized interaction of light source, camera and software very fast image acquisition is possible.
Another important consequence of this optimized interaction is that the specimen is illuminated only for the shortest possible time required for exposure of the camera. Thus bleaching or damaging effects of the fluorescence excitation light are minimized. For detailed information concerning the TILL imaging concept follow this link (link auf whitepaper)

• High performance light source
The TILL Oligochrome combines the performance of the new hard coated filters with the speed of a galvanometer based system.

• Switches between filters in ms
• High output power in UV (>320nm) and VIS
• Contains DSP-based controller for light source and camera control
• Five filter positions with fine intensity control (1%)
• Vibration free coupling to the microscope by optical fibre
• Intuitive Acquisition software
The Live Acquisition software features flexible, high speed, real-time image acquisition with an easy to use user interface. The Live Acquisition software has full control over the hardware.
• Cameras tailored for your application
Whether you need a fast economic camera, an EMCCD camera of highest sensitivity or a general purpose workhorse you can find it in the list of supported cameras.
• Small footprint
Due to the integration of the real time controller into the light source the footprint of the system is very small and safes precious lab space. Due to the cooling concept other devies can be placed on top of the light source without being heated or blocking ventilation.
• Low cost of ownership
Other than liquid light guides the quartz light guide needs no regularl replacement and in addition has a better UV performance. The high stability Xenon lamps used for the light source have a typical lifetime of 2000 hours
