openUC2 FluoBox
Turn Your CoreBox into a Fluorescence Imaging System
The openUC2 FluoBox is designed to expand your CoreBox into a fully functional fluorescence microscopy system. This kit includes a fiber-coupled laser, optical components for beam shaping, and a beamsplitter for fluorescence imaging, enabling precise and efficient setups for fluorescence microscopy.
Included Components
In Cubes
- Beamsplitter (Dichroic/50:50 Beam Splitter)
- 50mm Lens (for beam collimation)
- 100mm Lens (for focusing the beam into the back focal plane of an objective lens)
- Fiber Launcher (connects the FPC fiber connector to the cube system)
- Fiber-Coupled Laser (488nm, single-mode fiber, 4µm core, ~35mW power, TTL-controlled)
- 12V Power Supply
Additional Accessories
- 10x Baseplates
Features and Applications
- High-Quality Laser Illumination: The single-mode fiber-coupled laser provides a stable, homogeneous Gaussian beam profile with a central wavelength of 488nm and 35mW output, ideal for fluorescence applications.
- Beam Shaping and Coupling: Use the 50mm lens to collimate the laser beam and the 100mm lens to focus it into the back focal plane of the objective, achieving Köhler illumination for optimal fluorescence imaging.
- Efficient Light Path Design: The beamsplitter cube, integrated with an emission filter, enables efficient beam coupling and filtering for fluorescence imaging workflows.
- Easy Assembly: The included baseplates facilitate stress-free and modular assembly of the entire optical setup.
Applications
This kit is ideal for constructing fluorescence microscopy systems for imaging fluorophores within the 488nm excitation range. It is suitable for biological imaging tasks, such as observing cells or tissues, and can be seamlessly integrated into your existing openUC2 setups for advanced experimentation.
