Mightex Multi-Port Illuminator
Combining Wide-Field and Patterned Illumination
Description
Features
- One port accepts a standard 3 mm-core liquid lightguide to produce wide-field illumination
- Customers can use their existing light source and light guide.
- Science Products can also provide LED light sources, i.e. form Mightex.
- The other port accepts Polygon to produce patterned illumination
- Standard front tube should be removed from Polygon before inserting Polygon into Mightex Multi-Port Illuminator (MPI).
- Both “E” and “G” models of Polygon are accepted. “D” model is currently not accepted.*
- Standard-size dichroic in interchangeable filter cube
- Optional excitation filters can be installed in filter cube.
- Holds one (interchangeable) filter cube at a time.
Application Examples
- Use on an inverted microscope where the back port is already occupied by a traditional epi-fluorescence illuminator, for customer who wants to keep the fluorescence imaging capability.
- Use on an upright microscope not equipped with epi-fluorescence illuminator. MPI allows for the addition of both wide-field and patterned illumination capabilities onto the microscope.
- Use on Mightex OASIS Macro/Micro/Implant systems. MPI provides additional flexibility in system configuration.
*Older infinity-path Polygon models need to be converted to C-mount version first.
