Optosplit II

Variable internal path separation - Allows optimization of the internal optics to match the aperture of the optical system, therefore minimizing the introduction of aberrations.

Dichroic mirror and emission filters mounted in a readily interchangeable cube - Allows the user to exchange filter sets both easily and quickly. Some competing products have factory fitted filters.

Variable and locking rectangular diaphragm aperture for defining field size - Allows the user to define the ROI both horizontally and vertically and set the images to the optimum size for the camera sensor. Once set, the aperture can be locked in position

Compact design with integral C-mount input and output ports - Advantageous where laboratory space is at a premium and the integral C-mounts allow it to be easily attached to a wide variety of standard microscopes and CCD cameras.

Simple and precise controls for image registration - Allow the split images to be accurately and easily centred in the desired field of view, and pixels aligned with respect to each other.

Interchangeable filter / dichroic holders for dual and single wavelength imaging - Flexibility to use multiple wavelengths by simply changing filter and re-sizing the defined field.

Aperture diaphragms to balance signal levels if appropriate - Acts as an adjustable neutral density filter, which can be more convenient than using neutral density filters.

Rotating filter mount for polarization studies - Accurately orientates the emission polarization to maximize the contrast between the two channels.
