Rapid Wavelength Change
Represents the next bold step in the evolution of light sources. The compact, proprietary (patented) single monochromator design permits the selection of any single wavelength in two milliseconds or less. This means that the speed of the wavelength change is independent of proximity. For example to change from 300 nm to 650 nm takes the same time as to change from 300 nm to 320 nm. If you want to change between 300 nm, 500 nm, 340 nm and 600 nm, it can be done faster than 8 milliseconds. Obviously you may want to pause at the individual wavelengths for some period of time—which is for you to define. The DeltaRAM X™ minimizes the downtime between measurements.
The DeltaRAM X™ is ideally suited for multi-wavelength applications as well as excitation scanning. It is easily controlled via a single low voltage signal line, computer interface and basic software is included. DeltaRAM X™ delivers powerful excitation wavelength from 250–650 nm under synch-lock computer control. Synch-lock control, locks the DeltaRAM X™ monochromator to the camera exposure or frame readout. The DeltaRAM X™ saves you money by not requiring purchase of additional excitation filters for each dye you wish to use. Synch-lock allows accurate timing to be retained between camera and illuminator.
Systems not synch-locked can be plagued with synchronization problems or latency due to operating events or user clicking events. Try this in another imaging software package click and drag a window either the illuminator will stop moving, or images will stop being acquired until the mouse button is released. This does not happen with OBB's sync lock!
The DeltaRAM X™ comes complete with a computer-controlled shutter to prevent photo bleaching of sample. The spectral bandwidth is continuously adjustable from zero to twenty-four nm.
