The Microscopio Confocale Eclipse C1 Plus has been discontinued and replaced by the C2+ Confocal.
Eclipse C1 Plus Specifications
| Scan Head: | User interchangable scan head dichroic mirrors to match all available laser combinations. 4 PC controlled pinholes on a rotating drum |
|---|---|
| Scanning: | Up to 3 frames/sec.; Bidirectional scanning; Scan rotation through software within F.N. 17; X-axis line scan; theda-axis line scan; Up to 2048 x 2048 pixel resolution; 12 bit gray scale; 2D X/Y, 3D X/Y/Z, 3D X/Y/T, 4D X/Y/Z/T; Continuous scan zoom from full field to a single pixel scan. |
| Detector Unit: | Separate PMT detector unit containing two or three high sensitivity, extended red response, side window photomultiplier tubes; Optional transmission detector with its own fiber coupled, board mounted mini-PMT; Detector unit is coupled to the scan head by a low loss multimode optical fiber; Emission filters and dichroic mirrors mounted in user interchangable Nikon EF-4 fluorescence filter blocks. |
| Detector Channels: | 4 channels acquired simultaneously or in series; 2 or 3 confocal fluorescence channels; 1 confocal reflection channel; 1 laser scanned transmission channel |
| Laser Unit: | S-Type with space for two or three lasers, attenuation by neutral density filters; EX-type with space for three lasers, continuous attenuation, manually without ND filters or with optional acousto-optical modulators (AOM). A four laser unit is also available with direct modulation of diode lasers and acousto-optical tunable filter (AOTF) modulation of the other lasers. All beams are combined in the laser unit and launched through an armored single mode polarization maintaining optical fiber. |
