TwinLED LED Fluorescent Illuminators – Cairn Research
The TwinLED is a compact, modular LED illuminator designed for fluorescent imaging and transmitted light.
Optimised for control by the OptoLED module, it incorporates pre-configured LEDs (green/red) for applications in green fluorescence, red fluorescence, optogenetics or broadband lighting.
Cairn takes care of LED selection, intensity control, optical assembly and filtering to ensure an excellent signal-to-noise ratio.
Features of the TwinLED – Cairn Research
- Ready-to-use, compact and scalable dual-channel illuminator
- Sub-microsecond digital/analogue switching
- Compatible with Cairn OptoLED controllers and accessories
- Dual digital inputs for camera synchronisation and photobleaching reduction
- Coupled with Cairn MultiStream for high-speed calcium imaging
- Low maintenance due to high stability
