Olympus FV1000 Microscope & Magnifier User Manual


 
Fluorescence Illumination Unit
Stand with Mercury lamp house, motorized shutter,
and fiber delivery system for conventional fluorescence
observation. Light introduction via fiber optic port.
Transmitted Light Detection Unit
External transmitted light photomultiplier detector and
100 W Halogen conventional illumination, integrated
for both laser scanning and conventional transmitted
light Nomarski DIC observation. Motorized exchange
between transmitted light illumination and laser
detection. Simultaneous multi-channel confocal
fluorescence image and transmitted DIC acquisition
enabled.
Scanning Unit for IX81 Inverted Microscope
Dedicated mirror unit cassette is required.
Scanning Unit for BX61/BX61WI Upright Microscopes
Fluorescence illuminator integrated with scanning unit.
Laser Systems
The multi-combiner enables combinations
with all of the following diode lasers: 405
nm, 440 nm, 473 nm, 559 nm and 635 nm.
The system can also be equipped with
conventional Multi-line Ar laser and
HeNe(G) laser.
Single Type
Single channel laser output. AOTF is standard
equipment.
Scanning Units
Two types of scanning units, filter-based
and spectral detection, are provided. The
design is all-in-one, integrating the
scanning unit, tube lens and pupil
projection lens. Use of the microscope
fluorescence illuminator light path ensures
that expandability of the microscope itself
is not limited. Visible, UV and IR laser
introduction ports are provided, as well as
a feedback control system.
Illumination Units
Conventional illumination modules are
designed for long-duration time-lapse
experiments. Since light is introduced
through fiber delivery systems, no heat is
transferred to the microscope.
Optional Upgrade Equipments for FV1000
TIRFM Unit
Enables control of the necessary volume
of excitation light using FV1000 soft-
ware. This unit enables TIRF imaging
using the laser light source used with
Confocal.
Fiber Port for Fluorescence Output
Confocal fluorescence emission can be
introduced via fiber delivery system into
external device. Fiber port equipped
with FC connector (fiber delivery system
not included).
23
4th Channel Detector Unit
Attaches to the optional port of either
the filter or spectral type scanning unit
and is used as a 4th confocal fluo-
rescence detection channel. This is a
filter-based fluorescence detection unit.
SIM Scanner
Second scanner dedicated for laser light
stimulation, synchronized to the FV1000
main scanner for simultaneous laser
light stimulation and confocal image
acquisition. Independent fiber optic laser
introduction port. Dichromatic mirror
within motorized optical port of the scan
unit required for introduction of laser
into main scanner.
Dual Type
The multi-combiner outputs laser light with two fibers.
Light can be used both for observation and laser light
stimulation.
