| Features
The InCyt MicroPhotometerTM module
is a fully integrated system for quantificative measurements in
fluorescence microscopy. It has been especially designed for situations
requiring high rates of data acquisition and extremely low light
levels. Measurements may be taken as rapidly as 200 per second.
A combination of low dark current and a high signal to noise ratio
permit accurate measurements to be made at light levels below the
limit of sensitivity of the human eye.
Easy to Install and Easy to Use
The InCyt MicroPhotometerTM module
includes hardware and software that has been custom designed to
work together as a fully integrated unit and to provide an intuitive
interface for the scientist engaged in fluorescence microscopy.
The hardware consists of a photon counter incorporated in a housing
containing a computer-controlled shutter for overload protection,
a variable dimension rectangular aperture for selection of the region
of interest, and a side port for viewing the selected area. The
interface between the photometer and the microscope is a variable
focal length relay lens that fits most microscopes with a trinocular
head or a side video port. Setup requires only a few minutes. Just
insert the photometer into the microscope port, connect a cable
to the serial port of your computer, plug in the external power
supply, install the software and you are ready to start doing experiments.
