reliability of the new system after first tests.”
Interchangeable optical modules Extending the capabilities of the fully customisable IX3 inverted microscope frame, Olympus has expanded its range of compatible, interchangeable optical modules. Ease-of-use and accuracy are vastly improved via new motorised components, which also present a cost efficient means
to gradually upgrade to a fully motorised microscope system.
Te IX3 series, with its novel ‘open source’ design offers a completely modular and flexible system. With a swappable deck design similar to a chest of drawers, optical modules are easily exchanged into the accessible infinite light path, moulding the IX3 microscope to the diverse requirements of the user.
Building upon this expandability, the new range includes a motorised right side port with C-mount (IX3-RSPCA) allowing access to additional components such as detectors and light sources that can be directed into the infinite light path, delivering greater freedom in time-lapse studies and live cell imaging techniques.
Te Olympus motorised fast filter wheel (UFFWEM) can now also be integrated into the infinite light path using the new Olympus optical breadboard (IX3-EMDECK) deck adaptor platform. Motorised filter wheels can seamlessly switch between fluorescent channels in just 60 mS, ideal for photo- manipulation experiments. To further improve the performance of these studies, the new excitation light measurement module (IX3-EXMAD) directly measures and records light intensity across the sample, for improved reproducibility and accurate quantitative analysis of light stimulation.
In another new development, Tec Microscopes, supplier of the MICROTEC range of light microscopes and accessories, has launched its 5megapixel MICROTEC ScopePad digital microscope camera. Combined with a 9.7 inch display screen, the camera provides digital imaging, storage and transmitting and is equipped
