Description
The Photometrics® DV2™ is a cutting-edge dual-channel simultaneous-imaging system designed to enhance imaging capabilities in life sciences. Utilizing a single-beamsplitter design, the DV2™ efficiently divides the emission light from a microscope into two independent channels. This innovative approach allows each channel to be projected onto half of the CCD simultaneously, making it an essential tool for advanced imaging techniques such as FRET and other emission ratiometric applications.
This state-of-the-art system is engineered to seamlessly integrate with most microscopes, offering improved adjustment control for easier image alignment. The redesigned aperture adjustments ensure that apertures remain parallel, enhancing the precision of your imaging results. With its ability to separate emissions by wavelength, polarization, or amplitude, the DV2™ provides unparalleled versatility in imaging applications.
The Photometrics® DV2™ also features a bypass mode for hassle-free full-field imaging, and an exchangeable filter cube that supports multiple applications with minimal realignment. This product is compatible with a wide range of Photometrics® and QImaging® cameras, making it a versatile choice for researchers looking to expand their imaging capabilities. The integrated, adjustable CCD mask minimizes ghosting, ensuring high-quality imaging for a variety of scientific investigations.
With dimensions of 6.5” at its widest point and a height of 8.5”, the DV2™ is compact yet robust, weighing in at 4.8 lbs. It accommodates standard 25-mm-diameter emission and polarization filters, making it a practical addition to any laboratory setup. This system is designed to operate efficiently within a wavelength sensitivity range of 400 to 750 nm and can function optimally at temperatures ranging from 10 to 37˚C. The Photometrics® DV2™ is a reliable and advanced imaging solution, backed by patents in the USA, Australia, and Canada, with other foreign patents pending.
