OWNERS MANUAL | C-FLEX | D0579-B DECEMBER 2019
Introduction
C-FLEX is a flexible and compact laser combiner that allows for integration of up to six different wavelengths on
a single platform, modulation options for all wavelengths, and configuration with either free beam or fiber
coupled beam delivery. C-FLEX is compatible with lasers from the Cobolt 06-01, 08-01 and 04-01 Series.*
C-FLEX is intended for stand-alone use in laboratory environments or for integration as an OEM component in
instruments for applications including fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, optogenetics, holography,
raman spectroscopy and photochemistry.
This manual is intended to be used as a tool to give the user a detailed understanding of how to operate and
align C-FLEX as well as the integrated lasers and auxillary equipment. The manual focuses on laser combiner
functionalities and with practical inclusions for the operation of the Cobolt lasers and Cobolt Monitor
TM
control
software and Acousto-optic modulators (AOMs). For more details on the functionality and performance of each
laser product or the auxillary equipment, the specific product manuals can be a valuable resource.
