[ Fluorescence illuminator/IX2-RFA ]
Straight type illuminator designed for
maximum throughput is 20% brighter than
the previous model. Well suited for
applications requiring high intensity
excitation or multiple excitation filters.
The field stop (FS) is built in.
[ L-shaped fluorescence illuminator/IX2-RFAL ]
Provides easy access to burner centration
and removable aperture and field stops.
The L-shaped design maintains access to
both back frame ports.
Bright excitation illumination for cell observation/manipulation
The Olympus lineup for fluorescence illumination equipment meets a wide variety of needs
including multi-color fluorescence, ratio imaging, photobleaching and uncaging observa-
tions. The brightness at low magnification is greatly improved.
A wide range of accessories to enable different kinds of
fluorescence imaging.
[ Pinhole field stop/IX2-RFSPOT ]
Flexible field stop options IX2-RFSPOT pinhole field stop module
can be mounted in the L-shaped illuminator for photobleaching
experiments.
*Use commercially available pinhole plate
[ Rectangular field stop/U-RFSS ]
This unique field stop allows the user to control the area of
fluorescence excitation anywhere inside the visual field. For
example, photobleaching and phototoxicity can now be limited to
only the area that is being imaged by the CCD improving overall
brightness and cell viability over long term observations. The unit is
attached at the field stop position of the fluorescence illuminator
IX2-RFAL.
[ Double lamp housing adapter/U-DULHA ]
Allows simultaneous attachment of two light
sources such as halogen and mercury.

is replaceable
for custom
applications.

[ Double lamphouse illuminator/IX2-RFAW ]
Two light sources can be used
simultaneously, so that light stimulation can
be performed during observation.

*1: Can collect light more efficiently than conventional aspherical optics.
*2: Even illumination and no lamp focusing shift, even when changing excitation light wavelengths.
*3: Suitable for multi-color staining or ratio imaging because of flat light source spectrum.
