high throughput light
source flash lamp that is more efficient than the light
source, exciting wide-spectrum light; used to
shorten the time spent on measurements
Note! The max. frequency band of the high
efficiency light source is 1000Hz. One light
impulse has the same optical energy as the
light source, but since the lamp contains an
internal reflector, the average input power is
approx. 35W. If 100 impulses are needed in a
measurement, measuring takes only 0.1 s /
sample using this light source.
hts alphascreen option high throughput version of AlphaScreen
which uses the same very high sensitivity
detector as ultra sensitive luminescence and
an aperture and there are no optics in the
emission light path
instrument case assembly outer cover protecting the
instrument
laser a laser emitting light at a wavelength of 680
nm and used to excite samples in
AlphaScreen
and HTS AlphaScreen measurements
lens assembly component that contains one plano-convex
lens and a lens holder with locking rings
Note! The instrument has four different lens
assemblies with different lens features and at
different locations.
lid opening in the upper instrument case
providing access to
filter slides and mirror
modules
lid lock mechanism to keep the lid locked during
measurement
lid sensor sensors in the instrument case to ensure that
the lid and the door on the right side are
properly closed
lifting unit mechanism for lifting and lowering plates in
the
stacker
light guide optical fiber to guide excitation light into the
inlet aperture of the
mirror module
light guide holder mechanical part onto which the light guide is
mounted
