Flash photolysis system
The Cairn Flash Photolysis System features continuously variable voltage, and a switchable bank of capacitors for generating high-energy pulses for the photolytic release of caged compounds. Using the latest capacitor technology, and our proprietary igniter design, incorporated into the lamp housing, the Cairn system is compact, flexible and causes relatively little electrical interference. By allowing the user to select both capacitance and voltage; the intensity, duration, and recharge rate of flashes can be controlled. The control unit can be supplied with a range of lamp housings for direct coupling, or coupling via a liquid light guide.
