Product Description

Dual channel microscope Illumination

Compact TwinLED illuminator for fluorescence or transmitted light imaging

To augment our range of individual LED heads and microscope adapters we are pleased to offer the modular TwinLED dual illuminators which work seamlessly with our OptoLED controller. These heads are preconfigured for applications such as green and red fluorescence, optogenetics or broad spectrum transmitted light imaging. We take care of the LED selection, intensity regulation, optical filtering and condenser optics to make your experiments work with the best possible signal-to-noise. As with all our modular illuminators the TwinLEDs can be seamlessly used in combination with other laser, LED or arc lamp illuminators from Cairn or other manufacturers.
