Wavelength selector aimed at microscopy, machine vision and hyperspectral imaging applications.
A new family of Flexible Wavelength Selectors (FWS) from Spectrolight combines the wavelength tunability and adjustable bandwidth of a traditional monochromator with the circular uniform aperture of a bandpass filter. Intended for applications in microscopy, machine vision and hyperspectral imaging, the FWS-Basic is the first model in the series, and features simple manual control of wavelength and bandwidth with an aperture of up to 10 mm. Several models are available with tuning ranges to cover the visible spectrum, and FWHM bandwidth is adjustable from 1.5 nm to 20 nm.
The Flexible Wavelength Selector is based on Spectrolight’s patented TwinFilm™ Technology – a next generation approach to wavelength filtering and scanning. In addition to its true imaging capability, other advantages of the Flexible Wavelength Selector include high optical efficiency, integrated alignment compensation, sharp wavelength cut-off, and high (106) out of band extinction. Optional adaptors, including a C-mount, enable simple light-tight interfacing with microscopes, lamp housings, s-CMOS cameras, and other common photonic tools.
The compact (40 mm x 76 mm x 40 mm) in-line design of the revolutionary FWS-Basic makes it ideal for both end user and OEM integration in microscopy and other instrumentation applications across the life sciences – for filtering both sources and detectors. Examples include optogenetics, cell biology, drug discovery, and spectroscopic chemical imaging. It is also well suited to color sensitive machine vision and hyperspectral imaging applications in aerospace, pharma, agriculture, semiconductor, and automotive industries.
