Salient Characteristics

Multiphoton Confocal System, A1R HD-Si-MP

1. General Multiphoton confocal laser microscope imaging system. A high-resolution galvanometer scanner and an ultra-high speed resonant scanner.

2. Warranty Requirements

a. One year warranty for parts and labor, including MP Lasers, 5 year mechanical “brass and glass”, and one-year electrical warranty. Additional years can be purchased separately after initial warranty expires. Extended warranty, beyond the first 12 months, for lasers can be purchased separately from the laser manufacturer.

3. Technical Specification and Code Requirements

a. Power Requirements: Minimum three (3) 115V 20A Outlets [NEMA5-20R type] on separate circuits. To include four (4) receptacles.

b. Input Voltage: +/- 5%; frequency 60Hz +/- 5%; harmonic distortion: <3%. Power free of surges and harmonics. NEMA-20R standard.

c. Include in-line conditioners.

d. Include battery backup to protect the system in the event of a power failure, to prevent data loss with long-term experiments.

4. Essential Features / Must Have…

a. 1300 nm dual beam multiphoton confocal microscope configured on the unique large format microscope platform for flexibility.

b. Stage that is appropriately sized to accommodate live animals, from mice to rabbits.

c. Minimum 25mm field of vision, to accommodate larger images per frame.

d. Scanhead and Controller

e. Dual Incident Optical Units for Dual Beam IR laser with automatic laser alignment capability

f. Coherent Dual Beam 1300nm IR Laser
