OPTO OPTICAL BLOCKS
MECHANICS Optical Components for Optical Measurement
OVERVIEW
FEATURES
The optical blocks are compact units that contain components such
as bandpass filters and dichroic mirrors. They are designed for lowlight-level measurements that use PMT modules and high-sensitivity
cameras. Because their optical components are placed precisely
through the use of high-precision machining, the blocks shield light
superbly. Also, you can use the separate blocks in different combinations by removing and attaching them with thumbscrews.

The lens inside the A10037 fiber adapter block collimates the beam
of the light signal emitted from the optical fiber. The dichroic mirror
inside the A10034 dichroic block reflects light below a certain
wavelength and passes light above that wavelength. Finally, each of
the two A10033 filter blocks isolates a specific wavelength so that the
signal levels of the two separate wavelengths can be measured.

BLOCK CHARACTERISTICS
●Stage Block A10858
The stage block is for using an infinity-corrected objective lens in object
image generation and fluorescence detection. It has two C-mount ports on
the top and bottom of its rear panel. You can use other optical blocks to
connect the stage block to a PMT module or ICCD camera (p. 27). Because
you can use the stage block cover to keep the measured area in darkness,
the stage block is useful even when detecting faint light. Furthermore, if you
remove the cover and illuminate the sample appropriately using an
illuminator, you can generate images by using the stage block with the
A10859-01 tube lens block, CCD cameras, and other devices.

Spacer
Objective Lens Mount A10921
A 20 mm spacer is installed
between the workplate and
the XZ axis stage. Removing this spacer will give you
20 mm of extra space,
which is useful when observing relatively tall objects
in an upright configuration.
You can move the workplate along the X and Y axes by attaching an X-axis
stage (SURUGA SEIKI

Imaging Lens
Distance Between the Imaging Lens and the Objective Lens
The light from the sample is collimated by the infinitycorrected objective lens before it enters the imaging lens.
The imaging lens focuses the image on the focal point.
Even though the beam of light that passes from the infinity-corrected
objective lens to the imaging lens is collimated, the distance between the
lenses must still be kept below a certain limit. This limit (L) can be
calculated from the specifications of the objective and imaging lenses and
the effective area of the sensor.

To avoid vignetting when using the A10859 with objective lens (f1 = 18
mm, NA = 0.25) and a 1/3-inch video camera (φ = 6 mm), keep the
distance from the objective lens to the A10859 below 100 mm. At this
distance, placing a dichroic mirror between the objective lens and the
A10859 will not have much of an effect on the overall optical
characteristics.

CONNECTION EXAMPLES
●Connection Example Using Bifurcated Optical Fiber
Light from a light source is injected into one arm of the bifurcated optical fiber to irradiate a sample or measurement surface.
Fluorescence emitted from the sample or light reflected from the measurement surface is collected by the same optical fiber and then
detected by the PMT module through the other arm of the bifurcated optical fiber.

●Connection Example Using the Beam Expander Block
The A10031 beam expander block is designed to narrow a 20-mm beam of collimated light to a diameter of 8 mm, the size of the
PMT module's photocathode; however, the expander block's use is not just limited to collimated light, it can also be used to converge
divergent light. For example, if you use the beam expander block to receive the divergent light from an optical fiber, the signal level
will be higher than if you had just used a PMT module.

●Connecting to a Microscope
The microscope port is designed so that the image is focused at 17.526 mm from the C-mount attachment location. When you
connect a C-mount adapter to a commercially sold 10-mm C-mount ring (male to female), the approximate location of the image
point is at the PMT module's photocathode (as shown in the figure on the left).
If the light converges to a diameter of 1 mm or less at the image point, do not match the location of the image point to the location of
the PMT module's photocathode; instead, expose the photocathode to a defocused light beam with a diameter of 1 mm or more.

●Fluorescence Detection (Confocal)
For detecting fluorescence, it is convenient to use a laser with an optical fiber output. If you intend to focus the laser up to the
diffraction limit, use single-mode optical fiber. The infinity-corrected objective lens inside the beam aligner block collimates the light
beam emitted from the optical fiber. In this situation, you can collect the light efficiently if you use an objective lens with an NA that is
larger than that of the optical fiber. You can calculate the beam diameter from the optical fiber NA or the objective lens NA, whichever
is smaller, and the focal length of the objective lens.
The laser is reflected by the dichroic mirror, passes through the objective lens in the stage block, and excites the sample. The excited
fluorescence passes through the objective lens, dichroic mirror, and tube lens block and is focused on the position of the pinhole that
is installed in the pinhole block. This creates the confocal optical system. The light that passes through the pinhole is collimated by
the installed lens and is injected into the PMT module.

Technical Guide
The performance of the confocal optical system is determined by the size of the pinhole. The Airy disk (diameter) is used as the
reference. The following equation is used to calculate the Airy disk. The system magnification is determined by the focal length of the
observation-side objective lens and the focal length of the tube lens block.

Airy disk (diameter) = 1.22 × M ×
NA
Focal length of the tube lens block
Focal length of the observation-side objective lens*
λ : Fluorescence wavelength
NA: NA of the observation-side objective lens
M: System magnification =
* If the objective lens focal distance on the observation side is unknown, please contact the lens manufacturer.
If spatial resolution is important, use a pinhole whose size is close to the size of the Airy disk. If you are only measuring fluorescence
intensity, make the pinhole larger than the Airy disk; this will lower the spatial resolution, but it will also increase the signal level.
●Connection Example Using an Objective Lens and the Tube Lens Block
An infinity-corrected objective lens is connected to the A10859 tube lens block with a microscope objective lens mount, which has
threads for a M20.32 × 0.706 mm objective lens and a C-mount male thread. Next, the tube lens block is connected to an imaging
camera, such as an ICCD camera. You can adjust the focus using the manual focusing ring on the tube lens block.

CONNECTION EXAMPLES
● Imaging System Connection Example
Coaxial Incident Illumination Method
Illuminate the sample with a fiber bundle connected to a xenon arc lamp. You can attach the fiber bundle easily by using a
commercially sold C-mount light guide mount. To excite the sample, put an excitation filter that matches its fluorescent dye into the
A11213-01 C-mount interchangeable filter block. If the light from the fiber bundle is not diffused enough, you can illuminate the
sample evenly by inserting a holographic or other type of diffuser.
The dichroic mirror reflects the excitation light. Then, the objective lens of the A10858 stage block focuses the light onto the sample,
which is excited by the light. The fluorescence emitted from the sample passes through the dichroic mirror and the fluorescence filter
and is focused onto the imaging camera by the lens inside the A10859-01 tube lens block.

This is an imaging example that uses transmitted illumination. The image of the sample is focused onto an imaging camera, such as

is to use a commercially sold LED illuminator.

Collimated light such as chemiluminescence and bioluminescence captured by an infinity-corrected lens is reduced to 1/2.5 by using
the A10031 beam expander and is guided to the PMT module with an effective diameter of 8 mm. A filter block is added when
detesting light at a specific wavelength.

●Example of Connection to a Mini-Spectrometer
The laser beam emitted from the optical fiber is collimated by the infinity-corrected objective lens inside the A10760 beam aligner
block. The dichroic mirror inside the A11214 C-mount interchangeable dichroic mirror block reflects the collimated laser, which then
passes through the objective lens in the A10858 stage block and illuminates the sample. The fluorescence from the excited sample is
converged by the objective lens and then passes through the dichroic mirror inside the A11214. The fluorescence is then converged
further by the A10031 beam expander block. The lens inside the fiber adapter block converges the light into the optical fiber and
guides it to the mini-spectrometer, where it is measured. If you want to remove the excitation light, place the A10033 filter block
between the beam expander block and the A10037-01 fiber adapter block. The fiber adapter block does not have focusing
capabilities, so we recommend that you connect the fiber adapter block and the mini-spectrometer with an optical fiber whose core
diameter is at least 600 µm.

CONNECTION EXAMPLES
●Simultaneous Measurement with a PMT Module and an Imaging Camera
The following is an example of simultaneous measurement in which the two A10921 objective lens mounts are attached to the
A10858 stage block. The lower (inverted) part excites the sample using laser light and measures the fluorescence of the sample
using the PMT module. The upper (upright) part illuminates the observation area using a xenon arc lamp and uses an imaging
camera to observe the observation area and the fluorescence signal.
A plano-convex lens and a fluorescence filter are installed in front of the PMT module to isolate the fluorescence. The plano-convex
lens converges the beam of light. If this causes a problem in the fluorescence filter's wavelength shift, place the filter in front of the
plano-convex lens.
So that there is no interference with the PMT module's measurement, use a wavelength for the imaging camera's illumination that is
different from both the excitation wavelength and the fluorescence wavelength. For example, if you use a 488 nm laser, use a DM505
dichroic mirror for the PMT module and a 530/40 bandpass filter for the emission filter. On the imaging camera side, use a 600 nm
longpass filter for illumination and put a laser-blocking filter in front of the camera.

●Stabilized Light Sources For PMT L11494 Series
The majority of these devices are LED light sources that have been
developed for visual-sensitive compensation of PMTs and PMT
modules.
Because the amount of light generated by the LED is monitored and
controlled by a photodiode, these devices always generate stable light
of approximately 1 pW.
