NEW SCAN BLOCK C10516 Compact scan head for easy assembly into a system OVERVIEW The C10516 scan block is an optical block that combines galvano scanners with a telecentric fθ (F-theta) lens designed for laser beam scanning in the visible range. Coupling the C10516 to other optical blocks allows forming a measurement system for laser scanning fluorescence microscopes, reflecting microscopes, and even confocal microscopes. The 21.5 mm diameter observation area allows making wide-range sample observations. High magnification images can be observed with a photomultiplier tube by attaching the scan block to the C-mount port of a commercially available microscope. APPLICATIONS Left: Scan block main unit, Right: Control unit FEATURES ●Laser scanning microscopes ●Confocal laser scanning microscopes ●2D scan by two galvano scanners ●Contains a telecentric fθ (F-theta) lens ●Wide observation area of 21.5 mm diameter ●High-magnification observations in combination with a microscope objective lens ●Covers a wide spectral range (Example) Biological microscopes Industrial microscopes DNA chip and protein chip readers CONFIGURATION The C10516 consists of a scan block and a control unit. Two galvano scanners and a telecentric fθ lens are built into the scan block main unit. The control unit contains a driver board for driving and controlling the galvano scanners.

This software was developed with National Instruments LabVIEW 2011 and so the software program was created assuming that a data acquisition unit (DAQ) of National Instruments is used. We also offer the program source free of charge to allow you to change the program or add functions as needed. [Operating conditions] The following items must be installed: LabVIEW 2011 or later NI-DAQmx NI-IMAQ 4.6.4 or later Please contact us when you need this sample software. Data Acquisition Unit (DAQ) (commercially available product) A data acquisition unit (DAQ) is required to operate the scan block. Using a commercially available data acquisition unit (DAQ) helps you operate the scan block. Select the DAQ with specifications that match your application. [Recommended specifications] Number of Analog Input Resolution Sampling Rate Number of Analog Output Resolution Input Channels Output Channels (bits) (S/second) (bits) 1 or more a 12 or more 1 M or more 2 12 or more Output Rate (S/second) 1 M or more Simultaneous Sampling Digital I/O a b aWhen acquiring images from multiple channels, we recommend using a simultaneous sampling DAQ. If a multiplexer type is used, the acquired images will shift in time. bCounter input will be needed when using photon counting to acquire images.
