and Synergize Your Dual Wavelength Imaging R Beautiful things happen when the W-VIEW GEMINI Image Splitting optics is combined with the ORCA-Flash4.0 LT sCMOS camera.... the W-VIEW GEMINI equally divides the field of view into two separate images, side by side on a single camera. When that camera is the ORCA-Flash4.0 LT in W-VIEW Mode, it's now possible to use innovative new functions that include independent exposures and subarrays for each half of the sensor. Digital CMOS camera C11440-42U Image Splitting Optics A12801-01 Exceptional QE across a wide range of wavelengths combined with low noise make the ORCA-Flash4.0 LT a simple and affordable choice for low light imaging. With three times the field of view and two times the speed of ORCA-Flash4.0 LT + W-VIEW GEMINI light path traditional interline CCDs this camera opens a host of new possibilities. Multistained cell Hamamatsu’ s new W-VIEW Mode for the ORCA-Flash4.0 LT expands Microscope objective lens those possibilities even further. Dual wavelength fluorescence just got a lot less complicated. Simplifying multi-wavelength experiments like FRET, the W-VIEW GEMINI /ORCA-Flash4.0 LT duo get out of your way to bring you Excitation light Fluorescence closer to the biology. What biological processes will this synergistic ORCA-Flash4.0 LT partnership bring closer to you? W-VIEW GEMINI W-VIEW Mode Feature1: Independent Exposure Times Problem Solution Exposure time Exposure time 10 ms 50 ms (×5) Exposure time Exposure time 10 ms 10 ms Result Unbalanced ×5 long exposure Balanced exposure image only for yellow exposure image It’ s pretty rare that the signals from dual wavelength fluorescence samples warrant the same exposure times. When your cyan channel is screaming but your yellow is ho-hum horrible, the LT’ s new W-VIEW Mode takes away the need for complicated tweaks in optics or filtration and seamlessly ensures more balanced exposures for reliably quantitative dual wavelength imaging. W-VIEW Mode Feature 2: Independent and Selectable Readout Directions Problem Solution or Result or Dual readout direction make it possible to take advantage of capability of splitting like W-VIEW GEMINI. Single readout direction (Alternate multi color imaging) Dual readout direction (Simultaneous color imaging) With the independent readout direction, synchronous illumination of two different wavelength is possible to image two-wavelength excitation/ two-wavelength emission simultaneously by the W-VIEW GEMINI. W-VIEW Mode Feature 3: Independent Subarray Problem Solution Result With W-VIEW Mode Pixel number: 1600×1024 Pixel number: 400×256×2 Data size: 3.27 MB Data size: 0.4 MB Frame late: 60 fps Frame late: 390 fps Fast experiments can generate a lot of data. What if you need to go fast but not necessarily keep every single pixel of the image? The ability to specify two regions of interest on the ORCA-Flash4.0 LT means both a big increase in speed and smaller files sizes. High-speed, extended time course data are recorded with more simplicity than ever before.
