OEM Microscope with Liquid Light Guide

We have developed a robust and inexpensive USB 3.0 interferance liquid light guide. This technology is the result of our development of the IncuScope inverted fluorescent microscope. We would like to offer it as a module for other instrument makers to use in a variety of imaging functions. The module can consist of any or all of the following parts:

• Main PCB / Control Board-  which has a USB 3.0 interface for control of PCB, LED and Camera settings, input and output of DC power, and 6 LED outputs
• Camera sensor or a complete camera can be mounted to the imaging module and connected to a PC directly.  Currently a 2.3 MP color  and up to 16 MP color sensors are available. we can offer CMOS, sCMOS and CCD depending on your requirment.
• Manual LED Control through a ribbon cable to the mian PCB with two conttrol knobs and displays for channel name (1 to 6) and LED level (0-99).
• Filter Cub or Emission filters, dichroic mirror along with focusing optics, if required.
• Excitation Source-  Contains  liquid light guide, excitation LEDs and excitation filters.

The following photos illustrate these components with filter cage and separtely for the liquid light guide.
