Optical adapter XT2

for microscopesthread

It is often necessary to use devices such as filter wheels and LCTFs on the emission port of a microscope. Optical devices that are placed in the focusing beam produce a series of errors, including parfocality and bandpass variation. These imaging challenges can be corrected with the XT2 collimating emission port adapter. Key Features ► Two-piece optical adapter creates 1–4″ of collimated (infinity) space at the emission port of microscopes ► Enables addition of filter wheels and other emission devices without the associated aberrations found when these devices are placed in focusing space ► Provides “extra space” at microscope emission port for installation of instrumentation such as filter wheels and liquid-crystal tunable filters (LCTFs) ► Flexible enough for use with a variety of optical devices with C-mounts
