Computed tomography machine CALLISTO™

Cross Sectional, En Face, and Volumetric Imaging with Handheld Probe Three Imaging Speeds Available Integrated Michelson Interferometer in Probe Minimizes Mode Dispersion Integrated CCD Camera in Probe Provides Real-Time Image of the Sample Being Scanned Telecentric Optics Keep the Beam Perpendicular, Eliminating Image Distortion Over a Broad Scanning Range Compact System Design Ready for OEM Applications Real-Time In Situ Imaging of Biological and Industrial Samples Three 930 nm SD-OCT systems (Hyperion, Ganymede, and Callisto) and one 1325 nm SD-OCT system are in the final stages of testing before being released. The 930 nm SD-OCT systems uses the same SLD light source, software, handheld probe, etc. The difference between the systems is in the spectrometer, which effects the SD-OCT systems maximum A-Scan rate and sensitivity. 930 nm Hyperion: Highest Imaging Speed The Hyperion SD-OCT system has a linear CCD array capable of recording A-Scans at a rate of 110 kHz, which results in 214 fps with 512 lines per frame. This makes the Hyperion, which is the fastest SD-OCT system on the market, ideal for imaging dynamic processes or obtaining volumetric acquisitions in less than 2.5 seconds. Now that the 100 kHz barrier has been exceeded, entirely new fields of research can now benefit from the unique imaging properties of SD-OCT systems. 930 nm Ganymede: High Sensitivity, High Imaging Speed The Ganymede SD-OCT system uses a linear CCD array that balances the sensitivity of the detector with the speed at which the image can be acquired. With an A-Scan rate of 29 kHz, the Ganymede can produce 56 fps with 512 lines per frame. At this speed, the Ganymede is an excellent general purpose SD-OCT system that can image live biological samples as well as rapidly produce 2D en face images and 3D images. 930 nm Callisto: Highest Sensitivity The linear CCD array used in the Callisto's has spectrometer the highest sensitivity of any of the 930 nm SD-OCT systems. The sensitivity directly corresponds to the smallest change in the index of refraction in the sample that can be resolved. Hence, in a layered sample, the images produced by the Callisto will have the highest contrast between the layers. The line camera in the Callisto operates at a maximum A-Scan rate of 1.2 kHz, which results in 2 fps with 512 lines per frame. Thorlabs has several standard OCT systems. However, it is not possible to stock every configuration in this rapidly developing field so for more options, please contact Thorlabs.
