With operating visible spectrum ranging from 400-650 nm, ALC-500 series of solid state laser combiners suit applications such as photo-activation, confocal and TIRF microscopy. With multi-port switch, units can be used as core components for multi-modal microscopy systems.
New Solid State Laser Combiner Offers 5 Laser Lines
Andor Revolution Microscopy Systems Maintain Leading Performance with Upgraded Component
Belfast, Northern Ireland, 10 December 2008 - Andor Technology plc (Andor), a world leader in scientific imaging and spectroscopy solutions, are pleased to announce the launch of the latest upgrade to their acclaimed 'Revolution' range of microscopy systems, the ALC-500 Solid State Laser Combiner.
First introduced by Andor in 2005, the goal of the solid state laser combiner technology was to introduce a product with a small footprint (physical, electrical and environmental), and modular design for flexibility and best-in-class performance. This latest addition, the ALC-500 series, builds upon the specifications of its predecessor and now offers up to 5 solid state laser lines.
Energy efficient, the fully loaded combiner consumes only a few hundred watts and operates in a standard laboratory environment. It covers the visible spectrum from 400 to 650 nm, which makes it an ideal source for applications such as Photo-activation, Confocal and TIRF Microscopy. With our MPU (multi-port switch) Andor laser combiners offer unique possibilities as core components for multi-modal microscopy systems.
Dr. Mark Browne, Market Development Manager within Andor, said "Yet again Andor have raised the bar in laser-based microscopy solutions. The modular design of the new ALC-500 series allows for greater performance in terms of footprint, stability and flexibility within Andor's highly customizable Revolution microscopy systems".
Andor enables its customers to break new ground by performing light measurements previously considered impossible. With a portfolio spanning high-performance scientific digital cameras, spectrographs, and microscopy systems, Andor is a world leader in scientific imaging and spectroscopy solutions, and is quoted on the London Stock Exchange (LSE: AND).
