Two-way image splitter
New large sensor version

The Optosplit II LS image splitter from Cairn Research
is a simple and elegant device for dividing an image into
two separate, spatially equivalent, components
that can be displayed side by side on
a single camera chip.
Splitting is usually performed on the basis of
wavelength, allowing applications such as ratiometric
calcium imaging or FRET, however, polarising
beamsplitters are also supported. The two images can
be captured simultaneously offering a major benefit
over manual or electronic filter changers. A rectangular
aperture is used to define the region to be imaged,
with a set of simple controls allowing the user to vary
the relative positions of the two output images on the
camera. The Cairn Optosplit II can significantly widen
the scope of any fluorescence imaging system.

Applications
t Ratiometric ion or voltage imaging
t Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET)
t Dual probe widefield microscopy
t TIRF/Spinning disk confocal
t Combined fluorescence/transmitted light microscopy

Key Benefits
t

t Works with sensor sizes up to 22mm diagonal
(eg sCMOS)

t User configurable filter cubes with industry
standard filters/dichroics
t Optional magnification or demagnification
t Unsplit mode through either channel or none
t Intuitive and independent x, y and focal controls

t Accommodates ND filters or chromatic
t correction lenses
t Standard spectral range from 450 to 900nm
