NEW ^{SCAN BLOCK}
C10516
Compact scan head for easy assembly into a system
OVERVIEW
The C10516 scan block is an optical block that combines galvano
scanners with a telecentric fθ (F-theta) lens designed for laser
beam scanning in the visible range. Coupling the C10516 to other
optical blocks allows forming a measurement system for laser
scanning fluorescence microscopes, reflecting microscopes, and
even confocal microscopes. The 21.5 mm diameter observation
area allows making wide-range sample observations. High magni-
fication images can be observed with a photomultiplier tube by at-
taching the scan block to the C-mount port of a commercially
available microscope.

Note 1: This system requires a data acquisition
unit (DAQ) that outputs analog signals
for controlling the galvano scanners and
acquires PMT signals.
Note 2: The optical blocks connected to the scan
block can be changed according to the
measurement purpose.
