Dual Port Camera Adapter

Andor couplers are designed to ensure optimum throughput, minimal aberrations, magnification options and flexible detection configurations. Our couplers match our CSU enhancements and can also be configured with a broad range of imaging optics including microscope C-mount, 'C' and 'CS' mount lenses.

* Magnification X = 1.0, 1.2, 1.5, 2.0 - other by request
* Compatible with 'C'/'CS' lenses, C-mount, filter wheel or CSU + filter wheel
* Magnification select in each arm
* Mounting cassettes 'store adjustment' simplifying exchange and minimizing readjustment

Dual camera Data systems – Master-Slave

In order to operate two cameras at full frame rates, it is necessary to operate two synchronized acquisition workstations (WKS), one per camera. The Master WKS provides timing, device control (e.g. piezo and ALC) and drives the first camera. The Slave WKS acquires data from the second camera, which is synchronized to the first by the Master’s external trigger signal. Once an acquisition is completed, Andor iQ’s Dual ImageDisk utility enables the user to concentrate/merge both image sets onto the Master WKS. The preliminary camera alignment step records any pixel offsets or rotation errors and these can be applied in the data merge process, for user convenience. Once merged the data can be processed, visualized or analyzed like any other multi-channel data in Andor iQ.
