MULTICAM D A T A S H E E T
Multi-emission imaging using
multiple cameras
Engineered for super resolution quality
With custom designed optics, the Cairn Multicam
offers superior image quality on camera sensors
up to 13.3x13.3mm. The unit accommodates
three of our standard filter cubes allowing light
to be distributed on the basis of wavelength,
polarisation state or focal depth. Each cube has
fine mechanical X-Y adjustment for pixel overlay
or deliberate image offset. The input of the
instrument has a variable rectangular
aperture enabling the use of cropped
sensor mode on all detectors. Each port
can be fitted with different magnification
optics to accommodate all popular sensor sizes
and a wide range of fields of view. As the internal
optics are infinity corrected, manual or motorised
filter changers can also be fitted to input and
output ports. APPLICATIONS

MULTICHANNEL EMISSION SPLITTING RANGE
NO.1 IN OPTICAL PERFORMANCE, STABILITY AND USABILITY
OptoSplit II & III
With an elegant configuration for simple side by side image splitting
and optimised for sensors up to 18.8mm diagonal, the OptoSplit delivers high
throughput imaging at a realistic price. Ideal for FRET, ratiometric imaging, polarisation
studies and most simultaneous imaging applications requiring two or three images.
User-configurable cubes and intuitive x, y and focal adjustments offer convenience and
simplicity.
Optosplit II Bypass
This builds on the success of the OptoSplit II, but adds a convenient single lever bypass
mode making it more suitable for multi-user microscopes where simultaneous dual
channel imaging is required for specific experiments alongside single wavelength
recordings.
MultiSplit
Up to four channels simultaneously on one camera chip! The Multisplit uses the four
quadrants of a single camera in a 2×2 square format. The Multisplit has the further
possibility of simultaneous multi-depth imaging which is particularly attractive, as we
can now do this at four depths rather than just two or three.
Multi Camera Adapters
Splitters for up to four channel imaging using multiple cameras (up to 22mm diagonal).
Perform simultaneous recording, polarisation states or z depths without having
to reduce their size. Variable rectangular aperture allows for the use of cropped sensor
modes for the fastest speeds. Now with new more rigid camera mounting clamps and
magnetically aligned filter cube facility.
OptoMask
Enables precise FOV control for the high-speed, cropped sensor mode offered by
several camera manufacturers including Andor and Roper Scientific.
OptoSpin
An intelligently designed, fast-spinning and stepping filter wheel.
This slim unit has low inertia, enabling smooth operation and the ability to step between
emission filters in 30ms, and spin continuously at 7500rpm when synchronised with
a suitable light source. Change filters without moving the camera. Mount two units
together in the same 35mm optical path length for versatile combinations. (6 position
for one filter wheel, 10 position for two).
