Autofocus sensor designed specifically for live animal research

Compensates for live animal motions for example breathing heartbeat, pulse and maintains confocal microscopes in focus at all times. Handles both slow and fast 'focus drift'. Is compatible with most microscope models.

'Key Benefits:

• Compensates for live animal motions including breathing and maintains confocal or other microscope in focus at all times
• Fast operation allow live video rate imaging
• Automatically corrects for BOTH slow and fast focus drift
• Enables examination of very fast dynamics within live animals - no lost frames
• Does not interfere with fluorescent imaging – fully compatible with two-photon excitation above 785nm
• Very compact sensor facilitates easy integration

Main Features:

• LASS has a built in RISC processor with FPGA to allow real-time data processing
• Integrated closed loop control with z-axis actuation
• Designed to compensate for z-axis motions up to 100 µm/s
• Operates at 3 kHz allowing video rate imaging
• Signal conditioning
• Surface recognition
• Focal plane offset
• User interface open to customer for customization
• Camera sync feature
• Laser off feature
• 785nm wavelength measuring laser
• Features optics/illumination customized to live animal research
• Compact sensor size (50 x 52 x 132mm)
• Optional analog output matching with third party piezo-actuators
• Optional WDI z-axis actuator with controller
• Compact optional controller size (35 x 106 x 126mm)
