ZIVA Light Engine for Yokogawa CSU
The Yokogawa CSU is a highly regarded spinning disk confocal scanner in widespread use for 3-dimensional imaging of live cells, tissues, and microorganisms. However, the range of fluorescence excitation wavelengths provided by lighting installed on CSU systems is often limited to four lasers. Further, the cost of these lasers often exceeds that of the CSU scanner itself. Lumencor’s ZIVA Light Engine increases the number of lasers from four to seven at a price well below that of the CSU scanner. The ZIVA’s lasers are refined by bandpass filters, merged into a common optical train, passed through a despeckler, and directed to the light output port on the front panel. Output wavelength is selected by direct on/off switching of the lasers. There is no potential for light leakage through an external selection device such as an AOTF. The Light Engine output is directed to the Yokogawa CSU scanner through a precision-engineered adapter. This optical coupler provides intense and uniform illumination at the sample plane. All these capabilities are assembled in a compact, bench-top device with a 15 cm × 35 cm footprint.
