M3

The Microfluidic Microscope Module M3 is designed for light microscopy for the observation of objects in microfluidic applications, e.g. microfluidic chips.
M3 can be configured or re-configured for countless applications.

Advantages of M3

✓ Flexible orientiation at any angle: upright, inverse, or sidewards.
✓ Possible use as a secondary microscope, e.g. on top of a confocal or Raman microscope for fine positioning or monitoring the samples.
✓ Ocularless design for keeping the module simple and compact: the image is sent to a camera, spectrometer, or other optical devices.
✓ Moveable elements (lenses, filters, mirrors).
✓ Integration of a high-speed camera (e.g. 500 fps or other frame rates per second, different resolutions, monochrome or multicolour model) according to your specifications.
