Onelight Spectra Product Specifications

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

OneLightTM Spectra is a color programmable light source for research, health care and life science applications. It can provide any desired mix of color and illumination, with the ability to respond faster than most image capture devices. OneLight Spectra can improve the performance of microscopy and spectroscopy imaging systems by replacing conventional light sources, shutters, filter wheels and optical filters. Using thousands of built-in and user-defined spectral profiles, OneLight Spectra eliminates the need for many costly light sources and filters; reducing the cost of components, eliminating repeated calibrations, improving time to market and time to publication for test results.

ONELIGHT SPECTRA PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

The OneLight Spectra provides high speed software control of output spectrum, intensity, exposure time and timing sequences. Output to existing equipment is highly configurable via fiber bundle, liquid light guide or free space optics. The application software allows users to control the instrument functions via a computer equipped with a standard USB 2.0 interface. A software Application Programming Interface (API) can be used to program custom applications.

Instantaneous dynamic control of color, exposure and intensity
Increased dynamic range of measurement
Increased measurement sensitivity
Elimination of filters and shutters
Elimination of repeated calibrations
Sequential loading of multiple spectra
Easy connectivity to existing equipment
