Product news
The new ORCA-D2 from Hamamatsu Photonics is a new high-sensitivity camera for simultaneous dual wavelength imaging that features two CCD devices. The ORCA-D2 offers exceptional ease of use with optical setup steps such as image alignment and focusing. The ORCA-D2 also provides a wide field of view during dual wavelength imaging. The ORCA-D2 is suitable for wide variety of fluorescence microscopy applications including ratio imaging, FRET and dual wavelength TIRF.
The new ORCA-D2 was exhibited at both the 49th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology, San Diego Convention Center and the 32nd Annual Meeting of the Molecular Biology Society of Japan, Pacifico Yokohama.

Fluorescence SpectroscopyFluorometers and spectrofluorometers (also called fluorescence spectrometers) are used to measure the intensity and wavelength of fluorescent light emitted from a sample after excitation by illumination. Spectrofluorometers utilize monochromators to select the desired wavelengths, whereas filter fluorometers employ a set of filters. Spectrofluorometers for measuring steady-state fluorescence and lifetime fluorescence (or time-resolved fluorescence) are available, as well as fluorescence microscopes and microplate readers.

The two major instrument classes are single-beam or double-beam spectrophotometers. More specialized equipment includes colorimeters, spectroradiometers and refractometers. Portable and microvolume spectrophotometers are also available. For the modular spectroscopy lab, explore a range of light sources for combination with a spectrograph/spectrometer and optics.
