Description

The MRK200 imaging system is completely modular and can be purchased as a complete system or purchased as individual units to accommodate other applications.  Individual units include a motorized XY platform, a camera tower with condenser and upper optics tube, and a gradient contrast optics assembly.

The complete MRK200 system uses our 200cr series stages for 50mm of X and Y travel, with 0.1μm resolution across the travel range with the MC2000 controller.  The large travel range maximizes access to the chamber and facilitates mounting of stereotaxic holders for in vivo experiments.

Large 12-inch x 12-inch platforms surround the center chamber platform, providing space for several manipulators.  The center platform is our 8090P with a PC-A adapter for our PC series perfusion chamber (one PC-H and one PC-R are included).

The modular optical path uses an eight station oil-immersion condenser and is supplied with a NIR band pass filter and polarizer.  The condenser is mounted to one of our 100cr stages and uses a 40TPI adjustment screw to move the condenser into position. 

The upper optics tube assembly is mounted to our 7700 series stage (50mm of travel) as a motorized focus drive.  This stage can be connected to our DR1000 digital read-out to facilitate returning to the focal plane.  The upper objective mount is a two position “flipper” to hold high and low magnification objectives. Above the objective flipper is a dichroic beam splitter tube assembly.  Inside of the assembly is a single position dichroic / emission filter mount. 

This mount can be slid into position for fluorescence experiments and out of the light path for gradient contrast imaging experiments.  On the opposite side (right) of the tube assembly is a port for a fiber supplied fluorescence light source and excitation filter.  Between the tube and camera is a 25mm optic port if other optics are desired.  The camera shown on these pages is not what we supply with the system, please call so we can discuss the best camera for your application.
