U-UVF248: Deep Ultraviolet Observation System For Microscopes

High-magnification DUV real-time observation just by adding a new module to a new or existing Olympus Microscope.

Olympus has developed a new modular DUV (deep ultraviolet) imaging system. The NEW U-UVF248 provides fast, easy and efficient imaging in either white light or high magnification DUV. Imaging is performed by using the standard 15 frames per second image converter or with the Olympus series of image analysis solutions.

Advanced Flexibility

Easily add DUV to MX series inspection microscopes
The U-UVF248 is a standard mechanical system that can be fitted directly to existing or new microscopes. For optimum performance all DUV imaging system should be used on a vibration isolation platform.

Modular design for improved performance and safety
The U-UVF248 uses a flexible modular design that provides improved safety to your sensitive specimen. The imaging module uses a remote light source with unique intensity control to minimize heat transition to your specimen. The illumination is carried out with a special fiber optic that provides convenient location of the light source and its control.

Digital camera control from computer
The recommended high-resolution UV digital camera is compatible with the IEEE1394 interface for fast image display. Using the image analysis software analySIS FIVE, the camera can be controlled by computer. Images transferred to the computer can be seamlessly processed, analyzed and quantified for easy databasing and report preparation.

Economical Solution

Compact and low-cost
The DUV intermediate tube is simple and does not have any operating parts. Largely thanks to separation of the lamp housing, the U-UVF248 microscope system is about half the size and weight of conventional DUV microscope systems — and also half the cost.

High Resolution

Bright high contrast DUV images
The DUV imaging band 248 ± 4 nm is completely corrected to prevent and residual chromatic aberration. The use of specialized optical materials and efficient design allow for the brightest images available at this performance enhancing wavelength with some customer reporting result of 0.08 micron image details.

Exposure resistant design
The new "non-cemented " technology provides for a long-term solution that is not impacted by the normal deterioration found in other DUV lenses. This exciting technology allows you to use your DUV module trouble free for years with no impact in performance.

Safety for visible light optics and operator
The module utilizes an ingenuous box shutter to direct illumination to either the DUV lens or the white light optics. This protect you valuable white light objectives as well as your operators.

Long-lasting mercury xenon lamp
DUV irradiation is provided by a long-life mercury xenon lamp (1000 hours average lifetime), reducing running costs and minimizing lamp exchange.
