Dual-Channel Confocal Fluorescence Imaging Kit:Many fluorescence applications use multiple dyes to enhancecontrast and differentiate specific cell structures or quantifymetabolic processes (Fig. 3). Thorlabs has developed a Dual-Channel Confocal Fluorescence Imaging Kit (VCMK-F) for easyassembly of a confocal fluorescence imaging system that providestwo wavelength excitation (406 nm and 473 nm) and detection(405 nm and 561 nm). Figure 4 demonstrates configuration of theVCMK-F components for dual-channel fluorescence imaging.Please call or refer to our website for details and custom options.
