Light Head Hanger

1,00 

The Light Head Hanger system is an accessory for the NIGHTSEA Stereo Microscope Fluorescence Adapter. It is a combination of power extension cables and custom made holders that enables you to take the fluorescence excitation light heads off the gooseneck and mount them directly on the SFA adapter ring. In addition, it provides the capability to drive two light heads from one lamp base.

Description

How does this work?_x000D_ The extension cables plug into the gooseneck lamp base and can bring power to either one or two light heads._x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_

_x000D_  _x000D_ _x000D_ What is the benefit?_x000D_ _x000D_ There are two main potential benefits with this new accessory:_x000D_ _x000D_ Increase excitation intensity without buying a second lamp base_x000D_ Until now if you wanted to increase the fluorescence excitation intensity of the SFA system you would need to buy a second light head and lamp base. This would take up additional real estate on your laboratory bench. With the Light Head Hanger system you can power two light heads from one base and mount them both directly to the NIGHTSEA adapter ring._x000D_ _x000D_ “We had some issue detecting red fluorescent proteins with some of our weaker transgenic zebrafish lines, but by shining two LED lights onto the same embryo, most of our weakest GFP and mCherry transgenic lines can now be detected. One light head was fine for reasonably bright specimens, and with two lights, the fluorescence is nearly the same as traditional stereomicroscopes priced $15-20K.”_x000D_ _x000D_ Reduce the chance of accidentally bumping the light_x000D_ Taking the light head off the gooseneck and mounting it directly to our microscope adapter reduces the chance of the light head being bumped so that it is not illuminating the subject on the microscope stage to best effect. This might be especially valuable if you are using the system for outreach demonstrations and multiple people will be working around the microscope._x000D_ _x000D_ What are the options, part numbers and pricing?_x000D_ _x000D_ Abbreviations: HK – Hanger Kit, DHK – Dual Hanger Kit, L or LWD – long working distance, S or SWD – short working distance_x000D_ _x000D_ Hanger Kit for single light head _x000D_ – Includes single Light Head Cable and one Light Head Hanger_x000D_ – SFA-HK-L – Single hanger kit, LWD_x000D_ – SFA-HK-S – Single hanger kit, SWD_x000D_ _x000D_ Hanger Kit for dual light heads _x000D_ – Includes Dual Light Head Cable and two Light Head Hangers_x000D_ – SFA-DHK-L – Dual hanger kit, LWD_x000D_ – SFA-DHK-S – Dual hanger kit, SWD_x000D_ _x000D_ Light head hanger_x000D_ – SFA-LHH-L – LWD arms_x000D_ – SFA-LHH-S – SWD arms_x000D_ _x000D_ Dual light power cable_x000D_ – SFA-DLHC_x000D_ _x000D_ Single light power cable _x000D_ – SFA-LHC_x000D_ _x000D_ Note that if you are ordering a Dual kit to power two light heads at once for increased intensity you will need to have two light heads of the same color.
