Switch Box Kit

1,00 

The Switch Box Kit is an accessory for the NIGHTSEA Model SFA Stereo Microscope Fluorescence Adapter. It enables you to mount two different wavelength excitation light heads on your microscope and switch between them easily. You will still need to manually change the barrier filter, but it eliminates the need to swap out light heads on the gooseneck.

Description

How does this work?_x000D_ The switch box kit consists of:_x000D_ – BNC Switch box_x000D_ – Three BNC cables_x000D_ – Two Light Head Hangers_x000D_ One BNC cable connects the SFA gooseneck lamp base to the input connector on the rear of the Switch Box. The other two cables connect the Switch Box outputs to the two light heads. Use the selector switch on the front of the Switch Box to select between the two light heads. The Light Head Hangers mount your light heads on the SFA adapter ring on the microscope._x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_

_x000D_ (Note – Light heads not included with kit. Any of the BNC light heads can be used with the kit.)_x000D_ The Light Head Hangers mount to the end of any of the thumbscrews on the SFA adapter ring. They are available in long and short pivot arm versions for use with long and short working distance microscopes._x000D_ – Long working distance (LWD) – 6.3 cm (2.5 in.) and greater_x000D_ – Short working distance (SWD) – 6.3 – 4.6 cm. (2.5 – 1.8 in.)_x000D_ Note that the Switch Box Kit is available only for SFA systems that use the BNC light head connector, and not the older V1 connector._x000D_ _x000D_ What is the benefit?_x000D_ _x000D_ This accessory simplifies the process of switching between excitation wavelengths. You can have two different excitation sources mounted simultaneously and select between them with the flip of the selector switch. You will still need to manually change the barrier filter, but the overall switching process is speeded up and simplified.
