Features:
- Adapts Specific Shutter Housing Types to a Zeiss Type Microscope
- No Modification to the Microscope Should Be Necessary
- Filter Area to Allow User to Install an Optical Filter Between Light Source and Shutter Housing
The Vincent #21 Zeiss Axiovert Microscope Mount Set adapts specific shutter housing types to a Zeiss type microscope configured with
the Zeiss type Axiovert Ring Dovetail Mounts. No modification to the microscope should be necessary. A
filter area is also provided to allow the user to install an optical filter between the light source and the shutter
housing.
The #21 Vincent Zeiss Axiovert Microscope Mount Set may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
Functions
This mount set mechanically and optically integrates a UniBlitz shutter into a Zeiss Axiovert microscope system. It precisely aligns the shutter within the optical path, enabling controlled light exposure for applications such as fluorescence imaging, photobleaching, or time-lapse microscopy. Its design ensures stable attachment and maintains the optical integrity of the microscope, facilitating repeatable and synchronized light modulation for scientific experimentation.
Platforms
Integrates high-speed electronic shutters into Zeiss Axiovert inverted microscope systems for fluorescence imaging applications. Mounts between microscope body and illumination port, providing precise temporal control of excitation light. Hardware platform consists of precision-machined aluminum adapter plates matching Zeiss port specifications, supporting both epi-fluorescence and transmitted light configurations. Enables millisecond-range exposure control for live cell imaging, ratio imaging, FRAP experiments, and high-speed calcium imaging. Compatible with mercury, xenon, and LED light sources. The housed versions of the VS, LS, and XRS series shutters, as well as the CS25 and CS35, can be configured with this mount set type.
Applications
Enables high-speed optical shuttering and light modulation for fluorescence microscopy, time-lapse imaging, and live cell imaging on Zeiss Axiovert inverted microscope platforms. Facilitates precise temporal control of illumination for calcium imaging, FRAP experiments, optogenetics, and ratio imaging applications. Supports automated image acquisition sequences requiring millisecond exposure control for reducing phototoxicity and photobleaching in sensitive biological samples. Compatible with transmitted light, epifluorescence, and confocal imaging modalities for cell biology, neuroscience, and developmental biology research applications.
