Models DPC-BA and DPC-MA Detectors
 

Model DPC-BA DetectorThe Model DPC-BA & DPC-MA Detector Modules are complete detector assemblies that contain a photon-counting photomultiplier tube in a compact enclosure with C-mount threads for easy microscope mounting. The Detector Module is designed for high-sensitivity photometry detection.  Light enters the Detector Module directly through a C-mount adapter. The C-mount adapter may be directly coupled to a microscope or attached to a fiber optic light guide. The light guide provides maximum flexibility for interfacing the detector to a cuvette assembly, a surface fluorescence probe or other custom user-specific devices. The detector output can be coupled to the Model DPC or PC-DAQ Controllers which reside in your PC. Together with our FluorMeasureTM software, the unit performs sensitive photon counting detection.

The Model DPC-BA and DPC-MA Detector Modules can be purchased as part of a complete fluorometer / photon-counting system or separately to serve as a stand-alone detection system. They can also be added to fluorescence imaging systems to provide a faster and more sensitive means of fluorescence detection and quantitation.  A calibrated iris is included to adjust the input light level. The mount also includes a threaded holder for 1" or 25mm optics or filters. Other mounts are also available.

Connections to the Detector Module are made from the back of the assembly.  A BNC connector provides TTL output pulses for easy interface to our Model PC-DAQ controller or our Model DPC Digital Photon Counting System.  The Detector Module is powered by a +5 Volt supply which is included.
