Polygon 1000
Larger Field-of-View, Finer Resolution
New large DMD chip combined with interchangeable front tube optics enables larger field-of-view without comprising resolution and power.
Faster than Anything Else in the Market
Increased maximum frame rate means better temporal resolution for advanced physiologically-relevant experiments and virtually simultaneous 2-colour illumination of distinct ROIs.
Real-Time Projection, Closed-Loop Experiments
Faster uploading time enables the Polygon1000 to perform real-time pattern illumination for closed-loop experiments (faster than HDMI refresh rates [60Hz/120Hz]).
More Power, Extra Flexibility
Large chip and improved optics enhances transmission efficiency enabling the Polygon1000 to achieve increased power density at the specimen level giving the researcher more room for intensity control.
Polygon1000-G
The Polygon1000-G is a flexible solution for patterned illumination, as this patterned illuminator can be used with any lightsource (350-700nm) that accepts a 3mm core lightguide. Thus, the Polygon1000-G provides future flexibility for different wavelengths and lightsources, depending on your application.
- Wavelengths: 350-700nm
- Lightsource: lightguide-coupled
- Interchangeable front tubes available for fine resolution or large field-of-view
Key Applications: Neuroscience Optogenetics, Cell Biology Optogenetics, Photoactivation, Photoconversion
Polygon1000-DL
The Polygon1000-DL is a flexible solution for large field of view or high-power patterned illumination applications, as this patterned illuminator can be used with any fiber-coupled lightsource (400-700nm), such as high-power lasers. This Polygon1000 model has been designed for high-power applications, such as in vivo optogenetics.
- Wavelengths: 400-700nm
- Lightsource: fiber-coupled
- Interchangeable front tubes available for fine resolution or large field-of-view
Key Applications: In Vivo Optogenetics, Cortex-Wide Optogenetics, Photoactivation
