Keysight MLC400B Monolithic Laser Combiner Laser-Based Illumination System for Microscopy/Cell Biology Data Sheet Overview Keysight Technologies, Inc. MLC400B monolithic laser combiner is a stable, reliable, and easy-to-use laser-based illumination system that is ideally suited for fluorescence and confocal microscopy research in cellular biology. The MLC400B is permanently aligned before leaving the factory, and never needs realignment, making it a reliable light source at multiple wavelengths, with minimal downtime for maintenance. An acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) provides fast switching between different combinations of wavelengths and powers. Additional laser lines can be added to the MLC400B, as research needs change. Stable, reliable and easy-to-use Keysight's proprietary complex monolithic optic (CMO) technology bundles multiple beam-combining optics into a single, permanently aligned optical structure. The CMO design reduces the number of exposed beam-combination surfaces that are subject to contamination and require subsequent cleaning. The beam is delivered to the microscope by a single-mode, polarization-maintaining fiber-coupled delivery system via a proprietary fixed mounting system that keeps the beam-steering optics permanently aligned. Environmental changes that commonly occur in laboratories, such as temperature, airflow, and bench top vibration, do not affect the MLC400B. The beam-combining and beam-steering optics in the MLC400B are fully integrated with the beam delivery architecture to ensure stable, reliable power, day-after-day. Dual-port output The MLC400B can be configured with an optional dual-port output for switching between different microscope systems or switching between different illumination paths on the same microscope system. The dual-port option enables experiments such as TIRF/FRAP where continuous switching is required. This dual-port option allows the laser output to be switched from one fiber to another with a rise time of less than 1 ms at a frequency of up to 30 Hz. The switching mechanism in the dual- port option is incorporated into the same alignment-free optical assembly as in the standard beam combiner. Super resolution imaging The MLC400B can also be configured for super resolution imaging applications. A selection of extra-high-power laser wavelengths
