Request InfoApplied Scientific Instrumentation Inc.The Continuous Reflection Interface Sampling and Positioning system (CRISP) is designed to maintain focus over time, i.e., to compensate for thermal and other factors that may cause the sample to drift out of focus over time. It also can be used to maintain a given focal point while scanning the sample in XY. The CRISP system projects the image of a mask illuminated with an infrared LED into the sample plane. Only one half of the objective pupil is illuminated. This means that the point spread function of the objective is highly skewed, so that the reflected image of the mask will move...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPromoted Content September 2022 IssueCRISP Autofocus SystemThe Continuous Reflection Interface Sampling and Positioning system (CRISP) is designed to maintain focus over time, i.e., to compensate for thermal and other factors that may cause the sample to...Promoted Content November 2022 IssueRapid Automated Modular MicroscopeRapid Automated Modular Microscope is mounted on the RAMM frame that supports the microscope assembly and the stage in a manner that ensures close coupling between sample and objective to minimize...Promoted Content December 2022 IssueNEW 4-Wavelength LED IlluminationCoolLED has launched its new pE-400 Series Illumination Systems where sophisticated control combines with powerful illumination for cost-effective fluorescence microscopy, from routine to advanced...Promoted Content April 2024 IssueLife Science Imaging SolutionsAdvanced imaging solutions for OEM instrument makers and researchers pushing the limits of microscopy in life science.
