Request InfoEdmund Optics Inc.Modular fixed-power beam expanders from Edmund Optics offer high-performance optical designs in an optomechanical platform. Two full rotations of the focus knurl provide smooth movement for the optics to vary the output from collimated to the minimum focus distance of 1.2 m. The precise focusing mechanism keeps the optics from rotating and helps maintain boresight accuracy and a minimally aberrated focused beam. The expanders can be secured to both metric and English threaded mounts. Interchangeable 3×, 5×, 10×, 15× and 20× rear accessory attachments change the beam expander’s magnification.See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSBioPhotonics May/Jun 2023 IssueFemtosecond LaserThe Chromacity 920 laser source is designed for two-photon microscopy and the excitation of key fluorophores and calcium markers.
