Microscopes: SVM340 Synchronized Video Microscope Options

LabSmith's SVM340 Synchronized Video Microscope (inverted fluorescence microscope) capture still images and video for microfluidics and microbiology.Camera Modules

The snap-in camera modules for the SVM340 include a CCD camera, optional fluorescence filter and threading for standard DIN microscope objective:

Black and White Module High sensitivity analog black & white camera with 640 x 480 pixels, 600 lines of resolution, 30 frames per second.

Color Module Bayer-pattern analog color camera with 640 x 480 pixels, 490 lines of resolution, 30 frames per second, S-Video output.

Illumination Options

The SVM340 illuminator offers four selectable LED channels which can be used independently or simultaneously. You can specify the color for each channel from the following LED wavelengths:

Blue: 464-476 nm
Green
: 520-535 nm
Red
: 615-636 nm
White

Custom wavelengths are also available.

Filter Options

The SVM uses 12.5 mm diameter long pass filters. Filters are available through LabSmith in wavelengths of 515nm, 530nm, 550nm, 570nm, 590nm, 610nm, 630nm and 665nm.

Objective Options

The SVM accepts standard DIN objectives and can accommodate magnifications up to 20X. The following objectives are available trhough LabSmith:

Power Numerical Aperture Working Distance Focal Length Field of View
4X 0.10 15.97 mm 31.0 mm 1.5 x 1.5 mm
10X 0.25 6.3 mm 16.76 mm 0.6 x 0.6 mm
20X 0.40 3.3 mm 8.55 mm 0.3 x 0.3 mm

Stage Plate Options

The standard stainless steel stage plate has a 50 x 75 mm opening for easy sample viewing. An optional plate is available with two openings of 20 x 32 mm and 22 x 66 mm for smaller chips.

Suggested Options for Typical Applications

The SVM340 illuminator and filter options can be configured for particular applications. For example, when working with fluorescein particles the SVM340 illuminator can be equipped with one channel of white LEDs (to view the channels and chip during setup) and three blue LED channels (to excite the fluorescein particles). A 530 nm filter and black & white camera are also suggested.
