On Stand Workshop - Stand 5
The 'openFrame' modular microscope platform enables stable microscopes to be designed and built to solve specialist applications, without compromise. We will demonstrate a simple and compact implementation to showcase the sectioning capabilities of the Bliq Photonics SPARQ combined with an affordable laser combiner and sensitive CMOS camera.
Based on patented HiLo technology, SPARQ rapidly removes out-of-focus elements using two differently illuminated images that are mathematically processed. SPARQ leverages the structure inherent in the speckle that naturally occurs when illuminating with coherent light to achieve high quality structured illumination to enhance resolution and optical sectioning.
Borne of a collaboration between Cairn Research and the Photonics group at Imperial College London, the core 'openFrame' is a sustainable extensible, easily-maintained, open-source microscope platform. In addition to manufacturing open source components, Cairn Research Ltd and Cairn GmbH have designed proprietary modules to further enhance the eco-system.
