The Cairn Diamond is a cutting-edge Digital Micromirror Device (DMD)-based pattern illuminator designed for high-precision, high-speed, and highly versatile optical applications.
Capable of switching illumination patterns at rates of up to 22kHz, it provides precise control over where and how light is delivered onto a sample. This enables researchers to selectively target individual cells, defined regions, or complex multi-site patterns, making it ideal for optogenetics, photostimulation, advanced imaging, and widefield microscopy.
Supports a 22 mm field of view as standard, with an optional folded relay for the Nikon Ti2 increasing the field of view to 24 mm. Two independently controlled illumination paths enable simultaneous multi-wavelength and patterned illumination for optogenetics, photoactivation, photostimulation, and advanced imaging applications.
Cairns’s design ethos is based on compatibility across a wide range of manufacturers. In the rare case where we do not have a compatible part, we have a custom design team available to provide a solution.
We provide a comprehensive 12-month warranty on all our products.
We aim for a delivery time of 2-4 weeks. However, the specific delivery time will be confirmed at the point of order.
We offer full training and support across our entire product range.
Yes, we have full custom design capabilities and a multidisciplinary team of scientists and engineers available to provide a solution that meets your needs.
Our CellCams are supported in Micro-Manager.
