Scientifica MDU XL multiphoton detection unit

Scientifica’s multiphoton detection unit, the MDU XL, is optimised for multiphoton imaging in deep, scattering tissue. It has been optimised to deliver crisp and deep images.

The MDU XL has been found to enable up to 35% more efficient light collection than the standard MDU, in multiphoton imaging experiments involving up to two colours. It is also said to exhibit a superior signal-to-noise ratio as a means of acquiring a higher calibre of data.

The product can be fitted with two photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) in order to facilitate the collection of photons from two simultaneous channels and is compatible with a number of large back aperture objectives. It can be fitted with up to two gated or protected GaAsP PMTs to maximise sensitivity.

The detection unit incorporates compatibility with M32, M27, M25 and RMS threaded objectives. Its primary detection dichroic has dimensions of 60 x 40 x 1 mm and its collection lens has a diameter of 45 mm.
