Product Description

The Sutter Instrument Lambda DG-5 is an ultra-high-speed wavelength switcher and light source designed for fluorescence microscopy, capable of switching between 5 different wavelengths in approximately 500 \(\mu \)s. It uses a 300 W xenon arc lamp, allowing fast, precise excitation changes, ideal for ratiometric imaging. The system integrates a filter changer and a light source, often utilizing a liquid light guide for coupling. 

Key Features and Specifications

Key Features and Specifications:
  • Wavelength Switching Speed: ≈500μs
  • Capacity: 5 positions for 25mm filters (usually filters, sometimes 18mm).
  • Light Source: 300 W xenon-arc lamp (ozone-free options available).
  • Output Range: Typically 330 nm - 650 nm.
  • Control: Computer controlled via parallel, serial, or USB (on newer plus models).
  • Compatibility: Compatible with MetaMorph and other imaging software
  • Application: Ideal for calcium imaging, FRET, and other fast, multi-wavelength experiments

The DG-5 is frequently used with SmartShutter technology to minimize photobleaching by controlling exposure times. It is designed for laboratory use, particularly for imaging with live animal tissues.
