Hamamatsu's new ORCA-D2 dual CCD
camera
captures simultaneous dual wavelength images with a full field of view, even when the intensities differ
significantly. The ORCA-D2's unique combination of simultaneous dual wavelength imaging,
selectable wavelengths, and wide field of view is not found in other
approaches to dual wavelength imaging. In addition, this camera provides automatic correction of focus, alignments, and color shifting to produce high-quality images. Designed around two CCDs each with 1.3 million pixels and 6.45 µm pixel pitch, the ORCA-D2 utilizes an interchangeable optical block to divert light towards the CCDs. This camera is suitable for various microscopy applications, including ratio imaging, single and dual wavelength fluorescence microscopy, FRET, blue to NIR fluorescence applications, colocalization and FISH applications, dual wavelength TIRF microscopy, real-time confocal microscopy, combined transmission and fluorescence imaging, and multi-focal point imaging. Available in spring 2010. For more info, go to





The Lambda XL is a broad spectrum, highly stable light source (1% peak-to-peak fluctuations) with lamp life expected to last in excess of 10,000 hours. The light intensity can be adjusted to different levels of attenuation and liquid light guide connections assure output uniformity in the field of view.
Face-to-face collaboration between researchers and product developers at SPIE events provides the framework from which to see the latest technology shifts and experience the evolving global marketplace. SPIE events generate more than 20,000 innovation-rich papers per year and attract more than 41,000 attendees to 300 conferences and 25 exhibitions worldwide.

Remtec, Inc. provides a reliable single-source solution for high- power laser diode submounts combining a burr-free Zero Pullback™ copper metallization of 25 to 75 µm with an economical gold-tin finish. The 3 to 12 µm thick gold tin alloy composition varies from 72/28 to 80/20. Submounts are produced on BeO and AlN ceramics using Remtec's time-proven PCTF® (Plated Copper on Thick Film) technology. A barrier metal under an AuSn layer prevents gold enrichment, and a protective cap layer is applied on the AuSn layer to avoid oxidation and provide void-free solder joints. A combination of an inexpensive thick film technology, with an economical copper and gold-tin plating process, results in substantially lower cost than thin film submounts using a base metallization with gold-tin deposited via evaporation or sputtering processes. PCTF manufacturing technology and processes enable Remtec to offer lower cost laser diodes without any compromise in performance or quality. For more information, visit
