High Resolution OpticsHigh Resolution Optics

The secret behind the HR-1's high resolution is its dual 24-bit converters combined with high quality optics. Samples sit directly above a single microvolume fluorimeter equipped with an LED light source used for fluorescence excitation. Measurement of light is extremely fast and sensitive because of the high quality optics, specialized light source, filter system, and glass capillaries which focus most of the emitted light on the tip of the capillary.
