Cairn have supplied Fura-2 systems for three decades now. The company was founded on a photometry system comprising of a spinning filter wheel illuminated by a xenon arc light source.
More recently (last 18 years) we have been selling the Optoscan monochromator, still illuminated with a xenon arc light source, but using a diffraction grating mounted on a galvanometer. We introduced LED based Fura2 systems five years ago, but only with 360nm isosbestic ratioing (due to limitations in LED availability). We are delighted to now offer full 340nm / 380nm ratiometric Fura-2 imaging with integrated excitation filters. Similarly, the LED configuration for fura-8 is also available.
