Product Overview

The Olympus U-DPCAD is a dual port C-mount camera adapter that allows two cameras to be mounted simultaneously on Olympus BX, CX, and IX series microscopes. A built-in mirror slider mechanism provides two operating modes: in switched mode, the slider directs 100% of the available light to one camera port or the other — maximizing light throughput for each camera independently. In spectral separation mode, a beam-splitting element divides the emission light by wavelength, routing spectrally distinct signals to each camera simultaneously — enabling true two-channel simultaneous fluorescence acquisition without the temporal artifacts introduced by sequential filter switching. This makes the U-DPCAD particularly valuable for live cell imaging experiments where rapid or simultaneous dual-channel capture is required. The adapter accepts standard C-mount cameras at both ports and integrates directly with the existing optical path of BX, CX, and IX series microscopes. This unit is in demonstration model condition at a significant discount from the list price.

Typical Applications

Simultaneous dual-channel fluorescence imaging — two spectrally separated fluorophores captured at the same time
Live cell imaging — eliminating temporal artifacts from sequential channel switching in dynamic experiments
FRET (Förster resonance energy transfer) imaging requiring simultaneous donor and acceptor channel capture
Ratiometric imaging — calcium indicators, pH sensors, and other ratio-based fluorescent probes
Dual-modality workflows — brightfield on one port, fluorescence on the other, switched via mirror slider
