The AOBS is a single device that uses an optical crystal to provide selective spectral reflection and transmission characteristics, which result from waves induced within the crystal by a mechanical transducer. With its high-efficiency SP detection (five channels simultaneously) and the optional AOBS (Acousto-Optical Beam Splitter), the system. AOBS – The Most Versatile Beam Splitter ® Acousto-Optical Beam Splitter for the TCS SP8 Confocal • High transparency and narrow excitation bands increase cell viability and reduce photobleaching. • The freely programmable AOBS perfectly adapts to challenging multicolor experiments, new laser lines. This article explains the operation and application of acousto-optic modulators (AOMs). After explaining the working principle, it explains key performance aspects such as diffraction efficiency, contrast ratio, switching time, and required RF power, including important trade-offs. Right: the AOBS® is electronically adaptable to all tasks. These beamlets can be switched on and off individually, and the beam.
