Optem® FUSION Focus Module Overview

The Optem® FUSION Focus Module is a device for motorized Z-axis motion, complete with a stepper motor and limit switches. The Optem® FUSION Focus Module also interfaces with Optem® FUSION fixed magnification or zoom tube lenses, and the Optem® FUSION 1.5A or 3A Illuminator. The module includes a 50/50 beamsplitter to couple the illuminator to the optical path. The Optem® FUSION Focus Module is available in two variants, one supporting visible wavelengths (400-700nm) and one supporting NIR/SWIR wavelengths (633-1700nm). The Optem® FUSION Focus Module should be used in conjunction with Optem® FUSION lower lenses or microscope objectives.

WARNING! Do not look at the light emitted from the Optem® FUSION Focus Module, when a high power illuminator is enabled. Under some circumstances, the high intensity light could cause eye injury. Photosensitive individuals may be affected by strobe lighting, which can lead to epileptic seizures or other undesirable sensations.
The Optem® FUSION Focus Module is controlled by the Optem® FUSION Controller, which provides the unit with power and also controls the Optem® FUSION Focus Module z-position.

Intended Use

The Optem® FUSION Focus Module is intended to be used as a component within a microscope system such as the Optem® FUSION micro-imaging lens system. The Optem® FUSION Focus Module should be used in conjunction with Optem® FUSION lower lenses or microscope objectives.

Regulatory compliance
The Optem® FUSION Focus Module has been tested and certified to comply with the IEC 61326-1:2012/EN 61326-1:2013 Basic Electromagnetic Environment Emissions & Immunity for Measurement, Control, and Laboratory Use Electrical Equipment. It also complies with IEC 61010-1/EN 61010-1:2010/A1:2019 Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control, and Laboratory Use.

NOTE: If the product is modified or changed, the FCC and/or CE approval becomes invalid. In this case, you are responsible for ensuring product conformity.

Changes to Excelitas Technologies Products
Excelitas Technologies reserves the right to improve, change, or modify products without incurring any obligations to make changes to previous Excelitas Technologies equipment.
