Name of the Equipment

Light Emitting Diode Fluorimeter (Uranium Analyser)

Model Name M/s UA-01
Make Quantalase

Excitation source -   LEDs
Wavelength of emission -   As required by the user. Wavelength can be selected between 200nm to 500 nm.
Bandwidth of emission -   Typically 10-20 nm.
Pulse duration -   Between 2 to 50 microsecs. To be set by operater.

Description: Fluorimeter

Major Applications  
Details of Sample Analysis Fluorimeters which use banks of pulsed LEDs to excite fluorescence in sample under study. The wavelength, pulse duration and peak power of the LED output can be set to match the excitation requirements of the sample.  The fluorescence is detected by a pulsed photomultiplier. Suitable filters after the LEDs and before the photomultiplier tube prevent LED light from reaching the photomultiplier tube directly. The filters can be broad band coloured glass filters or multilayer narrow band filters. The instrument is controlled by a microcontroller which pulses the LEDs and photomultiplier tube.

Name of the Equipment

Phase Contrast Microscope

Model Name Eclips 201, 2012
Make M/s Nikkon
Specification Episcopic illumination models: ECLIPSE LV150N (manual control types)

Phase Contrast Microscope

Major Applications Phase contrast, by "converting" phase specimens such as living material into amplitude specimens, allowed scientists to see details in unstained and/or living objects with a clarity and resolution never before achieved.
Details of Sample Analysis Unstained specimens that do not absorb light are called phase objects because they slightly alter the phase of the light diffracted by the specimen, usually by retarding such light approximately 1/4 wavelength as compared to the un deviated direct light passing through or around the specimen unaffected. Unfortunately, our eyes as well as camera film, are unable to detect these phase differences. To reiterate, the human eye is sensitive only to the colors of the visible spectrum (variations in light frequency) or to differing levels of light intensity (variations in wave amplitude). In phase specimens, the direct zeroth order light passes through or around the specimen undeviated. However, the light diffracted by the specimen is not reduced in amplitude as it is in a light-absorbing object, but is slowed by the specimen because of the specimen's refractive index or thickness (or both). This diffracted light, lagging behind by approximately 1/4 wavelength, arrives at the image plane out of step (also termed out of phase) with the undeviated light but, in interference, essentially undiminished in intensity. The result is that the image at the eyepiece level is so lacking in contrast as to make the details almost invisible.
