Active Illumination Features and Benefits Unlimited flexibility in shape, size and complexity of illumination mask Simultaneous illumination of multiple regions of interest Precise illumination of areas of interest that protects target specimen and fluorophore Zero delta acquisition time for true digital excitation/illumination Longest lifetime and lowest maintenance with rugged semiconductor device DMD Technology The core of Mosaic is the Digital Micromirror Device (DMD), a high speed and highly efficient semiconductor-based light switch array of hundreds of thousands hinge-mounted, addressable, tiltable, microscopic mirrors. When a DMD chip is coordinated with a digital video or graphic signal, a light source, and beam delivery optics, its mirrors reflect a digital image of the illumination mask onto the sample. Mosaic Real Time Parallel Illumination of Multiple Regions Mosaic is a patented instrument platform built around MEMS Digital Mirror Devices (DMD). Mosaic exploits DMD in a proprietary programmable platform, integrated with scientific light sources including lasers, LEDs and arc lamps, and operates from 360 to 800 nm. It is offered with a range of high performance microscope adapter optics and can be integrated with CLSM, spinning disk and wide field imaging modalities. High speed frame switching (60 Hz) makes Mosaic suitable for many dynamic applications including bleaching, uncaging, photo-switching, optogenetics and constrained illumination. Variable intensity distributions can be achieved by rapid gating of mirror patterns.

Configuring Mosaic (Complementary Multicolour Illumination) Some photosensitive proteins can be activated with one wavelength of light and deactivated or silenced with another. This property is exploited in the Mosaic e.g. to sharpen control over protein localization. A second light source is coupled into the DMD at a complementary angle to the primary. In this configuration pixels NOT selected for activation define an inverse mask which can be illuminated to silence molecules outside of the activation region(s) or those diffusing away.
