BLS-Series Manual & Trigger Mode LED Controllers
1, 2 Channels; 9-48 VDC; 1-18 A; Interface 0-5 V Analog; Max. Modulation Frequency 3-100 kHz; Current Accuracy ±3%
Mightex’s BLS-Series LED controllers are designed for driving Mightex LED light sources, including Type-H super high power LED light sources (BLS-13000 and BLS-18000 models). All BLS-Series LED controllers have two operation modes:
Manual Mode: the user can control the output current by manually turning a knob
Trigger Mode: the output current can be controlled via an external analog input signal between 0 V and 5 V
The control mode is selected with a slide switch on the front panel, and the factory default is “manual” mode.
High-speed, two-channel models BLS-1000-2 and BLS-3000-2 feature a high modulation speed of up to 100 kHz for BLS-1000-2 and up to 50 kHz for BLS-300-2. High-current, single-channel models BLS-13000 and BLS-18000 feature maximum output driving currents of 13,000 mA (BLS-13000) and 18,000 mA (BLS-18000) with a modulation speed of 3 kHz.
BLS-1000-2 and BLS-3000-2 provide DIP switches for maximum current selection on the rear panel, which allow the user to set the maximum output current of the channel to 500/750/1,000 mA for BLS-1000-2, and 1,000/2,000/3,000 mA for BLS-3000-2, respectively. The factory default is set to 500 mA for BLS-1000-2 and 1,000 mA for BLS-3000-2, respectively.
When the LED controller is set to “trigger” mode, the output current is fully controlled by the input analog signal (0-5 V).

C-Series 1/2” CCD cameras have built-in frame buffers, global shutter, external trigger-in, strobe-out, and a powerful camera engine that supports multiple cameras. The frame rate can be as high as 15 fps in full resolution and up to 80 fps using ROI mode.
In addition, a user-friendly GUI based application software and an SDK are provided for custom software development. A USB command set protocol is also provided for non-Windows based applications.
Available models are:
CCN-C013-U: colour, board-level
CCE-C013-U: colour, enclosed
CCN-B013-U: B/W, board-level
CCE-B013-U: B/W, enclosed
Note: Board-level cameras are designed for OEM applications, when a system-level enclosure is usually provided. In order to avoid electro-static discharge (ESD) related damages, workforce handling a board-level camera should be properly grounded. ESD related damages are considered as mishandling and are not covered by product warranty. For lab use, it is strongly recommended to choose an enclosed camera instead of a board-level one.

DCC-010-005 Direct-Coupling Collimators
SMA Connector; 185-2100 nm; Focal Length 10 mm; Clear Aperture 5 mm; f# 2; Numerical Aperture 0.24
Mightex’s DCC-010-005 series of direct-coupling collimators are used to either coupling light from free space into a spectrometer or collimating light from a point light source to form a collimated (parallel) optical beam.
Direct-coupling collimators are key components with numerous applications. For example, in spectroscopy, a direct coupling collimator can collect light in a narrow field of view into a spectrometer. In another example one collimator is connected to a point light source and the collimated beam passes through a cuvette. On the other side of the cuvette a second collimator couples light directly into a spectrometer.
To maximize transmission wavelength range, Mightex DCC-010-005 direct-coupling collimators feature a single BK7 (DCC-010-005-V, 350 to 2000 nm) or UV fused silica lens (DCC-010-005-U, 185 to 2100 nm) without optical coating. The DCC-010-005 series collimator housing is machined from aluminium alloy for maximum durability. The collimators feature an internal SMA thread for direct connecting to spectrometers with popular SMA input ports
When installed on a spectrometer, the full field of view (FOV) or full divergence angle can be calculated as FOV = 2atan(W/2f) where W is the width of the entrance slit of the spectrometer and f is the focal length of the lens. Alternatively, the linear field of view on an object placed a distance L away from the collimator is W(L/f). Focusing of the collimator is adjustable for object distance between 50 mm and infinity.
Key Features:
Wavelength Range: 350 to 2000 nm (DCC-010-005-V with BK7 Lens), 185 to 2100 nm (DCC-010-005-U with UV Fused Silica Lens)

Deep UV LCS-Series Collimated LED Light Sources
Deep UV; 265-340 nm; 2.03-3.6 W; Iop 350-600 mA; Vop 4.3-6.3 V; Typ. Output Power 15-35 mW
Mightex’s deep UV LCS-Series of collimated LED light sources cover the wavelength range between 240 nm and 340 nm and employ a high-NA (numerical aperture) aspherical collimating lens for precision collimation and high light throughput.
A LED collimator consists of a collimating lens and a LED emitter. The LED emitter is placed at the focal plane of the collimating lens. The collimating lens thus images the LED emitter into infinity.
LED collimators can be used as the light source in an illumination system. For example, LED collimators can replace the standard lamp assembly in a microscope to provide stable, intense, and fast-modulated illumination. Typically, the rest of the illumination optics will image the LED emitter onto the pupil of the imaging optics whereas the lens aperture on the collimator where intensity is uniform will be projected onto the object. In other illumination applications, similar arrangement should be made to produce uniform and efficient illumination.
The LED emitters of the deep UV LCS-Series collimated LED light sources are mounted directly onto the metal base of the collimator which also features an integrated heat sink. This configuration minimizes thermal resistance between the LED emitter and the heat sink resulting in better heat dissipation. The collimating lens can be adjusted if needed for precise collimation. A locking ring fixes the lens position after adjustment. The collimators have been pre-adjusted in the factory.
The LED collimators include a 1.5-meter cable with two bare-wire terminals at the end for universal LED controllers. The light sources can be driven by Mightex LED controllers or other LED controllers and current sources.
WARNING: Due to low current ratings, certain Type-D deep UV LCS-Series collimated LEDs should only be controlled using the LED controllers SLA-0100-2 or SLC-FAxxIn addition to using the correct LED controllers listed above, an appropriate current range must be set according to the LED’s current rating, in order to properly protect the highly delicate deep UV LED. LED damage due to over-driving is not covered by Mightex’s product warranty.

FFC-Series High-power Fiber-coupled LED Light Sources
Filtered LED Module; 240-940 nm; Typical Radiant Flux 0.008-6 mW; Iop 0.025-1 A; Vop 2.1-10 V
Mightex’s FFC-Series of filtered high-power fiber-coupled LED light sources employ the latest high-power LED technologies and a proprietary coupling optics to achieve maximum optical output power. The series’ optical output is coupled into a fiber through a standard SMA fiber adapter port (SMA fiber patchcords are sold separately).
Users may insert an optical filter into the light source to tailor the light source’s output spectrum and intensity to their needs. Example applications include fluorescence excitation with a bandpass filter, wavelength selection from a white LED, attenuating intensity with a neutral density filter, and polarized output with a polarizer.
Filters are not included in standard FFC products. Maximum filter diameter is 1”(25.4mm) and minimum diameter is 12mm. Maximum filter thickness is 5mm. Filters with diameters of 1” or 25mm can be directly loaded into the filter holder. Smaller filters may need an adapter.
FFC-Series filtered LED light sources also feature a locking electrical connector for secured connection. FFC-Series are designed as a universal light source for general lab use and OEM applications. The one-piece machined housing features multiple mounting holes.

FilterReader Spectrophotometers
350-720 nm; Dynamic Range >1000:1; Interface USB 2.0; 241.5 x 108 x 48.5 mm
Ever wondered what’s in your filter cube? FilterReader spectrophotometers will give you the answer in a few seconds.
Identifying and confirming transmission characteristics of filters and beam splitters used in fluorescence microscopy is often critical, especially when troubleshooting a system or an experiment. To address this need, Mightex has developed the FilterReader series, unique mini spectrophotometers specifically designed for measuring spectral transmission of excitation filters, dichroic beam splitters, and emission filters.
A high-resolution CCD spectrograph coupled with a solid-state light source provides high dynamic range measurements in a compact package. A sample cart holds excitation filters and emission filters at vertical position, and beam splitters at a 45° angle.
The two FilterReader spectrophotometer models FRD-350-AU and FRD-385-AU are fully integrated spectrophotometer with the footprint of a book. All one needs is a PC to run the control software, which communicates with the FilterReader via a USB interface.
FilterReader software guides users through an intuitive workflow which leads to the measurement results after a few clicks. Results can be displayed in spectral transmission or optical density. Measurements of filters and beam splitters can be overlaid on a single chart. Various data saving and chart printing functions are supported.
Unlike traditional spectrophotometers, FilterReader spectrophotometers are small enough to be easily stored when not in use. The solid-state light source in the FilterReader also ensures a trouble-free use for years without the need to change the light source.

High-power LCS-Series Collimated LED Light Sources
UV-NIR; 365-980 nm; 0.84-15 W; Iop 350-3,500 mA; Vop 1.4-15.5 V; Typ. Output Power 30-1,500 mW
Mightex’s high-power LCS-Series of collimated LED light sources employ a high-NA (numerical aperture) aspherical collimating lens for precision collimation and high light throughput. Four mechanically differing sub-series with clear apertures of 11, 22, 38 and 48 mm are available.
A LED collimator consists of a collimating lens and a LED emitter. The LED emitter is placed at the focal plane of the collimating lens. The collimating lens thus images the LED emitter into infinity.

The LED collimators include a 1.5-meter cable with two bare-wire terminals at the end for universal LED controllers. Models with 22 or 48 mm clear aperture are also available connectorized for Mightex BLS-Series LED controllers. The light sources can be driven by Mightex LED controllers or other LED controllers and current sources.
An optional focusing module can be mounted on the front of the LED collimator to focus light into a tight spot which is an image of the LED emitter. One of the applications with the focusing module is coupling LED light into a fiber or a lightguide.
Additional interchangeable collimating lenses are available to produce different beam sizes with the same light source.

200-1050 nm; Resolution 0.15-9.7 nm Depending on Slit Width; Integration Time 0.1-6,500 ms; Interface and Power Supply USB 2.0; Dimensions 138 x 108 x 37 mm
Compact CCD spectrometers are widely used in process control, environment monitoring, and scientific research applications. Mightex’s HRS-Series of compact high-resolution and high-stability CCD spectrometers features a 100 mm Czerny-Turner optical platform coupled with a Toshiba 3648-element CCD array. The optimized optical path yields both high spectral resolution and high light collection efficiency.
Wavelength and amplitude stability is often a critical requirement for many spectrometer applications. All optical components in the HRS-Series spectrometers are mounted directly on a single-piece base without using screws. A box enclosure structure further increases stiffness of the base. The proprietary mounting method ensures high stability over time and temperature change.
The HRS-Series spectrometers take input through an SMA connector port. Usually a fiber patchcord is used to transmit light into the spectrometer. However, it is also possible to send the input light directly into the spectrometer through the input slit. Input ports are interchangeable so that ports with different slit size (or without slit) can be used. Note that wavelength calibration is necessary after changing the input port.
A 16-bit A/D-converter is used to convert the analog signal from the CCD array into a digital stream. The electronics hardware also includes trigger input and four programmable digital I/Os for interfacing with other equipment such as a light source . The spectrometer is controlled through a USB2.0 interface which also supplies all the electric power needed to operate the spectrometer.
The standard software package includes a full-featured PC software as well as a software development kit (SDK) for further software development. A low-level USB protocol is also provided in the software package, which supports embedded-system-based applications.

ISP-VIS-MC006-A Multi-channel CCD Spectrometers
6 Channels; 380-780 nm; Resolution 1.2 nm; Integration Time 0.05-200,000 ms; Interface and Power Supply USB 2.0
Multi-channel spectrometers are used to monitor or measure multiple samples or sources simultaneously. Traditionally, multi-channel imaging spectrometers have been expensive and bulky instruments used only in demanding laboratory and industrial applications.
With the ISP-VIS-MC006-A, Mightex has leveraged the state-of-the-art optics and CCD cameras to bring to the market a compact and low-cost multi-channel fiber spectrometer that features high spectral resolution and high light throughput.
At the heart of Mightex’s multi-channel spectrometers is a high-throughput flat-field imaging spectrograph. Multiple input fibers , each represents an independent signal channel, are aligned along the input slit of the imaging spectrograph. Each channel’s spectrum is dispersed by a high-efficiency diffraction grating and then imaged on to a 2D CCD sensor . Light from each channel occupies different rows on the CCD sensor. All channels are exposed simultaneously, then rows associated with each channel are binned together to produce a spectrum for the channel. Fiber channels are spaced out properly to essentially eliminate crosstalk between adjacent channels.
The standard CCD camera features a ½“, 1.3 MP Sony ICX205 imager with a 12-bit ADC. Exposure time (integrating time) can be varied between 50 μs and 200 s. The electronics hardware also includes trigger input and four programmable digital I/Os for interfacing with other equipment such as a light source .
The ISP-VIS-MC006-A spectrometer is controlled through a USB2.0 interface which also supplies all the electric power needed to operate the spectrometer. Mightex also integrates other cameras to build custom multi-channel spectrometers. Get in touch with the AMS Technologies spectrometer experts to discuss your customized multi-channel spectrometer project exactly tailored to your requirements.
Input ends of the fibers are connectorized with SMA905 connectors . Sleeves are available to connect the fibers to other SMA connectors. Standard software package includes a full-featured multi-channel spectrometer PC software as well as a software development kit (SDK) for further software development. The software also supports radiometric calibration and photometric calculations.

LCS-BC25 Multi-wavelength Beam Combiners
Beam Combiners for 22 mm Dia. Collimated LED Light Sources; 255-940 nm; Clear Aperture 25 mm Dia.; Reflection ~30->95%; Transmission ~45->95%; Integrated Filter Well
Mightex LCS-BC25 series of multi-wavelength beam combiners combine two collimated LED light sources of different wavelengths into a single collimated beam. Multiple combiners can be cascaded to combine more than two collimated LED light sources.
At the heart of the LCS-BC25 beam combiners is a high-performance dichroic beamsplitter that combines two wavelengths with >95% efficiency. A neutral beamsplitter is also available as a lower-cost solution for applications where maximum light throughput is not required.
LCS-BC25 beam combiners are characterized by the edge wavelengths of their dichroic beamsplitters. Please check the downloadable data sheet to select the correct beam combiner for the intended collimated LED light source.
The beam combiner includes multiple mounting holes and threads so that it can be easily integrated into a system. Each input port features a fine 2-axis tilt adjustment to allow precise alignment of the collimated LED light sources relative to system optical axis. A robust locking mechanism is also provided to maintain alignment over time. Additionally, adapters are also available for coupling to major brands of microscopes.
For adding optical filters to the input ports, a filter well is integrated into each input port so that a 25.4 mm (1”) diameter optical filter can be inserted in between the LED light source and the beamsplitter. Narrow band filters and polarizers may be used to clean up LED spectrum or change the polarization state of the output beam.
Here are the dimension requirement for the dichroic/beamsplitters to be fit into the beam combiner cubes:
Length: 34 to 36 mm
Width: 25 to 26.5 mm
Thickness: 1 mm recommended, 1.5 mm max.
Multiple beam combiners can be connected using dedicated connecting plates (sold separately). Currently, Mightex’s LCS-BC25 multi-wavelength beam combiners can only be used to directly combine 22-mm diameter collimated LED light sources. For 11-mm diameter collimated LED light sources, a mechanical adapter (Product Number ACC-BC25-011) can be used to attach the LED light sources to the beam combiners, before the 11-mm diameter collimated LED light sources can be combined.
