Fluorescence Detector FAQs & Support

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the focus and focusing length of the detector?

The focusing length is the distance between the detector light output on the front lens and the object. Detector focus distances are between 5 and 18 mm depending on detector configuration. By default, this distance is set at 9 mm. There is a sweet spot at the optimized focusing distance and the efficiency of the detector is best at this point.
