Optical Insights Dual-View Fluorescence Imaging Splitter – MSMI-DV-FC
The Optical Insights Dual-View (MSMI-DV-FC) is a high-performance fluorescence imaging splitter designed to allow simultaneous acquisition of two fluorescence emission images in a single snapshot. Ideal for dual-channel live-cell imaging, FRET, calcium ratio imaging, and fluorescence polarization, this system provides true simultaneous multi-channel acquisition—essential for applications sensitive to motion or photobleaching.
This modular splitter uses removable filter cubes and accepts standard 25 mm diameter filters, offering rapid configuration changes across different fluorophore sets. The built-in Pass-Thru option allows you to keep the system mounted while reverting to full field-of-view imaging.

Refurbished/Used
This product has been inspected and verified to meet manufacturer specifications.
Key Features
- Simultaneous capture of two fluorescent emission images
- Easily mounts to any microscope and camera with C-mount thread
- Sub-pixel image registration with minimal light loss
- Removable filter cube for rapid fluorophore switching
- Pass-Thru mode allows toggling between split-view and full-view imaging
- Compatible with 25 mm diameter filters (emission, ND, polarization)
Applications
- Dual-color fluorescence imaging (e.g., GFP/RFP, CFP/YFP)
- FRET (Förster Resonance Energy Transfer) experiments
- Calcium or pH ratio imaging (e.g., Fura-2, BCECF)
- Simultaneous fluorescence and DIC imaging
- Single Molecule Fluorescence (SMF)
- Multi-wavelength FLIM or TIRF microscopy
