Precision in Three Colors: Engineering a Custom 3-Channel Fluorescence System for Medical Analysis

Phase 1: Conception and Optical Design

Working closely with the client, our engineers defined the exact system requirements. Using advanced optical simulation software, we modeled the entire light path, selecting the optimal LEDs, designing the custom light mixer, and specifying the highly complex coatings for the beamsplitter to ensure maximum efficiency for both reflection and transmission.

Phase 2: Planning and Prototyping

With the optical design finalized, we engineered a compact mechanical housing to hold all core components—the three light sources, light mixer, beamsplitter, and lens—in perfect, stable alignment. A functional prototype was built to validate the design in real-world conditions, allowing for data-driven refinements before final production.

Phase 3: Implementation and Calibration

In the final phase, each module was assembled in our cleanroom environment. Our technicians painstakingly aligned and calibrated every system to ensure all three channels performed to the exact specifications. The final product was not just an assembly of parts, but a fully functional optical engine, delivered to the client as a plug-and-play solution, ready for immediate integration into their production line.

By partnering with Schneider-Kreuznach, the client received a custom-engineered 3-channel fluorescence system that met all their performance criteria, accelerating their time-to-market and eliminating development risks. The plug-and-play nature of the solution streamlined their manufacturing process, allowing them to focus on what they do best.
