Chapter 2 Safety

All statements regarding safety of operation and technical data in this user

guide will only apply when the unit is operated correctly. Please read the fol-

lowing warnings and cautions carefully before operating the device.

WARNING

DONOTuse the device for anything other than its intended use.

WARNING

DONOTtake the unit apart. The pinhole wheel blade is fragile and may

break during handling.

WARNING

DONOT expose the pinhole to excessive laser power. This may damage

the product. See Specifications Chapter for maximum input power.

WARNING

DONOTswitch on the laser when mounting the motorized pinhole wheel

onto the laser source. This may cause injury due to laser radiation. Make

sure the laser source is off.

WARNING

The motorized pinhole wheel is not assessed according to IEC61508:

Functional Safety, and should not be used as a safety component.

WARNING

In case of software failure, turn off the laser source.

WARNING

DONOToperate in wet or damp conditions.

Motorized Pinhole Wheel, Uncoated Chapter 3: Description

Chapter 3 Description

The MPH16-UC is an optically encoded, high-precision motorized pinhole

wheel. It enables automated and repeatable positioning of pinholes for applic-

ations such as confocal laser scanning microscopy or scanning oph-

thalmoscopy. Additionally, the MPH16-UC has a chrome-plated glass disk that

is manufactured using standard photolithography techniques. This disk consists

of 16 pinholes ranging from Ø25 µm to Ø2 mm.

The MPH16-UC connects to a computer through a USB port. A DLL or GUI soft-

ware controls the pinhole wheel. An optically encoded motor provides repeat-

able selection between pinholes with a resolution of 10 µm, without the need for

realignment. Radial positioning of the pinhole is accomplished by adjusting the

focusing lens with a fine adjustment screw. The detection end has an SMAfiber

connector for efficient collection of the spatially filtered light. While our standard

MPH16-UC ships with an SMAfiber connector, other connectors are available

upon request; please contact imagingsales@thorlabs.com for details.

Note: The position of each pinhole (0-15), reported by the DLL of GUI, directly

corresponds to the pinhole diameters (Ø25 µm - Ø2 mm), from smallest to

largest (refer to the SDK manual for details).
