Introducing The New PFA-DT Autofocus Sensor by WDI

Discover the future of Precision Focus Automation with our latest addition to the world’s most powerful microscopy autofocus sensors: the PFA-DT. Driven by the demands of the biomedical industry for fast and accurate autofocus solutions, WDI has developed and refined its PFA sensor family technology to create PFA-DT.  The new sensor offers remarkable improvements in speed, accuracy, processing and communication, all at a very affordable price.

Key Features and Benefits:

  • Up to 8 KHz update rate and faster processing result in improved high-speed tracking performance.

  • Significant upgrades in memory, processing power, and functionality improve the sensor’s adaptability and programmability.

  • The PFA-DT features a configurable output supporting both analog output and digital step and direction, making it a universal solution that can interface with Piezo actuators, Dover Motion’s DOF-5, WDI PFABUS ZAAs and other third party Z axis stages.

  • Offset Adjuster (OA) lens versions available to account for variations between the sensor focal plane and camera imaging plane.

  • Real-time diagnostic and performance reporting with insightful analytics and statistical metrics.

  • Gigabit Ethernet communication and Linux OS provide greater reliability and enhanced capabilities.

  • Available laser wavelengths include 660nm, 785nm, 850nm.

  • Gigabit Ethernet communication and embedded Linux OS provide greater reliability and enhanced capabilities.
