Patterned Illumination

The Polygon projects user-defined light patterns through a microscope with a digital micromirror device, so several cells or regions can be stimulated at once, each with its own timing. Four models differ by optical input and contrast; microscope-specific adaptors couple them into the infinity path of upright and inverted microscopes.
