Mightex · Polygon adaptors and expanders
Expands one infinity-path port of a microscope into two to four ports, so a Polygon, a widefield illuminator, a camera or a laser scanner can share it.
Manufactured by Mightex. Precisometer is a Mightex distribution partner: we quote, integrate and support Mightex products, with in-person support in the Netherlands and Belgium.

From Mightex
The IPX lets several infinity-path devices use one microscope port without rebuilding the setup. It is compatible with all Mightex Polygon models and with Mightex and third-party widefield epi-fluorescence sources on a standard 3 mm liquid lightguide; cameras and laser scanners connect through adaptors.
IPX2 starts with two ports and has a modular design that can be scaled up; IPX4 has four integrated ports. Every port except port 1 has a pitch-yaw adjustable dichroic holder for centring the field of view, and the dichroic sits in an interchangeable standard filter cube with optional excitation filters.

Conceptual workflowFollows the three selection steps in Mightex’s Polygon guide (wavelength, Polygon model, microscope adaptor), with control added from the PolyScan page. It is not a verified configuration: we check how the parts fit your equipment before quoting.
Pick the wavelength for your opsin or chemistry, in the format the Polygon input accepts.
The Polygon model follows from the source: lightguide, fiber, both, or ultra-high contrast.
An adaptor for your microscope make and model; an expander if the port is shared.

Polygon adaptors and expanders
Product familyPolygon adaptors and expanders
Adaptors that couple a Polygon into the infinity path of Leica, Nikon, Olympus and Zeiss microscopes: three-position slider (3PS) and single-cube adaptors for upright stands, and ring or plate adaptors, with or without pitch-yaw adjustment, for the back port of inverted stands.
Product familyPolygon adaptors and expanders
Mightex’s Multi-Port Illuminator (MPI) enables researchers to add a Polygon Patterned Illuminator to their microscope for targeted illumination while keeping their original light source for epi-fluorescence or other wide-field stimulation.
