Caliper-FLEX

When Should I Use Caliper-FLEX?

The compact Caliper-FLEX VCSEL Swept Source is easy to integrate into your 3D OCT imaging system and is an excellent choice when it is essential to do long depth scans together with a fixed or a flexible adjustment of the speed of the scan. Caliper-FLEX can be delivered at a competitive price that supports efficient scalability in production. Caliper-FLEX can be customized and delivered with either factory settings or user programmable settings.

Caliper-FLEX is based on the Caliper product platform. By using Caliper-FLEX in your 3D OCT imaging systems, you ensure your product platform can easily be upgraded for future demands and i.e., Caliper-FLEX can be replaced by Caliper-HERO.
