Customer Testimonials

"The X-Cite® XLED1 platform is an extremely convenient system to use for excitation or photolysis. Integration into our existing setup was incredibly easy and the touch screen control panel provided a simple and precise method to control the device and even save protocols for multiple experiments. A great alternative for laser based systems."

Prof. Chris Yip
University of Toronto

"The XLED1 system integrated well with our existing microscopes, setup was easy and the interface was very intuitive."

Miria Bartolini
Advanced Optical Microscopy Facility, Toronto

"We found the new XLED1 light source to be extremely flexible in a multi-user environment, providing powerful excitation for all of our favourite fluorescent proteins."

Holly Aaron
Molecular Imaging Center, UC, Berkeley

"The X-Cite® XLED1 was everything I had been looking for, a light guide system that would not generate extra heat close to my sample with a bright, stable, low noise light source that is easy to maintain"

Susy Kohout
PhD, Department of Molecular Biology, UC Berkeley, USA

"With the help of the X-Cite® light source we have successfully captured high quality epi-fluorescence time-lapse images of actomyosin structures in fission yeast. These images have featured in a number of publications our lab has contributed to the field over the past few years."

Matt Lord
University of Vermont

"The X-Cite® 120 has been an invaluable tool in our FRET-based research. The easy
installation and long life enables us to concentrate on our experiments instead of worrying about our light source."

Dr. Ammasi Periasamy,
W.M. Keck Center for Cellular Imaging, University of Virginia, USA

"The XP750 is destined to become an important staple in the toolbox of every investigator who is doing quantitative work that demands absolute repeatability in terms of excitation output. This unit is far superior to standard power meters because it fits perfectly into a slide holder and positions the light sensor at the objective focal plane."

Michael W. Davidson
The Florida State University

"Much of our research depends on quantitative fluorescence microscopy analysis over long time periods. The X-Cite® XP750's design makes it easy to routinely measure the exact amount of excitation light delivered to the specimen at any given time point."

Damir Sudar
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

"The X-Cite® XP750 is very easy to use and would be a valuable tool for any researcher wanting to measure fluorescence intensity."
