Why should I use an X-Cite®?
- Minimal acoustic noise, low vibration
- No need for separate cooling equipment
- Ultimate intensity control
- Fine intensity control to reduce photobleaching
|
- Luminous/brilliant signal
- Illumination uniformity
- No alignment required
- Reliability and stability

| Illumination Systems |
Key Features |
Application |
| X-Cite® 120Q |
|
- Routine imaging where maximum power is always required and photobleaching is not a concern
|
| X-Cite® 120Q - with iris |
|
- Routine imaging where control over intensity level is desired
|
| X-Cite® 120PC Q |
- 5-step iris
- internal shutter
- PC control via RS232
|
- Time-lapse imaging, automated image acquisition, especially when avoiding vibration from a microscope-mounted shutter is important
|
| X-Cite® 200DC |
- 0-100% continuous iris
- Internal high speed shutter
- Ultrastable output
- Control of shutter via TTL
|
- Routine to advanced high speed imaging protocols, and time-lapse
- Protocols where output stability, fine adjustment of intensity level and/or avoiding microscope shutter vibration is desired but full PC control is not required
|
