Wide-Field Fluorescence Microscope Excitation Light Source

X-Cite 120Q Wide-Field Fluorescence Microscope Excitation Light Source & Illumination System

The X-Cite® 120Q excitation light source uses a 120-watt lamp to deliver rich spectral excitation energy and uniform wide-field fluorescence microscope illumination to the sample plane. The proprietary Intelli-Lamp® provides more than 2000 hours of life. The lamp is pre-aligned so changing it is a simple, one-step process. The optional adjustable iris allows the user to set the level of illumination. The X-Cite® 120Q is ideally suited for fluorescence microscopes being used in routine assays and as an excitation light source for use in multi-user facilities.

"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
