The Revolutionary New Light Source for Fluorescence Illumination - The X-Cite® exacte microscope light source employs a DC-powered mercury lamp coupled with patented Closed-Loop Feedback technology to provide ultra-stable fluorescence illumination, for imaging protocols lasting from milliseconds to days. With the X-Cite® Optical Power Measurement System, light output can also be calibrated in absolute power units (watts), ensuring truly repeatable fluorescence illumination for imaging experiments.
The X-Cite® exacte microscope light source has the convenience of pre-aligned, long-life lamps and easy installation combined with innovative functions in the newest generation of mercury arc fluorescence illumination systems.
