What XLED1 Offers... |
LED Fluorescence Microscope Benefits |
| High power at the sample plane (365nm - 735nm high intensity LED modules) |
Increased spectrally targeted fluorescence excitation power where it matters most to excite/uncage/activate fluorophores - at the sample |
| Narrow bandwidth LED microscope illumination | High signal to noise ratio; reduces crosstalk between fluorophores leading to high signal specificity |
| Instantaneous wavelength switching | Enables fast multi-color image acquisition and pulsing applications (down to 10µs) |
| Fast ON/OFF LED activation | Eliminates vibration and latency of mechanical shutters, allowing precise, short exposure times to limit photobleaching and phototoxicity |
| Advanced triggering and pulsing options | Flexibility with experimental design and system control |
| Plug & play LED modules | Easy LED microscope light source configuration according to user application |
| Optimized X-Cite® adaptors | A wide variety of high efficiency LED to fluorescence microscope light guide couplings/adaptors currently available |
| Uniform and stable illumination | Reliable and consistent image data |
| Intuitive GUI and interactive touch screen | Ease of use; no advanced training required |
| Easy module exchange | GUI verifies system set-up and ensures worry-free module exchange |
| 0.1% intensity control increments | Repeatable LED microscope illumination and optimal fluorescence imaging |
