Description
X-Cite XLED1 configurations includes: X-Cite XLED1 illumination system, four modules, user manual (CD) with GUI and USB driver, quick start guide, liquid light guide, microscope adaptor, power cord, four excitation filter holders, USB cable
The X-Cite XLED1 is a high-power LED light source designed to optimize fluorophore excitation with unmatched LED switching speeds. Its unique plug-and-play modularity allows the system to evolve alongside changing research applications, with easily interchangeable LED modules. With unprecedented wavelength switching speeds to capture fast cell dynamics and advanced triggering options including X-Cite Live Cell Mode to extend live-cell imaging experiments, the X-Cite XLED1 represents the industry’s next generation of fluorescence LED illumination.
Features:
- Maximum power and individual LED control
- Unmatched field uniformity at the specimen
- Adaptable plug-and-play modularity
- Rapid wavelength switching to capture fast cell dynamics
- Flexible triggering for sequential or simultaneous imaging
- X-Cite Live Cell Mode to limit photobleaching and cellular damage
Benefits:
- Use up to four high power LED modules with fine excitation control while balancing illumination intensity between channels and protecting specimens against photodamage.
- X-Cite microscope adaptors lead the industry in field uniformity without the need for alignment, while saving time on maintenance and ensuring peace-of-mind in experimental results.
- Each LED module and associated optical components can be quickly swapped in the field for another wavelength depending on the needs of your application.
- Each LED module is designed to integrate and easily interchange individual excitation filters, allowing accelerated wavelength switching beyond the scope of motorized filter wheels.
- Triggering sequences can be combined with a high degree of control over individual LED intensity to excite and image multiple fluorophores when examining very fast moving specimens or for live-cell ratio imaging.
- Researchers can extend the time frame of their live-cell imaging experiments by reducing the degree of free radical formation caused by the continuous illumination of fluorescent proteins.
