XLED1 | Maximum power and individual LED control | Use up to four high power LED modules with fine excitation control while balancing illumination intensity between channels and protecting specimens against photodamage. |
XLED1 | Unmatched field uniformity at the specimen | 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. |
XLED1 | Adaptable plug-and-play modularity | Each LED module and associated optical components can be quickly swapped in the field for another wavelength depending on the needs of your application. |
XLED1 | Rapid wavelength switching to capture fast cell dynamics | Each LED module is designed to integrate and easily interchange individual excitation filters, allowing accelerated wavelength switching beyond the scope of motorized filter wheels. |
XLED1 | Flexible triggering for sequential or simultaneous imaging | 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. |
XLED1 | X-Cite Live Cell Mode to limit photobleaching and cellular damage | 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. |
