CoolLED - pE-300lite Light Engine

Description

The pE-300lite is a simple white light LED illumination unit.  It provides a broad spectrum of illumination, covering the excitation bands of common fluorescent stains.  Operation is by a remote manual control pod with instant on/off and intensity control from 0-100%.

• Works with everyday fluorophores/stains
• Affordable through lab consumables budget
• Broad spectrum - covers UV (DAPI) to Red region (Cy5)
• Specify for  existing single and multi-band filter sets – no need to buy new filters
• Direct fit to the microscope in seconds
• Wide range of microscope adaptors – fits most microscopes
• No alignment, a once only adjustment
• Instant on/off  - No shutters required, no warm up or cool down
• Stable & repeatable – reliable and consistent results
• Precise intensity control in 1% steps (0-100%) – no ND filters required
• Excellent uniformity over field of view – fixed and stable, no alignment necessary
• Long lifetime – expected to exceed 25,000 hours of operating time
• No bulb replacement or ongoing consumables

Specifications:

DAPI can be excited at either 365nm or 400nm and microscopes typically have a filter set which allows one or other of these wavelengths to be transmitted. To accommodate this, the pE-300lite can be specified in one of two waveband configurations to match with the user’s existing filter sets within the microscope. A microscope which is populated with a number of single band (“SB”) filter sets will typically have DAPI excitation at 365nm and a microscope with multi-band (“MB”) filter(s) has excitation at 400nm. The user can specify the configuration which is appropriate for their microscope.
