CoolLED - pE-300ultra Light Engine

Description

CoolLED’s pE-300ultra is a fluorescence microscopy light source which offers intense, broad-spectrum LED illumination for imaging most common fluorescent stains.  Users have access to both microsecond switching via multiple TTL inputs and the ability to mount inline excitation filters.  This, when paired with today’s high performance multi band filter sets, facilitates imaging traditionally done via a white light source and a filter wheel, with all the benefits of LED.

The pE-300ultra offers:

• Clean bright illumination across the spectrum – excites common fluorescent stains
• Specify for  existing single and multi-band filter sets – no need to buy new filters
• Instant on/off - No shutters required, no warm up or cool down
• Simple to fit, simple to use – no alignment, a once only adjustment
• Stable & repeatable – reliable and consistent results
• Wide range of microscope adaptors – fits most microscopes
• 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
• Removable inline excitation filter holders - no moving parts
• Individual channel triggering via TTL in microseconds
• Sequence Runner - sequenced excitation from a single TTL-out

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-300ultra 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.
