CoolLED - pE-300white Light Engine

Description

CoolLED’s pE-300white offers intense, broad-spectrum LED illumination for imaging most common fluorescent stains.  The pE-300white Light Source can be fitted directly to the microscope or specified with a liquid light guide.  The system is a mercury-free alternative that is safer, more controllable, and repeatable than conventional high-pressure gas discharge illuminators.  Spectral coverage is from the UV (DAPI excitation) to the Red region (Cy5 excitation). The system is perfect for hospital and regular research laboratory environments.

The pE-300white 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

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-300white 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.
