Single Multiband Wavelength Excitation for a Mercury Free Microscope

The niji is a revolutionary innovation in mercury-free microscopy, taking advantage of recent advances in lighting technology. With a much smaller environmental impact, this low cost modular LED source with single or multiband wavelength illumination is leading the way. We care about the environment and are trying to help users who care too. The niji can help you to remove dangerous toxins and has far less power consumption than damaging mercury lamps, helping to do your bit toward the environmental impact of research. Weve tried to use the latest technology to reduce the impact of production but also used old technology and made our packaging recyclable or degradable where possible. You may also be able to benefit from a sustainability grant from your institution to help you switch to new green tech.

But, why should I choose a niji?

  • Individually addressable, individually filtered LED channels

  • Fully compatible with microscopes and microscope software

  • Individual excitation filters

  • Constant current and optical power LED drive modes

  • User-changeable LEDs and filters

  • Control individually or simultaneously
