Exfo light Sources for Microscopes

Exfo XCite light source

Exfo light Sources for Microscopes

X-Cite® 120Q


The X-Cite® 120Q microscope light source system uses a 120-watt lamp to deliver rich spectral fluorescence excitation with a uniformly illuminated field of view. The proprietary Intelli-Lamp® provides more than 2000 hours of life. The lamp is pre-aligned so changing it is a simple, one-step process. The optional adjustable iris allows the user to set the level of illumination. Ideally suited for fluorescence illumination in routine assays and as a microscope light source for use in multi-user facilities.

Features

Benefits
Pre-aligned lamp Easy lamp replacement; no alignment required
2000 hour lamp life, guaranteed Fewer lamp replacements saves time and money
Powerful 120W lamp Rich spectrum with high excitation intensity
Intelli-Lamp® technology Maintains optimum lamp temperature, automatically accumulates lamp hours
Optional adjustable iris Minimize photobleaching by adjusting light intensity

Exfo XCite light source exacte

Exfo light Sources for Microscopes

X-Cite® exacte

The Revolutionary New Light Source for Fluorescence Illumination - The X-Cite® exacte microscope light source employs a DC-powered mercury lamp coupled with patented Closed-Loop Feedback technology to provide ultra-stable fluorescence illumination, for imaging protocols lasting from milliseconds to days. With the X-Cite® Radiometer, light output can also be calibrated in absolute power units (watts), ensuring truly repeatable fluorescence illumination for imaging experiments.

The X-Cite® exacte microscope light source has the convenience of pre-aligned, long-life lamps and easy installation combined with innovative functions in the newest generation of mercury arc fluorescence illumination systems.

Setting a new standard. Stability. Control. Repeatability.

Features

Benefits
DC lamp with Closed-Loop Feedback Short and long-term intensity stability
Calibration via optional Radiometer Provides output in watts for consistent illumination and empirical repeatability
Adjustable Iris with 1% steps Intensity control limits photobleaching
Internal High Speed Shutter Flexibility in configuring imaging systems for different applications
Liquid Light Guide Excellent illumination uniformity, no heat transferred to microscope
Automatic Light Guide Detection Ensures proper/complete insertion of light guide to optimize performance and lifetime
Pre-aligned, 2000 hour lamp Easy lamp replacement with no alignment required, lower running costs

X-Cite® Radiometer

The X-Cite® Radiometer enables calibration of the
X-Cite® exacte fluorescence illumination system, for the ultimate in repeatability, stability, control and consistency. It is a fact that mercury lamp output degrades over time, and working in relative units means intensity settings are not easily repeatable. Calibrate illumination in watts with the X-Cite® Radiometer for repeatable intensity levels and consistent results.

Features

Benefits
Calibrates illumination intensity Ensures repeatability of illumination levels for comparable experiment results
Designed specifically for the X-Cite® exacte Easy to use, one-touch calibration with no additional hardware or software required
Stand-alone device One Radiometer can be used to service multiple fluorescence illumination systems, keeping equipment costs low
Calibrated using certified transfer standard, NIST* traceable Assurance of accuracy; each X-Cite® Radiometer is accompanied by a certificate of calibration

*National Institute of Standards and Technology.
