System said to be ideally suited for computerised fluorescence microscopy applications because it provides excellent image quality, lower operating costs and improved productivity
The X-Cite 120 PC system, based on Exfo's highly successful X-Cite 120, is said to be ideally suited for computerised fluorescence microscopy applications because it provides excellent image quality, lower operating costs and improved productivity.
The RS-232 interface and software enabling features allow customers to control the iris, lamp, built-in shutter and timer via a PC.
The X-Cite 120 PC uses a 120W lamp to deliver rich spectral excitation with a more uniform field of view than conventional fluorescence illumination systems.
The proprietary Intelli-Lamp technology helps to provide more than 1500 hours of lamp life, enabling customers to save time and money with significantly fewer lamp replacements.
The X-Cite 120 system is pre-aligned to make changing lamps a fast and simple one-step process.
The X-Cite 120 PC is a self-contained illumination unit separate from a microscope.
A simple liquid light guide attachment through custom-coupling optics ensures no electrical noise and a uniform field of view with no heat from the lamp being transferred to the sample.
The output intensity, built-in shutter and timer of the X-Cite 120 PC system can also be adjusted from the front panel control, as well as through the computer.
