X-Cite ® existmicroscopeThe adapter field is in a leading position in the industry, with a uniform illumination field of view that allows researchers to focus on experimental work without calibration, greatly saving maintenance time. |
Adaptive plug and play modular design |
Each LED module and accompanying optical component can quickly convert to adapt to another wavelength according to user needs. |
Rapid wavelength conversion enables rapid detection of cell viability |
eachLEDThe modules are designed to integrate and exchange individual excitation filters, which can enableLEDThe lamp can quickly switch wavelengths, which is not achievable by a typical electric filter wheel. |
Flexible triggering for sequential imaging or synchronous imaging |
In detecting rapidly moving samples or live cell proportion imaging, trigger sequences are combined with high-level independent controlLEDThe use of light source intensity can excite and reflect the imaging of multiple fluorescent groups. |
Living cell mode reduces photobleaching and cell damage |
Researchers are able to extend observation time and reduce the production of free radicals (continuous irradiation of fluorescent proteins) in live cell imaging experiments. |
