LED Fluorescent Illuminators pE-400 – CoolLED

The pE-400 offers broadband white LED illumination (365-635 nm) adapted to common fluorophores (DAPI to Cy5).
It is an efficient replacement for mercury lamps, with instant power ramp-up, precise irradiance control (0-100%) and TTL synchronisation (< 10 µs) to protect your samples from photobleaching and offer high temporal resolution.

Characteristics of the LED pE-400 – CoolLED

  • Four powerful LEDs covering 365-635 nm (DAPI-YFP-Cy5)
  • Manual Control Pod: activation/deactivation and irradiance adjustment in 1% steps
  • TTL global synchronisation < 10 µs for fast triggering
  • Software control via USB-B, µManager and LightBridge compatible
  • Two coupling options: Direct Fit or liquid light guide (LLG 3 mm)
  • Mercury-free LED, max consumption ~80 W, idle ~2 W
  • Simple, robust installation, compatible with multiple microscope brands
