LED Fluorescent Illuminators pE-800 – CoolLED

The pE-800 LED illuminator is a high-performance fluorescence lighting system offering 8 independent channels covering the spectrum from 365 to 740 nm (DAPI to Cy7). It is designed to meet the most demanding needs in rapid imaging, electrophysiology and optogenetics, thanks to its ultra-fast TTL controls (<7 µs), analogue control (0-10 V, 0-50 kHz) and user-friendly USB interface. With its 8 removable inline filter holders and no moving parts, the pE-800 provides homogeneous, stable illumination that is perfectly suited to multi-band filters for high-speed imaging.
