PE-800fura LED Fluorescent Illuminators – CoolLED

The CoolLED PE-800fura illuminator is an advanced LED fluorescence solution, specifically designed for Fura-2 ratiometric imaging and demanding multi-fluorescence applications.

Featuring 8 independent LED channels, it guarantees optimum flexibility for the excitation of a wide range of fluorophores and enables rapid acquisitions thanks to ultra-fast switching (< 1 ms). Unlike mercury or xenon lamps, the PE-800fura combines luminous stability, longevity (> 25,000 h) and low maintenance costs, ensuring reliable, reproducible results.

It integrates easily with most microscopes (Nikon, Olympus, Leica, Zeiss, etc.) and can be controlled via software, TTL, USB or touch controller, offering perfect ergonomics for research in cell biology, physiology and neuroscience.
