X-Cite 110LED LED Fluorescent Illuminators

The X-Cite® 110LED is a white light LED source dedicated to routine fluorescence imaging.
It effectively covers standard fluorophores such as DAPI, GFP, mCherry and Cy5. Compact and with no lamp to replace, it offers outstanding field uniformity thanks to a liquid light guide, as well as full manual and electronic control via USB, TTL or speedDIAL.
Its maintenance-free design and long LED life (25,000 h) make it a reliable and cost-effective solution for cell biology laboratories.

X-Cite 110LED features

  • High intensity white LED illumination for DAPI, GFP, mCherry, Cy5 imaging
  • Emission spectrum: 360-660 nm
  • LED emission peaks: 385, 475, 560, 640 nm
  • Control: USB, TTL, RS-232 and speedDIAL
  • Fast response: 100 µs TTL / 1 ms USB
  • No lamp or module to replace
  • Field uniformity optimised by liquid optical guide
