NEW pE-800 LED Illumination System
CoolLED, a global expert in LED microscopy illumination, has launched its
new 8-channel pE-800 LED Illumination System for widefield fluorescence microscopy. Featuring eight individually controllable LEDs and lightning fast TTL switching, the pE-800 delivers the highest quality data at minimum total cost of ownership.
Eight powerful LEDs offer broad spectral coverage from 365-740 nm for use with fluorophores ranging from DAPI to Cy7. Even as applications change over time, this new level of 8-channel versatility means selecting the optimum fluorophore combination has never been so easy — and the ability to match the LED excitation wavelengths enhances the signal-to-noise ratio for each experiment.
Control is where LEDs far surpass conventional illumination, and the pE-800 optimises illumination with individual control of all eight channels via software (USB 2.0), digital and analogue.
Industry-leading <7 µs TTL triggering is a breakthrough for live cell imaging. Capturing dynamic events with the highest temporal resolution is possible thanks to several features, including precise hardware synchronisation for each channel. Having the ability to fit inline excitation filters also overcomes the latency restrictions of mechanical movement when used alongside multi-band filter sets. When combined with the unique 8-channel Sequence Runner, illumination sequences can be triggered with a single TTL out of a camera, transforming a manual microscope into an affordable and powerful eight-channel automated imaging system.
The pE-800 is ideal for sensitive samples, as fine irradiance control from 0-2% and then in 1% steps to 100%, balances image contrast while protecting against phototoxicity and photobleaching. Irradiance can be controlled via analogue or software, and users can benefit from full software integration in Nikon NIS Elements already, while the intuitive CoolLED LightBridge also offers comprehensive control options.
