OptoLED Lite
Ultra Stable and Instantaneous Wavelength Switching
The success of our OptoLED power supply and modular LED head system prompted us to design a lower cost single-wavelength controller, the OptoLED Lite. This product can be used as an alternative to a Halogen lamp for transmitted light microscopy (e.g. for phase contrast and differential interference contrast), or for simple fluorescence applications using GFP markers, or Fluo3 / Fluo4 calcium studies. It offers the key benefits of vibration free shuttering and remote intensity control.
Applications
- Transmitted light microscopy
- Fluorescence Microscopy
Key benefits
- Low cost
- Vibration free switching and intensity control
- Long-life
- High stability
Wavelength Options
The range of wavelengths available from ultra-bright LEDs covers the absorbance peaks of most fluorescence indicators. The table below shows the standard range, however we can also source more specialist devices (download information sheet).
