Lumen Dynamics X-Cite

Whether you are observing fixed or live cells, the X-Cite® fluorescence illuminator technology will simplify your imaging procedures and provide outstanding results using fluorescence microscopy techniques.

The X-Cite® pre-aligned Intelli-Lamp® technology provides extended lamp life, convenient set-up, ease of use, and superior fluorescence illumination uniformity.

From the basic X-Cite® 120Q model for routine assays, to the most advanced X-Cite® exacte computer-controlled microscope light source delivering ultra-stable and repeatable illumination for live cell and quantitative imaging, there is an X-Cite® fluorescence illumination solution that is right for you.

 

X-Cite 120Q

The X-Cite® 120Q microscope light source system uses a 120-watt lamp to deliver rich spectral fluorescence excitation with a uniformly illuminated field of view. The proprietary Intelli-Lamp® provides more than 2000 hours of life. The lamp is pre-aligned so changing it is a simple, one-step process. The optional adjustable iris allows the user to set the level of illumination. Ideally suited for fluorescence illumination in routine assays and as a microscope light source for use in multi-user facilities.

X-Cite Lamps and Liquid Light Guides

The powerful 120W lamp used in the X-Cite® 120Q Series provides excitation intensity comparable to, or better than, conventional mercury arc lamps, with an added benefit of a broader spectrum being able to excite more fluorophores. The lamps have a guaranteed life of 2000 hours.

The X-Cite® illuminators connect to your microscope via a liquid light guide and a coupling adaptor. The light guides have a core diameter of 3mm, and are available in either 1500mm or 3000mm lengths.

The same light guides can be used for all X-Cite® illuminators.

We have a constant stock of both bulbs and liquid light guides at competitive prices.
