Most 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.
X-Cite output not as bright as it used to be and changing lamps doesn’t quite help? You might have an air bubble in your liquid light guide (LLG). How do you check? Depending on the size and location in the light guide, a bubble may or may not be obvious.
To check for bubbles:
Liquid light guides universally are exposed to ultra-violet light which causes slow degradation in transmission properties. It is always a good idea to check your light guide if you notice a lower signal than normal (provided you have appropriate control slides). For more details on this and other helpful tips, download the X-Cite Maintenance Guide below.
