Overview
The X-Cite 120 Iris illumination system delivers rich spectral excitation with a uniformly illuminated field of view. The incorporation of a 5-step iris enables intensity adjustment to optimize specimen illumination and to help minimize photobleaching of fluorophores. Intensity levels can be adjusted to 100%, 50%, 25%, 12% and 0%. Intelli-Lamp temperature monitoring extends lamp lifetime in excess of 2,000 hours and the lamp is pre-aligned for simple changing. The X-Cite 120 Iris system is ideal for routine assays and can be placed remotely, which reduces vibration and heat at the microscope and optimizes workspace. |
Powerful 120 W LampThe powerful 120 W lamp used in the X-Cite 120 Iris provides excitation intensity comparable to, or better than, conventional mercury arc lamps. As an added benefit, the richer spectrum excites more fluorophores. |
Long-life LampWith a 2,000-hour warranty and a typical lifetime of over 2,500 hours, the powerful 120 W X-Cite lamp has ten times the lifespan of a conventional mercury lamp, saving time and reducing operating costs. |
Pre-aligned and Focused for Easier InstallationThe days of difficult and cumbersome lamp changes and alignments are now gone. The X-Cite adaptor attaches easily onto an existing microscope light port. To change the bulb, simply remove the old one and click the new one in place. |
Heat and Vibration ReductionThe X-Cite unit connects to the microscope with a liquid light guide. Remote placement of the unit ensures that no heat or vibration is transferred to the microscope and allows optimization of valuable workspace. |
Intensity AdjustmentThe X-Cite 120 Iris features a built-in 5-step iris for adjusting intensity to optimize specimen illumination and to help minimize photobleaching of fluorophores. Intensity levels can be adjusted to 100%, 50%, 25%, 12% and 0%. |
Hot-strike PreventionHot strikes shorten lamp life and cause premature intensity degradation. The Intelli-Lamp continually monitors lamp temperature, preventing restrikes until the lamp cools to a 'safe-to-restart' state. |
