The pE-100 single-wavelength LED illumination system, including light source, control pod, and power supply.
The pE-100 single-wavelength LED illumination system has been developed for fluorescence applications requiring a single LED excitation wavelength. It is perfect for clinical applications such as routine screening (e.g. using Auramine for Tuberculosis), for research applications requiring precise intensity control and fast-switching, or for electrophysiology applications where light has to be delivered to a specific location. The user can select from 20 different LED wavelengths, ranging from the near-UV at 365nm to the near-IR at 770nm. This system comprises a pE-100 LED light source, control pod, and power supply.
There are three standard configuration options for the pE-100 single-wavelength LED illumination system:
- Direct-fit for connecting to a microscope (epi-port) by selecting from a range of microscope adaptors which covers all current and most older models. A simple once only adjustment will allow optimisation to the optical path of the microscope.
- Liquid light guide with a fixed 3mm diameter
- Fibre with an SMA connection for accepting multimode fibres. The pE-100 fibre has been designed with efficient coupling into a wide range of multimode fibres. It also includes excitation filter holders.
All three configurations have the option of combining pE-100 systems for applications requiring a second LED wavelength with independent control and triggering.
