X-Cite Exact, new standards in fluorescence illuminators

Added: (Wed May 21 2008)

Scientifica is pleased to announce the launch of X-Cite Exact, X-Cite Radiometer fluorescence illumination light source from EXFO.

These new additions address the illumination stability and repeatability requirements of advanced fluorescence applications, and were developed by working closely with researchers using quantitative and live cell imaging techniques.

The X-CiteŽ exacte employs a DC-powered mercury lamp coupled with patented Closed-Loop Feedback technology to provide ultra-stable illumination. With the X-CiteŽ Radiometer, light output can also be calibrated in absolute power units (watts), ensuring truly repeatable experiments. With the X-CiteŽ exacte’s high speed internal shutter, intensity adjustment in 1% increments, computer programmability, and a graphical user interface that records real-time stability data, a new standard for fluorescence illuminators has been set.

The X-CiteŽ exacte also has all of the convenient features enjoyed by the thousands of researchers currently using the X-CiteŽ 120 Series illuminators: an easy-to-install Intelli-LampŽ with no alignment required a guaranteed 2000 hour lifetime, a rich broad spectrum, and exceptional illumination uniformity.

While the X-CiteŽ exacte’s unique DC lamp technology is not interchangeable with the lamp used in X-CiteŽ 120 series illuminators, all X-CiteŽ light guides and X-CiteŽ microscope adapters are suitable for use with the entire X-CiteŽ family. The X-CiteŽ Radiometer, which accepts the standard 3mm light guide, can be used with the X-CiteŽ 120 series to measure light guide and lamp output.

X-CiteŽ exacte and X-CiteŽ Radiometer units are now available for Scientifica UK.
