Excelitas Technologies Corp., a global technology leader delivering innovative, customized photonic solutions, introduces X-Cite NOVEM as the latest addition to its fluorescence illumination product line. The new LED illuminator is ideally suited for challenging imaging applications that require high excitation power and individual wavelength control including slide scanning, live cell imaging, FISH, Fura-2 ratiometric imaging and general fluorescence microscopy.
The light guide coupled, high power, 9-channel wavelength-switching X-Cite NOVEM illuminator offers spectral ranges for applications from Fura-2 to IR800 (340nm - 785nm). The product’s high power reduces scan time for multiplex imaging, and its pre-installed filters simplify system setup. X-Cite NOVEM also features efficient cooling and quiet operation, even when running at full capacity.
To accommodate the spectral requirements of specific imaging applications, this new X-Cite product is available in four standard wavelength combinations. In addition, Excelitas’ patented LaserLED Hybrid Drive technology provides increased excitation in the 500nm - 600nm band range where X-Cite NOVEM’s 4-position motorized filter changer will automatically isolate specific spectral bands.
Excelitas X-Cite NOVEM is now available for purchase.
