Excitation light source X-Cite® 120PC Q

mercurycompact

The X-Cite® 120PC Q offers the same performance and convenience as the X-Cite 120Q fluorescence illumination system - rich spectral sample excitation with a uniformly illuminated field-of-view, the convenience of pre-aligned lamps, 2000 hour lamp lifetime, and adjustable iris - with the added option and benefits of a computer controlled microscope light source. The straightforward RS-232 communication and command set easily allows integration into automated systems, as well as commercially available imaging software platforms. The X-Cite 120PC Q offers the same performance and convenience as the X-Cite 120Q fluorescence illumination system with added PC control. With a 2000-hour warranty and a typical lamp life of over 2500 hours, the powerful 120 W X-Cite lamp has ten times the life span of a conventional mercury lamp, saving you time and reducing operating costs. The X-Cite 120PC Q includes a built-in 5-step iris for adjusting intensity to optimize specimen illumination and to help minimize photobleaching of fluorophores. With settings of 100%, 50%, 25%, 12%, and 0%, this is a standard feature of the X-Cite 120PC Q and optional for the X-Cite 120Q.
