X-Cite 120PC Q

Description

The Excelitas 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 3000 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.

Whether observing fixed or live cells, X-Cite® offers a complete range of lamp illuminators that optimize imaging and ensure greater data reliability. These X-Cite products are known for maximum stability and superior illumination uniformity for fluorescence microscopy applications that provide the convenience of pre-aligned, long-life lamps and easy installation.  At the heart of the X-Cite 120PC Q is our unique Intelli-Lamp technology that maintains optimum lamp temperature. With a 2000-hour warranty and a typical lamp life of over 3000 hours, the powerful X-Cite 120PC Q has ten times the life span of a conventional mercury lamp, saving you time and reducing operating costs.  The X-Cite 120Q light source connects to your microscope with a liquid light guide. Remote placement of the unit ensures that no heat or vibration is transferred to the microscope and allows you to optimize valuable work space.  Hot 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.  X-Cite adapter optics are designed and tested specifically for each microscope model to optimize intensity and provide superior illumination uniformity. With a wide selection of adapters available, X-Cite is compatible with all major microscope brands.  X-Cite systems are designed with safety in mind, from the safety interlock switches and light shields to help protect against accidental UV/bright light exposure to meeting strict international safety standards for laboratory equipment.
