LED illumination means no mercury to dispose of and lower energy costs due to low power consumption and the precise control offered. With the new enhanced pE-300^lite, this simple white light, at full power uses just 46 Watts. That is almost a quadruple efficiency increase!

This compares to other LED technology that uses 120 to 350 Watts. This leap forward in technology makes LEDs more attractive when compared to old Mercury or Metal Halide technology. Where “green” funding is available, the reduction in institutional energy usage improves the return on investment.

CoolLED’s pE-300 Series was the winner of the “Go Beyond Award” in the “Products” category for “Excellence in sustainability in laboratory and other high technology facilities” The International Institute for Sustainable Laboratories (I2SL) runs a unique awards program honouring organisations, individuals, products,and projects that are advancing sustainable, high-performance facilities.

The system comprises a pE-300^lite Light Source, control pod, and power supply. It can be specified with a microscope adaptor for direct fit configuration or with a 3mm diameter liquid light guide if there is a need to keep the source of illumination remote from the microscope. An optional pE-Universal Collimator and microscope adaptor can be selected for use with a liquid light guide.

As a replacement to a metal halide source on a confocal microscope, the liquid light guide configuration is particularly suitable for pre-aligning samples before scanning commences. In this way, photo bleaching of the sample can be minimised when LED illumination is used.

With an expected lifetime in excess of 25,000 on hours and a comprehensive range of microscope adaptors, the pE-300^lite can be fitted to most current and older microscopes and operate for many years without aligning or replacing bulbs. The result is a safe, convenient illumination system without any additional operating costs.

There are two pE-300^lite configuration options:

Direct-fit

for connecting to a microscopes – 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, liquid light guide. An optional pE-Universal Collimator can be specified in conjunction with a microscope adaptor if required.

The pE-300^lite offers:-

• Simple to Buy

  • Works with everyday fluorophores/stains

  • Affordable through lab consumables budget

  • Broad spectrum - covers UV (DAPI) to Red region (Cy5)

  • Specify for existing single and multi-band filter sets – no need to buy new filters

• Simple to Fit

  • Direct fit to the microscope in seconds

  • Wide range of microscope adaptors – fits most microscopes

  • No alignment, a once only adjustment

• Simple to Use

  • Instant on/off - No shutters required, no warm up or cool down

  • Stable & repeatable – reliable and consistent results

  • Precise intensity control in 1% steps (0-100%) – no ND filters required

  • Excellent uniformity over field of view – fixed and stable, no alignment necessary

  • Long lifetime – expected to exceed 25,000 hours of operating time

  • No bulb replacement or ongoing consumables

DAPI can be excited at either 365nm or 400nm and microscopes typically have a filter set which allows one or other of these wavelengths to be transmitted. To accommodate this, the pE-300^lite can be specified in one of two waveband configurations to match with the user’s existing filter sets within the microscope.

A microscope which is populated with a number of single band (“SB”) filter sets will typically have DAPI excitation at 365nm and a microscope with multi-band (“MB”) filter(s) has excitation at 400nm. The user can specify the configuration which is appropriate for their microscope.
