pT-100 Overview
pT-100 Overview
The pT-100 is a powerful white LED illumination system designed to replace a 100W halogen lamp.
Histologists and cytologists who are familiar with results from a conventional halogen lamp can immediately make accurate and reliable diagnosis using the pT-100 as colours will appear the same. Unlike a Halogen lamp, the colour balance of the pT-100 illumination system does not vary with intensity, removing the need to make any adjustment. The many additional benefits which LEDs offer – mercury-free, instant on/off, control and repeatability – mean that laboratories using halogen lamps will find that the move to the pT-100 is obvious and simple.
The pT-100 is a compact and simple-to-use LED illumination system for transmitted light applications and comprises a pT-100 LED Light Source, control pod, and power supply. The user is given instant on/off and intensity control in 1% steps from the manual control pod which can be positioned close at hand. Remote control is available via a TTL trigger.
The system uses a new LED technology which has a spectrum closely matching halogen. Previous LED technology offered illumination which was weak at longer wavelengths. This made the red element of images appear faint and caused colours to lose their clarity.
When adjusting the intensity of the pT-100, the balance between the colours remains constant so there is no need to make adjustments to the colour balance that is necessary when using halogen. In addition, the pT-100 does not produce unwanted light in the UV which makes it a safer product for the user as risk of eye damage is significantly lower.
The pT-100 offers:-
Spectral performance matched to 100W halogen – familiar images
No variation in colour across intensity range – no need to colour balance
Replaces 100W halogen lamp housing on most current and older microscopes – quick & easy exchange
No unwanted UV – reduced risk of eye damage
Instant on/off - no shutters required, no warm up or cool down
Simple to fit, simple to use – no need to align
Stable & repeatable – reliable and consistent results
Wide range of microscope adaptors – fits most microscopes
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 60,000 hours of operating time
