Prizmatix has released an ultra-high-power LED light source (595Nm) that is designed to provide an excellent replacement for conventional arc lamp sources in fluorescence microscopy.
The company claims that many applications, including the activation of a light-driven ion pump such as Halorhodopsin (NpHR) in optogenetics, may benefit from this LED light source.
The UHP-Mic-LED-595 provides more than 300mW of collimated LED power on its output.
The LED driver supports CW or fast TTL triggered operation.
It is compatible with Prizmatix modular microscope-LED light source products family and has TTL external triggering.
According to Prizmatix, the LED light source is excellent for fluorescence excitation; has stable, precisely adjustable power; and has a long operating life.
Potential applications include: optogenetics (LED activation of Halorhodopsin [NpHR]); fluorescence microscopy with fluorophores Alexa Fluor 594, Texas Red, Dylight 594; whole-body imaging of small animals in-vivo; photo activation (PA); and bio-analysis.
