Through partnership with The University of Strathclyde, CoolLED are excited to announce the latest leap forward in LED illumination for microscopy – the pE-340fura

The pE-340fura is a bespoke LED illuminator for Fura-2 imaging which also supports everyday fluorescence microscopy in a compact and affordable package.

Launching in September 2017, the pE-300fura will offer;

The right wavelengths

- A genuine 340nm LED with more than enough intensity at the sample plane to out-perform traditional approaches.

- A very powerful LED at 380nm which is suitable for both Fura-2 and everyday dyes such as DAPI and Hoechst.

- A broad white output from 435nm – 645nm allowing sample healthy cells to be distinguished from dying cells using dyes such as Propidium Iodide (PI)or everyday imaging with fluorophores including CFP GFP/FITC, YFP, Tritc/TxRed/mCherry, Cy5 and similar

- All of this is delivered via UV optimised optics which allow maximum power delivery on ...
