Prizmatix Microscope LEDs, Low Noise and New Low Price
Posted by Nathaniel Sperka on 2nd Mar 2015
Prizmatix has upgraded their Mic-LED line to a new controller, the BLLC-04, and at the same time lowered their pricing. A complete single wavelength system now costs just $1560. This includes the new BLCC-04 controller, which features advanced low noise driver electronics (<0.03% RMS), and both TTL and analog input for pulsing and intensity control.
The Mic-LED can be used in collimated format, directly mounted on the fluorescence port of your microscope, or it can be used with a fiber optic coupler. Another advantage of the Mic-LED is the modularity, which allows it to be combined with one or more LEDs to make a multi-wavelength source.
Currently available in the following wavelengths: 365nm, 385nm, 390nm, 395nm, 400nm, 405nm, 410nm, 415nm, 420nm, 425nm,430nm, 435nm, 440nm, 445nm, 455nm, 460nm, 465nm, 470nm, 480nm, 550nm,595nm, 500nm, 505nm, 515nm, 535nm, 550nm, 595nm, 620nm, 630nm, and white.
Other wavelengths including IR and NIR on request.

Five Not Very Obvious Questions to Ask when Choosing an LED Source for your Fluorescence Microscope
More and more researchers are considering using an LED source for their fluorescent microscope. There are good reasons to do so, but what are the things you need to be careful about?Some questions such as choosing a spectrum that will be effective are pretty straightforward. But some are not. You might not want to know about [...]
Three Reason to Consider Replacing Your Mercury or Xenon Lamp with a Prizmatix LED
In the past, research laboratories have relied on mercury or xenon lights as a light source for fluorescence and brightfield microscopy. In recent years however, many researchers have chosen to switch to using LEDs, such as Prizmatix Ultra High Power LEDs instead. Here are three reasons why:1. Prizmatix LEDs are lower cost, more energy-efficient and [...]
