LED light source X-Cite XYLIS™ II

whiteultravioletUV

Overview X-Cite XYLIS™ II is a true arc lamp replacement for routine and advanced fluorescence imaging applications. The system offers several enhancements over the original XYLIS, including operation at sound levels 10 dB quieter and increased optical output with the broadest spectrum available in a white light LED for fluorescence microscopy. It delivers brightness that surpasses traditional arc lamps, making it ideal for both compound and stereomicroscopes. Incorporating patented LaserLED Hybrid Drive® technology overcomes the LED green gap, enabling broad-spectrum excitation and exceptional performance. Whisper quiet operation and broad spectral coverage deliver the benefits of LED illumination without compromising on price, flexibility or performance.

Highlights

• Whisper quiet operation (approximately 10 dB quieter than the original XYLIS)
• Broad spectral coverage (DAPI to Cy7 range) suitable for compound and stereomicroscopes
• Patented LaserLED Hybrid Drive® technology to fill the LED green gap
• High optical output that surpasses traditional arc lamps
• Deliverable through a light guide for retrofit or new systems

Operational features

• Two model choices with selectable UV wavelength: 365 nm (XT730S) or 385 nm (XT730L)
• Option to turn OFF the UV portion of the spectrum (useful to preserve sample viability for stereomicroscopy)
• Built-in control options: intuitive fingertip control with speedDIAL, hands-free operation with a foot pedal, USB and TTL inputs for automation

Applications

• Fluorescence imaging
• Spatial biology
• FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization)
• Structured illumination microscopy (SIM)

Additional notes The whisper-quiet operation makes the XYLIS II appropriate for multi-station labs and imaging facilities that require reduced acoustic disturbance. Delivered light via a light guide enables installation on many imaging systems and retrofit of older microscopes.
