Fluorescent light source X-Cite mini+

LEDwhiteUV

Product overview
The X-Cite mini+® is a compact white-light LED light source for fluorescence imaging and spatial biology. Designed as a modern replacement for bulb-based systems, it delivers high-power excitation at the sample plane while minimizing bench footprint and maintenance.

Key benefits
Built-in fingertip controls (speedDIAL), hands-free operation via foot pedal, and USB and TTL inputs for automation. Long LED lifetime with LEDs covered by a 20,000-hour warranty; no lamps to change and no mercury disposal. Energy-efficient LEDs provide instant ON/OFF and reduced power consumption.

Features

• LED technology: efficiency, stability, instant ON/OFF, long lifetime, mercury-free
• White-light excitation: compatible with common fluorophores (DAPI, CFP, GFP/FITC, YFP, mCherry/Texas Red, Cy5)
• Direct-coupled design: high-power excitation at the sample plane
• Multiple control options: USB, TTL, speedDIAL and RS-232 (SDK available)
• Small footprint: minimal bench-top space required
• Optimized thermal management: maximizes LED output, lifetime and stability
• X-Cite coupling optics: efficient, uniform optical output

Applications

• Fluorescence imaging
• Spatial biology workflows
