LED light source X-Cite Vitae 6™

ultravioletadjustable wavelengthvisible

Overview
The X-Cite Vitae 6 is a multi-wavelength LED illumination system designed for imaging, diagnostic and analytical instruments. Its modular LED architecture supports up to six independently controllable wavelengths across a 360–740 nm range, with UV–IR options available on request. The platform delivers high optical output with optimized thermal management and a configurable footprint for instrument integration. High-speed color switching and multiple control interfaces enable precise synchronization with acquisition systems.

Features and Benefits

• Independent wavelength control: operate each LED individually or concurrently without channel sharing or filter-change delays.
• Excitation filter holders: precise adjustment to tailor excitation spectra to application requirements.
• Light guide delivery: configurable light guide options to couple illumination into microscopes or instruments; main unit may be remotely located if space is constrained.
• Multiple control options: USB (B-type), TTL, analog control or combinations for flexible system integration.
• Compact footprint: minimized benchtop or instrument space impact.
• Optimized thermal management: preserves LED output, lifetime and stability.
• External power options: accepts 24 VDC instrument input or universal external adapter (100–240 VAC).
