Excitation light source LEX9

for fluorescence microscopesfor biomedical researchfor optogenetics

LEX9 is a highly powered and highly stable LED light system developed for biological research. Two different LED units can be installed inside. The LED units use LEDs in the visible to near-infrared light range that have higher output than conventional ones, and various wavelengths can be selected to match fluorescent probes. It is possible to manually turn on/off one or two wavelengths, or alternately turn on two wavelengths in frame synchronization with a high-speed camera system. LEX9 is ideal as an excitation light source for high-speed fluorescence imaging. Applications: - Excitation light source for fluorescence imaging -- GCaMP imaging (Hemodynamic correction using 405nm/460nm) -- Calcium imaging -- Voltage sensitive dye imaging -- Intrinsic optical signal (IOS) imaging - Light stimulation for Optogenetics -- Channelrhodopsin (ChR2) -- Halorhodopsin (NpHR) -- Arch and Chrimson, etc. - Other fluorescence imaging -- Experiments requiring bright and highly stable light -- Experiments requiring wide area illumination Main Features: - Higher power: Improve S/N ratios - Highly stable: Minimize unnecessary noise when imaging biological signals - Dual wavelength excitation: Two wavelengths can be acquired with one camera - Fast switching: For high-speed imaging and pulsed light stimulation - Expandability: Compatible with various fluorescent probes - Wide area illumination: Illuminate entire area at low magnifications
