pE-800 Spectrum Graph
Mix & match with eight channels
Eight powerful and efficient LEDs offer broad spectral coverage from 365-740 nm for use with fluorophores ranging from DAPI to Cy7. The choice of fluorophore is no longer limited by the light source, and choosing the optimal set for each application has never been easier – even as requirements evolve over time.
All eight channels can be individually controlled, with each LED selected to perfectly match the selected fluorophores. Excitation filters with white light sources let through more unwanted light, and by matching the LED this improves the signal to noise ratio for contrast-rich images revealing finer details and more information.
Capture high-speed events
Industry-leading <7 µs TTL triggering is a breakthrough for live cell imaging. Capturing dynamic events is possible with the highest temporal resolution and even without software, thanks to precise hardware synchronisation via TTL input for each channel and compatibility with the pE-6501-8 (USB controlled TTL Conversion Kit).
The ability to fit inline excitation filters capitalises on TTL trigger speeds, as single-band excitation filters can be installed for each channel. When used alongside multi-band filters, for example in a Pinkel configuration, this removes the need for expensive external filter wheels and overcomes the latency restrictions of mechanical movement, presenting a low-cost approach to high-speed imaging.
Beyond imaging
Eight individual analogue inputs allow irradiance to be controlled from 0-100 % for each channel via analogue signal (0-10 v), which is ideal for electrophysiology and optogenetics applications.
Affordable automation with Sequence Runner
The popular Sequence Runner program takes speed one step further and combines the versatility of software with the <7 µs speeds of TTL, with minimal requirement for expensive electronic hardware. Once an LED and irradiance sequence are specified in software, Sequence Runner provides lightning fast synchronised triggering via the global TTL-in of the pE-800 and a single TTL-out from a camera (or other hardware).
The pE-800 is unique in offering the only 8-channel Sequence Runner available, and when combined with inline filters, transforms a manual microscope into an affordable and powerful eight-channel automated imaging system. As laboratory budgets become stretched, the pE-800 presents the ideal cost-effective Illumination System which makes high-end LED technology more accessible to life science researchers.
