CoolLED Fluorescence Illuminator

The CoolLED pE-300 White multi-channel fluorescence illuminator and control pad.

~25,000 hour life, 10+ years of continuous use. Mercury free. Manual and software control. Direct microscope mount or remote attachment via 3mm liquid light guide.

Broad spectrum, multi-LED fluorescence illumination source. Supports simultaneous or individual Calcein and Alizarin Red fluorescence labeling for dynamic histomorphometry. Label brightness independently adjustable.

Relative Power vs Wavelength

The CoolLED pE-300 White fluorescence illuminator is optimized for three excitation wavelengths, corresponding to blue, red, and green fluorochromes.

Recommended 69401 Multi-band Filter Cube from Chroma

Working with Chroma Technologies, CoolLED has developed a 3 channel filter match to the excitation wavelengths of the CoolLED pE-300 White. Learn more at Chroma.com.

The strength of the three excitation wavelengths (375nm / 475nm / 575nm) are independently controllable. The pE-300 is normally matched to a Chroma 69401 triple-band filter cube. This eliminates the need to switch cubes to view different labels. Labels can be excited individually or simultaneously. Compatible with DAPI, Calceine / FTIC / Alexa 488, Alizarin Red / Texas Red / Alexa 594. Cube sold separately.

Multi-label Imaging Samples

Live dual-label calcein and alizarine red imaging for bone formation rate. Note how well the brightness of the labels are balanced.
