Better Control and more Options in Fluorescence Microscopy

The use of microscopes in hospitals and laboratories covers a very wide spectrum of applications, from the identification of fungal mycelium in a clinic to the screening of cervical preparations for premalignant change in cytopathology, and the identification of acid alcohol-fast-bacilli (AAFB) in microbiology. Such procedures make use of different microscopy techniques including conventional brightfield (transmitted light), phase contrast, DIC and fluorescence techniques.

CoolLED Ltd is a design and manufacturing company specialising in high-performance LED technology. LEDs for fluorescence microscopy offer many benefits to the life scientist, from instant on/off to long lifetime, stability and precise control. With a wide range of wavelengths available, including white, CoolLED can provide LED excitation matched to fluorescent stains and microscope filter sets.

The new additions to the pE-Series of products mean CoolLED now offer single, dual, 3 or 4 wavelength units which are perfect for Live Cell and Clinical Screening work

As many hospitals and universities are actively-seeking to eradicate mercury-based products from their facilities, the benefit of these safe and environmentally-friendly illumination sources which do not use mercury will be appreciated.
