Lumencor Spectra X_Sola

Lumencor Light sources


All Light Engine models provide both manual and electronic control of light output on/off status and electronically controlled linear output intensity adjustment

       SOLA


  • SOLA Light Engine provides white light output for excitation of DAPI, GFP/FITC, YFP, Cy3, mCherry, Cy5 and spectrally similar fluorophores.
  • SOLA FISH Light Engine, output in the 475–600 nm region is red-shifted to provide optimal excitation for SpectrumGreen™, SpectrumRed™ and other fluorophores commonly used for fluorescencein situhybridization (FISH) analysis in cytogenetic testing laboratories.
  • SOLA V–N and U–N Light Engines offer the broadest spectral coverage, including near infrared (nIR) output for excitation of fluorophores such as Cy7 and ICG, and for other applications that benefit from the enhanced tissue penetration of nIR light.

SPECTRA X


The SPECTRA X Light Engine provides six independently controllable, tunable light sources spanning the visible spectrum from 360–780 nm.

Each SPECTRA X Light Engine comes equipped with a set ofeightoptical bandpass filters, providing the capacity to refine and tune the source outputs to meet evolving experimental requirements.

The filters are user-exchangeable and are installed in removable paddles.

The process of replacing one excitation filter with another in the SPECTRA X is as straightforward as it is in a filter wheel. On the other hand, the color switching speed delivered by the SPECTRA X (0.1 ms) is vastly superior to that of a filter wheel (50 ms).
