No more mercury with new pE-100 LED light source from CoolLED
CoolLED, a leading supplier of high-performance LED products, has introduced its new pE-100 light source for use with fluorescence microscopes. With a choice from over 20 LED wavelengths, ranging from UV to IR, the pE-100 offers LED excitation at a single wavelength to match the exact requirements of all light-microscope users. It was developed to meet the demand for an economical LED source that does not have the inherent problems associated with the use, storage and disposal of mercury-based light sources.
The Yasutomo Kubota of Nihon Molecular Devices, CoolLED’s Japanese distributor, commented: “We are excited by this new development and see a great future for this product. The pE-100 is an excellent stand-alone LED light source that can also be triggered remotely for use in either reflected or transmitted modes.”
