CoolLED pT-100 LED technology for transmitted illumination

The pT-100 is a compact and simple-to-use LED illumination system for transmitted light applications, including brightfield, darkfield, DIC, Dodt gradient contrast and phase contrast.







The CoolLED pT-100 is an ideal replacement for halogen illuminators. LED illuminators offer long life and low running costs. There are also other benefits- instant on/off, constant colour temperature as the intensity is altered, and precise control by the handy control pod.



There are four options with the pT-100-

• pT-100-WHT . Broad white spectrum for standard applications

• Three narrow bandwidth models-
  
  
  • Higher contrast images: pT-100-525
    
    Narrow bandwidth at 525 nm is optimised for the spectral response of most scientific cameras and reduces background noise from a phosphored LED.
  • Revealing details in thick samples: pT-100-635
    
    Narrow bandwidth at 635 nm provides deeper penetration, which is excellent for revealing detail in thicker samples.
  • Infrared illumination of thicker samples: pT-100-770
    
    Narrow bandwidth at 770 nm provides deeper sample penetration techniques that require the use of infrared light.

CoolLED pT-100 Features-

pT-100-WHT:

• Comfortable operation and reduced risk of eye damage as no unwanted UV
• Spectral performance matched to 100 W halogen, creating consistent images
• No variation in colour across irradiance range, removing the need to colour balance
• Replaces 100 W halogen lamp housing on most current and older microscopes – quick & easy exchange
• LLG version enhances accuracy for electrophysiology applications

pT-100-525:

• A phosphor-free illumination centred around 525 nm optimised for the spectral response of most scientific cameras
• Improved image contrast compared to white light source

pT-100-635:

• A phosphor-free solution for brightfield imaging with a peak of 635 nm providing deeper penetration in thicker samples
• Reduced phototoxicity of light-sensitive samples

pT-100-770:

• A specialised solution for IR contrast techniques such as DIC, Dodt contrast etc.
• Centred around 770 nm provides the optimal output for deeper sample penetration techniques requiring infrared light
• LLG version enhances accuracy of electrophysiology applications using thick tissue slices
