FLuoBox LED
NEW
Overview
Turn Your Microscope into a Fluorescence Imaging System using a 485nm High-Power LED. This setup eliminates the complexity and safety concerns of laser-based illumination while providing bright, stable fluorescence
excitation, especially suited for GFP samples and offers a professional
infinity-corrected fluorescence microscope. An adjustable iris
facilitates Köhler illumination alignment and system optimization.
The openUC2 FluoBox LED Edition offers a flexible, user-friendly path to
building and customizing your fluorescence microscope, whether for
advanced research, teaching labs, or hobby projects.
- LED-Based Excitation: Safer and simpler than traditional laser systems, reducing regulatory and handling concerns.
- Optimized Beam Shaping: Collimation and focusing lenses enable precise illumination, suitable for high-quality fluorescence imaging.
- Dichroic and Emission Filtering: Achieve clear separation of excitation light and emitted fluorescence for efficient detection.
- Köhler Illumination Setup: The integrated iris helps with precise alignment, improving brightness uniformity and image contrast.
- Infinity Microscopy: Combine with the Infinity Box for professional-grade, infinity-corrected imaging of fluorescent samples.
