CoolLed

CoolLed Logo CoolLED are the world leaders in LED technology for fluorescence microscopy. Mercury, Halide and Xenon lamps are fast becoming obsolete as LED's become ever brighter and more readily available.

CoolLED offer a range of 20 LED's covering most of the excitation wavelengths required in clinical and research applications.

In clinical laboratories huge savings are available as replacing mercury lamps becomes a thing of the past.

Scottish Water choose Olympus BX53 with CoolLED fluorescence
Scottish Water recently took delivery from Microscope Systems of an Olympus BX53 fluorescence microscope for their cryptosporidium laboratory in Inverness.

The new microscope is equipped with state of the art CoolLED fluorescence excitation and top of the range U-SAPO UIS2 optics.

CoolLED fluorescence excitation negates the need for mercury lamps and provides an efficient and environmentally friendly alternative, with no compromise on fluorescence brightness when using DAPI and FITC. A wide range of LED's wavelengths are available for most applications.
Microscope Systems Scotland supply Olympus BX53 to Cardonald College Glasgow
Cardonald College, GlasgowCardonald College Glasgow was keen to purchase a high spec digital fluorescence microscope for their new Healthcare and Life Sciences Suite and following a recommendation from BioReliance (a key biotechnology company based at the West of Scotland Science Park dealing with biological safety testing, cGMP production and electron microscopy) they contacted James Charles at Microscope Systems Scotland (MSS).

John Parker, Head of School, Life Sciences at Cardonald said: “The College received excellent service from James from MSS. He spent time outlining and explaining what was on offer and arranged for Patrick Shone from Olympus to do a full demonstration of the spec before purchase. Once the Olympus BX53 microscope system was purchased both James and Patrick came through to Cardonald to help with the set up and staff training. As well as using the Olympus BX53 fluorescence microscope we hope to see it used as a training tool for NHS staff, local bioscience and our education partners in schools, colleges and universities”.

The microscope is equipped with state of the art CoolLED fluorescence and an Olympus UC-30 camera system utilising the renowned cellSens software package from Olympus.
