Microscope Systems have recently installed three CoolLED pE-300-White fluorescence illumination systems at SAMS (Scottish Association for Marine Science) laboratories in Oban. The pE-300-White is a broad spectrum LED light source that replaces the old technology mercury lamp type illumination.

CoolLED’s pE-300-White offers intense, broad-spectrum LED illumination for fluorescence microscopy that is perfect for hospital and regular research laboratory environments. The system is a mercury-free alternative that is safer, more controllable and more precise than traditional bulb illumination options.  Spectral coverage is from the UV (DAPI excitation) to the red region (Cy5 excitation).
