pE-400 Series

Product catalog summary

Overview: The pE-400 Series by CoolLED offers advanced LED microscopy illumination systems designed for both routine and advanced fluorescence applications. The series includes two main models: the pE-400 and the pE-400max, each providing unique features for different user needs.

Specifications: Both models feature four powerful LEDs covering a broad spectral range from 365-635 nm, suitable for major fluorophores and opsins. They are mercury-free, energy-efficient, and offer near-silent operation. The systems can deliver light via direct fit or liquid light guide and provide optimized irradiance control in 1% steps from 0-100%.

Control and Interface: The pE-400 offers global control with a manual control pod and can be integrated with third-party imaging software via USB. The pE-400max provides individual channel control, enhancing image quality and allowing high-speed imaging with a graphical user interface called LightBridge. Both models support global remote triggering with TTL inputs.

Features Comparison: The pE-400max includes additional features such as individual channel selection, individual channel irradiance control, and the Sequence Runner for automation. It is ideal for high-speed imaging and optogenetics, eliminating the need for external filter wheels when used with multi-band filters.

Ordering Information: Various configurations are available for both models, including options for direct fit or liquid light guide use, and single-band or multi-band filter configurations. Accessories such as the USB-TTL Conversion Kit and Excitation Filter Holders are also available.

Power and Dimensions: The systems require 100-240 V a.c. power and consume 80 W with all wavelengths on. The light source and control pod have compact dimensions and are lightweight.

Environmental and Safety Benefits: CoolLED products are designed to be sustainable, with energy-efficient, mercury-free, and long-lasting LEDs that reduce the carbon footprint and eliminate the need for bulb replacements.

We've got you covered Four powerful LEDs offer broad spectral coverage from 365-635 nm, covering all the major fluorophores and opsins from DAPI through YFP to Cy5. Built on award-winning CoolLED technology, stable and reliable operation is mercury-free with ultra-low power consumption, offering a win-win for performance and sustainability. Which Illumination System is right for you? While the standard pE-400 presents a cost-effective lamp replacement with global control, the four-channel pE-400max enhances performance in demanding applications such as high-speed imaging and optogenetics.

pE-400 Controllable white light Global control of the white light is quick and simple with manual control pod, which includes on/off and irradiance settings. Unlike traditional white light sources, global control is possible within third-party imaging software via USB connection. Increasing temporal resolution to <10 µs, a global TTL input offers precise hardware synchronisation, while compatibility with the pE-6501 USB controlled TTL trigger box enables global control in third-party imaging software such as Evident cellSens. pE-400max Fast, 4-channel control Individual control of four channels...
