Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces the X-Cite series, specifically the X-Cite 120Q and 120PC Q, as advanced fluorescence illumination systems designed for optimal performance in microscopy. These systems feature the patented Intelli-Lamp® technology, offering enhanced lamp life and superior illumination uniformity.

Key Features
  • Intelli-Lamp Technology: Ensures a long lamp life of over 2000 hours, reducing operating costs and time spent on replacements.
  • Hot-Strike Prevention: Monitors lamp temperature to prevent premature intensity degradation.
  • Intensity Adjustment: Built-in 5-step iris for optimizing specimen illumination and minimizing photobleaching.
  • PC Control: The X-Cite 120PC Q model offers manual and computer control, integrating easily with automated systems.
  • Quiet Operation: Significant reduction in acoustic noise for a more comfortable working environment.

Applications and Compatibility
The X-Cite systems are widely used in life science research, including university imaging labs, clinical applications, and pharmaceutical research. They are compatible with all major microscope brands, thanks to a wide selection of adaptor optics.

Technical Specifications
  • Lamp: Proprietary 120W Mercury Vapor Short Arc with a typical life of 2500 hours.
  • Power Supply: High efficiency, universal input with a warm-up period of 90 seconds.
  • Weight and Dimensions: The systems weigh approximately 6.7 to 7 lbs and have dimensions of 13.5" x 5.5" x 6.5".
  • Certifications: CE Marked and certified to IEC, Canadian, and US standards.

Additional Features
  • Safety: Designed with safety interlock switches and light shields to prevent accidental exposure.
  • Remote Placement: The liquid light guide allows for remote placement, reducing heat and vibration transfer to the microscope.

Conclusion
