X-Cite 120Q

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.

Specifications
The X-Cite systems utilize a 120W mercury vapor short arc lamp with a guaranteed 2000-hour lifespan, typically extending to 2500 hours. The systems are equipped with a liquid light guide to prevent heat and vibration transfer to the microscope. The X-Cite 120PC Q model includes additional features such as RS232 communication for PC control and integration with automated systems.

Features and Benefits
- Intelli-Lamp Technology: Ensures optimal lamp temperature and prevents hot strikes, extending lamp life.
- Adjustable Iris: Allows intensity adjustments to minimize photobleaching, with settings at 100%, 50%, 25%, 12%, and 0%.
- Quiet Operation: The systems have been designed to reduce acoustic noise by 65% compared to previous models.
- Safety Features: Includes safety interlock switches and light shields to prevent accidental exposure to UV/bright light.

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

Technical Specifications
- Power Supply: High efficiency, switch mode, line isolated, with universal input (90-264 VAC, 47-63 Hz).
- Warm-Up Period: Approximately 90 seconds.
- Weight and Dimensions: The X-Cite 120Q weighs 6.7 lbs, while the 120PC Q weighs 7 lbs. Both have dimensions of 13.5" x 5.5" x 6.5".

Conclusion
The X-Cite 120Q and 120PC Q represent the evolution of fluorescence illumination technology, offering a rich spectrum and high excitation intensity. They are designed for ease of use, with pre-aligned lamps and simple installation processes, making them a preferred choice for researchers worldwide.
