Maximum power and individual LED control: Use up to four high-power LED modules with fine excitation control while balancing illumination intensity between channels and protecting specimens against photodamage.

Unmatched field uniformity at the specimen: X-Cite microscope adapters lead the industry in field uniformity without the need for alignment, while saving time on maintenance and ensuring peace-of-mind in experimental results.

Adaptable plug-and-play modularity: Each LED module and associated optical components can be quickly swapped in the field for another wavelength depending on the needs of your application.

Rapid wavelength switching to capture fast cell dynamics: Each LED module is designed to integrate and easily interchange individual excitation filters, allowing accelerated wavelength switching beyond the scope of motorized filter wheels.

Flexible triggering for sequential or simultaneous imaging: Triggering sequences can be combined with a high degree of control over individual LED intensity to excite and image multiple fluorophores when examining very fast moving specimens or for live-cell ratio imaging.

Our LED module configurator makes customizing your X-Cite® XLED1 easy! Simply select a pre-configured system or LED wavelength modules suited for your application by clicking below - select from the available standard bundle system configurations or up to 4 wavelengths. The configurator will suggest the most efficient way to position them and identify which dichroics will maximize light output. This convenient tool can be used for reconfigurating your existing components, or to help configure a new system.

Please note: The UVA module and Fixed Cell #1 System are no longer available.  These options remain in our configurator to support systems already in the field.

Select a standard system configuration or up to 4 modules from the list below (up to 2 high and 2 low):
