Powered by BiozX-Cite TETREM 4-Channel LED Illumination System
The new X-Cite TETREM™ is a 4-Channel LED illumination system for fluorescence imaging applications. Engineered for simplicity, power, and flexibility, it delivers reliable excitation for the most widely used fluorophores in microscopy. TETREM’s compact and cost-effective design makes it an ideal choice for researchers performing live cell imaging or upgrading from a lamp-based system for routine applications.The unit is equipped with the all-new X-Cite smartDIAL™ controller, offering a modern, user-friendly, and sleek interface for precise and intuitive manual control.
The X-Cite TETREM is designed to cover the four key spectral bands required to excite the most popular dyes used in fluorescence microscopy - DAPI, FITC, mCherry/TRITC and Cy5. There are two different UV LED wavelengths available – 365 nm and 385 nm models - to accommodate your DAPI excitation filter preference.
X-Cite TETREM offers the flexibility to operate its four LEDs, either individually or simultaneously, making it well-suited for use with both multi-band and regular filter cubes. Individual LED control will minimize bleed-through with multiband filter cubes and can provide UV-free illumination for reflected light applications. Intensity levels for each channel can be precisely adjusted to optimize excitation of fluorophores or create your perfect white color balance.
The X-Cite smartDIAL controller features large tactile buttons, illuminated channel numbers and an OLED display in the central dial to communicate wavelength/intensity information for all four channels simultaneously.
With a focus on the key fluorophores and the addition of individual LED control, X-Cite TETREM is a versatile illuminator. It is a smart solution for routine applications and an ideal way to upgrade a microscope.
