"The Lumen 200 is a perfect replacement for conventional mercury burners. The metal halide lamps of the Lumen 200 provide a similar yet superior spectral output and have a 2000hr. lifetime compared to the 200hrs of the mercury burner. As spectral output of the Lumen 200 is similar to the mercury burner, fluorophores excited under HBO illumination will also be excited by the light produced by the Lumen 200 negating the need to change filter sets. A manual intensity control allows the light levels to be reduced to 70%, 50%, 25%, 10% or 0%, and a liquid light guide reduces heat and vibration transmitted to the microscope. The Lumen 200’s self aligning lamp with longer lifetime means lamp replacement is less frequent and easier, no lengthy, complicated lamp aligning procedures. Variants with expanded spectra for UV, CY5, CY7 and CY7.5 dyes are also available.

A shutter that closes in under 30 ms means that very brief exposure periods are now a possibility – ideal for samples that are susceptible to photobleaching. The Lumen 200S is compatible with the ProScan® III control system but also can function as a stand alone unit.                                 

FEATURES:

• Time until bulb replacement is clearly displayed on the unit

• Similar yet superior light quality to an HBO bulb allows the same filter dyes and techniques to be used.

• Self aligning lamp

• Liquid light guide homogenises light and reduces heat and vibration transfer.

• Adapters are available for most microscopes

• The Lumen 200 has a manual intensity control allowing the light levels to be reduced to 70%, 50%, 25%, 10% or 0%                                        

• Lumen 210 and 220 have expanded light outputs for Cy 5, Cy 5.5, Cy7 and UV dyes
.
• Lumen 200S has an automated shutter (closes within 30 ms).
