Very few facilities actively and accurately track their mercury or metal halide bulb usage over time. They get ordered, installed, replaced, and eventually forgotten about. But this creates a blind spot…
You can have an excellent light source, a great camera, rock-solid mechanics, and the right optics – but without tight coordination, you’re left with a setup that’s technically impressive but practically fiddly…
We are proud to announce the new pE-300opto, a light source designed specifically for neuroscience researchers using optogenetics
Optogenetics is all about precise control: the right wavelength, the right intensity, the right timing. The pE-300opto is built to deliver exactly that, offering just the wavelengths and control that matter, in a compact, affordable package.

Neuroscience researchers want dependable, flexible and accurate illumination for both imaging and stimulation. Our new optogenetics LED light source is being designed with those needs in mind
With the ban in Feb 2027 in mind, it’s only fair to give credit where it’s due: Mercury and metal-halide bulbs got fluorescence microscopy this far. LEDs will take it the rest of the way
It’s very easy to talk about LED technology, wavelengths, control systems, uniformity and long lifetimes… But none of those topics capture the reality that all of our products starts with a real human being at a bench
Whether the work involves basic immune behaviour, developing new immunotherapies or studying inflammation – consistent illumination is one of those quiet but essential ingredients that keeps the data trustworthy
Based in Spain, Izasa have been supplying scientific equipment and technical solutions across Spain and Portugal for more than fifty years
Biology is variable enough. You don’t want the light source adding its own version of “plot twists”. You need consistent, fast, stable illumination every single time
