CoolLED will be highly visible at SPAOM 2026, with our LED illumination technology appearing across a range of microscopy systems, applications and workflows throughout the meeting.
Bringing together the Spanish, Portuguese and wider European bioimaging communities, SPAOM provides an ideal setting to see how modern LED illumination is being integrated into fluorescence microscopy, multiplex imaging, spatial biology, slide scanning and advanced research platforms.
Palex, Nikon and CoolLED across the Iberian microscopy community
As a Platinum Sponsor of SPAOM 2026, Palex will have a major presence at the meeting, representing Nikon microscopy alongside a wide range of imaging technologies for researchers across Spain, Portugal and the wider Iberian region.
CoolLED will have a dedicated area on the Palex stand, reflecting a long-standing relationship that has helped bring LED fluorescence illumination into laboratories throughout Spain and neighbouring markets. As Palex's preferred LED illumination partner, CoolLED systems are regularly paired with Nikon microscopes for research applications ranging from routine fluorescence to advanced imaging.
Multiplex imaging with Evident and the pE-10
Evident is also a Platinum Sponsor of SPAOM 2026 and will be showcasing its VS200 Research Slide Scanner together with the CoolLED pE-10 Illumination System.
With 10 individually controllable LED channels covering wavelengths from 365–850 nm, the pE-10 gives researchers the spectral flexibility required for increasingly complex multiplex fluorescence imaging and spatial biology workflows.
Combined with the VS200, the system shows how precise LED illumination can become part of a complete imaging workflow, supporting researchers who need to extract more information from every slide while moving away from traditional mercury-based light sources.
CoolLED illumination across European microscopy
From individual research microscopes to complete imaging facilities, CoolLED systems have become a familiar choice for thousands of microscopy users across Europe. Our technology is integrated with major microscope manufacturers and imaging platforms, helping laboratories replace legacy mercury and metal halide lamps while gaining the stability, control and flexibility of LED illumination.
The relationship with Palex is a strong example of this reach. Across Spain and the surrounding region, Palex continues to bring CoolLED illumination into Nikon microscopy installations and to support laboratories making the transition to LED. Alongside integrations such as the Evident VS200 and pE-10, it means visitors to SPAOM can see CoolLED operating across very different microscopes, applications and imaging environments.
Whether your work involves fluorescence microscopy, live-cell imaging, multiplexing, spatial biology, digital pathology or slide scanning, SPAOM offers the opportunity to see CoolLED as part of the complete imaging system rather than simply as a standalone light source.
