The CoolLED pE-400max and pE-400 Illumination Systems can now be controlled in Nikon’s imaging software
Integrating the microscope light source into imaging software is the most efficient way to configure all but the most simple of imaging experiments.
We are pleased to announce that the four-LED pE-400 Series Illumination Systems (which includes the pE-400 and pE-400max) is fully supported in Nikon NIS imaging software, from Version 6.10.02. More information is available in the Summary sheet.
About the pE-400 Series
The pE-400 Series delivers the most advanced yet cost-effective illumination for routine to advanced fluorescence microscopy applications. Four powerful LEDs offer broad spectral coverage from 365-635 nm for use with fluorophores ranging from DAPI through YFP to Cy5.
While the bright white pE-400 offers the ideal lamp replacement, the four-channel pE-400max enhances performance in applications where speed and control is crucial, such as live cell imaging and optogenetics.
Which Imaging Software programs can the pE-400 Series be controlled in?
The pE-400 Series is supported in a range of imaging software platforms.
Please see the Imaging Software Table for the full list, summary sheets, quick start guides (and some programs also have video tutorial guides).
What other control options are possible?
For the majority of software programs where the pE-400 Series is not yet integrated, the USB to TTL trigger box (pE-6501) offer seamless control.
In addition, the manual control pod and LightBridge graphical user interface (GUI) provides comprehensive control of the pE-400max independently of imaging software platforms.
CoolLED specialises in microscopy illumination and, since our team of four introduced the first commercially available LED microscope light source in 2006, we have led the way in designing and manufacturing cutting edge LED Illuminators for Microscopes using the latest technology.
