Control Your pE-400^max Microscope Light Source Directly in Evident cellSens

Seamless software control of the pE-400^max in cellSens Dimension

Configuring complex imaging experiments is faster and more efficient when the microscope light source is directly integrated into imaging software.  We are now pleased to announce that the 4-channel pE-400^max Illumination System can now be operated with Evident/Olympus cellSens Dimension imaging software – from Version 4.4.1. Where this was functionality was previously enabled through pE-800sim mode, the pE-400^max is now directly supported in the latest release of cellSens Dimension.

To find out how to install and operate the pE-400^max in cellSens Dimension Version 4.4.1., follow our Quick Start Guide or watch our tutorial video.

Which Imaging Software programs can the pE-400^max be controlled in?

The pE-400^max can also be controlled in several other imaging software platforms, including Leica LAS X, Nikon NIS Elements and µManager. For a comprehensive overview of compatible platforms, be sure to consult the Imaging Software Table, where you’ll also find summary sheets, quick start guides and video tutorials to help you get started.

About the pE-400^max

The popular pE-400^max is the most advanced Illumination System of the pE-400 Series, with four powerful LEDs.

In addition to software control, the LEDs can be individually controlled via manual control pod, the Lightbridge GUI ‘virtual control pod’ or high-speed TTL triggering, for demanding everyday fluorescence microscopy and optogenetics applications.

Broad coverage offers compatibility with a wide range of compatible fluorophores and opsins, from DAPI through YFP to Cy5.

And, as global regulations continue to move away from mercury-based illumination technologies, LED systems such as the pE-400^max offer a clear and future-ready alternative. By eliminating the need for mercury or metal-halide lamps, the pE-400^max helps laboratories prepare for evolving compliance requirements while also improving safety and sustainability.
