Seamless software control of the pE-400max in cellSens Dimension with new pE-800sim Mode
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-400max Illumination System is fully supported in Evident/Olympus cellSens Dimension imaging software, from Version 4.1.
This is thanks to the pE-800sim mode, which is included with the latest pE-400max firmware versions and also requires the latest LightBridge release. To find out how to update to compatible versions, and run the pE-800sim mode, follow our new Quick Start Guide or watch our tutorial video.
Which Imaging Software programs can the pE-400 Series be controlled in?
The pE-400 Series Illumination Systems are integrated into several imaging software platforms, including Leica LAS X, Nikon NIS Elements and µManager. Integration allows users to control illumination settings directly from the software environment, improving workflow efficiency and data consistency.
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 where available video tutorials to help you get started.
About the pE-400max
The popular pE-400max 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.
