Fluorescent light source
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 11/1/2005
The Exfo X-Cite 120 fluorescent source has a light spectrum similar to that of conventional mercury lamps, but lasts much longer, providing a 1500-hr bulb life. The integrated Intelli-Lamp system provides safe operation, ensuring that the light source cannot be switched off while the lamp is still hot. The light is directed to the microscope via a flexible liquid guide. The intensity of the light emitted by the Exfo X-Cite 120 can be controlled with an optional iris-diaphragm. Alignment-free adapters are available for Olympus BX2 and IX2 series microscopes. Olympus, www.olympus-europa.com.
