pT-100 LED Illumination System for Transmitted Light Microscopy

Economical alternative to 100W halogen lamps

The pT-100 is a compact and simple-to-use LED illumination system for transmitted light applications, including brightfield, darkfield, DIC, Dodt gradient contrast and phase contrast

The system is available in four variants to bring the benefits of LEDs to modern laboratories. A broad white system provides a safer and convenient alternative to halogen by reducing harmful UV exposure to the eyes and is ideal for long hours spent at the microscope, while three narrow bandwidth options optimise image quality through increased contrast.

  • Higher contrast images: pT-100-525
    Narrow bandwidth at 525 nm is optimised for the spectral response of most scientific cameras and reduces background noise from a phosphored LED.
  • Revealing details in thick samples: pT-100-635
    Narrow bandwidth at 635 nm provides deeper penetration, which is excellent for revealing detail in thicker samples.
  • Infrared illumination of thicker samples: pT-100-770
    Narrow bandwidth at 770 nm provides deeper sample penetration techniques that require the use of infrared light.
