SPECTRA X Light Engine
With more than a decade of proven performance, Lumencor’s SPECTRA X Light Engine is a first choice illuminator for researchers worldwide. Fluorescence microscopists value both brightness and spectral flexibility. Exchangeable filters allow for all the freedom of a breadboard excitation subsystem in a compact, easy-to-use box. This updated 2023 SPECTRA X has a lot to offer. What remains the same is SPECTRA X’s user-exchangeable bandpass filters in a compact, turnkey illuminator. Spectral output can readily be adjusted to meet experimental requirements. This feature is even more useful due to the broader spectral range now available for selection. Stability and reproducibility are also preserved.
"My experiences with Lumencor Sales and Technical Support has been great, they’re very helpful."
