SOLA light engine(TM): solid state white-light excitation subsystem
Beaverton, Oregon - Lumencor, Inc., a biotechnology company developing lighting solutions for the life sciences, has capitalized on her state of the art technology to
release the new SOLA light engine, a direct replacement for metal halide, HBO and Xenon arc lamps. The SOLA light engine offers unprecedented access to solid state illumination at a price comparable to most lamps, and is suitable for use with a host of life science equipment, including fluorescence microscopes.
The SOLA light engine produces continuous, powerful white light from 380 to 680 nm, allowing the user simple integration with existing filter cubes and hardware configurations. The SOLA may be controlled by every microscopy software in the marketplace, and couples to all major brands of microscope via 3mm liquid light guide and adapters. Customers will never again have to worry about arc lamp alignment, installation and replacement, as the SOLA requires no maintenance and the expected lifetime is greater than 15,000 hours. Short warm-up time and superior stability mean that these are all usable hours with highly reproducible output power.
