› Service you with all the benefits of advanced LED technology: Expect stable illumination to obtain reproducible data. Achieve results faster with high imaging speeds and millisecond switching times. Fine-tune the excitation dose for even your most sensitive samples by precisely attenuating each individual LED. With up to nine illumination channels, image more labels than ever before across the entire spectrum – from UV to far red. And in combination with a multi-bandpass filter, you can use your Viluma for automated multichannel imaging on any manual microscope. What’s more, as the LED light sources are switched off instantly whenever acquisition is paused, you not just save lamp time but also help to protect our environment.
