Hi Hans,

Basically, same answer as Gabor... We are happy with ours. We have
CoolLEDs both on our confocals (for visual inspection, this is more than
sufficient) and on some of our wide-field live cell imaging setups.
Intensity is lower than a strong metal halide light, but with live cells
you want anyhow to avoid photobleaching and photodamage...

Best regards,

Laurent.

Hello All,

 

We are buying a new confocal/epi microscope.

 

And are interested in experience of users with the CoolLED system. 

Do you recommend the CoolLED system over a metal halide lamp?

We want to use the system with epi fluorescence of live cells with
Hoechst,
GFP and Cy3 channels.

 

 

Thanks,
