DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE
2.1
Name, intended use, and main features
Manufacturer’s designation: Colibri 7
Colibri 7 is designed to be used as a light source for reflected light fluorescence applications.
It can be used in connection with the following upright microscopes:
−
Axio Imager
−
Axio Examiner
−
Axioplan 2
−
Axioskop 2
−
Axioskop 2 FS
−
Axioskop 40
−
Axio Scope.A1
and with the following inverted microscope:
−
Axio Observer
−
Axio Vert.A1
−
Axiovert 200
The device has the following essential features:
−
High-end LED light source for fluorescence applications with visible and UV light for direct
connection to the microscope, no adjustment necessary
−
Four different variations (fixed LEDs), equipped with four to seven excitation lines with different
emission wavelengths and fixed excitation filters
−
LED emission is individually adjustable for each LED in increments of 1 % (1 – 100 %)
−
Standby mode to reduce power consumption
−
Real-time stabilization of brightness for low-noise image captures
−
Long-time stabilization and performance optimization to improve the comparability of image
captures
−
Integrated and motorized switchable excitation filters
−
Calibrated and monitored lamp intensity to improve quantification of image results
−
Very quick switching on, over and off of the LED modules, no shutter required
−
Control via the TFT display of Axio Observer 7 / Z1 stands via CAN connector
−
Optional control via software ZEN 2.3 (blue edition), manual control panel or Trigger Box
−
Integrated interface for triggered image capture from ZEN 2.3 (blue edition)
−
Specific filter sets (as P&C filter modules without excitation filters) for the LED variations deliverable
−
Minimum heat development
−
Guaranteed lifetime 15,000 h for each bulb per LED line
−
Easy integration in 3rd party software packages via LED Trigger Box
