NIGHTSEA light heads

A white light head is also available as an illumination option for the Stereo Microscope Fluorescence Adapter. If you are using the NIGHTSEA- System for fluorescence, you do not need a separate light source for your white-light work - just exchange the fluorescence excitation light head module for the white-light module in a matter of seconds. It is extremely convenient for general illumination and as a focusing aid for fluorescence imaging.Please note: New Light Heads use BNC connectors. The original NIGHTSEA Light Head V1 connector has been discontinued. These two bullets summarize the rules for combining light heads and filters.For any excitation light head, you can pair it with any of the barrier filters that are normally used with a light head of a longer wavelength.For any...

A white light head is also available as an illumination option for the Stereo Microscope Fluorescence Adapter. If you are using the NIGHTSEA- System for fluorescence, you do not need a separate light source for your white-light work - just exchange the fluorescence excitation light head module for the white-light module in a matter of seconds. It is extremely convenient for general illumination and as a focusing aid for fluorescence imaging.

Please note: New Light Heads use BNC connectors. The original NIGHTSEA Light Head V1 connector has been discontinued. 

These two bullets summarize the rules for combining light heads and filters.

  • For any excitation light head, you can pair it with any of the barrier filters that are normally used with a light head of a longer wavelength.
  • For any barrier filter, you can pair it with any of the light heads that are normally used with a barrier filter of a shorter wavelength.

This table summarizes the standard light source/filter combinations:

Designation Excitation Emission
UV – Ultraviolet 360 – 380nm 415nm longpass
VI – Violet 400 – 415nm 450nm longpass
RB – Royal Blue 440 – 460nm 500nm longpass
RB – Royal Blue 440 – 460nm 500 – 560nm bandpass
CY – Cyan 490 – 515nm 550nm longpass
GR – Green 510 – 540nm 600nm longpass

 

The possible combinations are shown in this table, with permissible pairings highlighted in green, forbidden combinations in red.
