This used Prizmatix Mic-LED-405 is a serious piece of fluorescence excitation hardware. If you work with fluorescence microscopy, optogenetics, or caged compound uncaging, you already know Prizmatix—they're a leading developer of ultra high-power LED illumination systems for scientific applications. This is their Mic-LED-405, designed specifically for applications requiring 405nm excitation where brightness and uniformity are critical.
Key specs:
Wavelength: 405nm ±5nm with a 15nm spectral half width
Collimated optical power: less than 1.5 Watts—exceptional brightness for demanding fluorescence work
LED type: Single monolithic chip Ultra High Power LED (less than 32W) for homogenous illumination across the entire field of view
Operation modes: Constant current or chopping modes with precise LED current setting via a 10-turn dial
Trigger input: Optically isolated TTL input for external triggering
Optional control: Analog input or USB interface for computer control
Microscope compatibility: Adaptors available for Olympus, Zeiss, Nikon, and Leica
This LED source is built for the most demanding fluorescence applications imaginable: fluorescence microscopy (including Alexa 405 and DyLight 405), whole body imaging of small animals, photoactivation, uncaging, FRAP studies, and optogenetics. There are no lamps to replace and no laser speckle—just smooth, powerful, homogenous illumination that's ready almost instantly.
Condition note: This unit is sold AS IS. Used condition with normal lab wear (scuffs, minor marks). LED output is NOT TESTED—power unverified. TTL trigger is NOT TESTED. No OptiBlocks, fiber couplers, or accessories included unless specified. Picture may not match product exactly.
