The X-Cite® 120Q delivers rich spectral excitation and uniform wide-field fluorescence illumination to the sample plane. Designed with our proprietary Intelli-Lamp® technology for maintaining optimum lamp temperature and automatically accumulating lamp hours, the X-Cite 120Q provides more than 2000 hours of life. Its 120 Watt lamp is pre-aligned allowing a simple, one-step process for replacements. The optional adjustable iris allows the user to set the intensity level of illumination with a built-in 5-step iris to optimize specimen illumination and help minimize photobleaching of fluorophores. The X-Cite 120Q illumination system is ideally suited for routine assays and use in multi-user facilities. X-Cite 120Q is also available for online purchasing at Digi-Key.com.

Long-life Lamp
At the heart of the X-Cite 120Q is our unique Intelli-Lamp technology that maintains optimum lamp temperature. With a 2000-hour warranty and a typical lamp life of over 2500 hours, the powerful X-Cite 120Q has ten times the life span of a conventional mercury lamp, saving you time and reducing operating costs.

Heat and Vibration Reduction
The X-Cite 120Q light source connects to your microscope with a liquid light guide. Remote placement of the unit ensures that no heat or vibration is transferred to the microscope and allows you to optimize valuable work space.

Hot-Strike Prevention
Hot strikes shorten lamp life and cause premature intensity degradation. The Intelli-Lamp continually monitors lamp temperature, preventing restrikes until the lamp cools to a 'safe-to-restart' state.

Optimized Microscope Adapter Optics
X-Cite adapter optics are designed and tested specifically for each microscope model to optimize intensity and provide superior illumination uniformity. With a wide selection of adapters available, X-Cite is compatible with all major microscope brands.

Safety First
X-Cite systems are designed with safety in mind, from the safety interlock switches and light shields to help protect against accidental UV/bright light exposure
