TC-5500CW & TC-5600CW Inverted Biological Epi-Fluorescence Series
Advanced LED Fluorescence Imaging for Cellular Research and Clinical Diagnostics
Next-Generation Epi-Fluorescence Imaging
The Meiji Techno TC-5500CW & TC-5600CW Series represents a pinnacle in inverted biological microscopy, specifically designed for high-demand applications in oncology, immunology, genetics, and cell cytology. By integrating the award-winning CoolLED pE-300 Series, these microscopes eliminate the frustrations of traditional mercury lamps, providing a stable, repeatable, and mercury-free light source for your most critical research.
The CoolLED pE-300 Advantage
Traditional gas-discharge lamps (Mercury, Xenon) lose intensity over time and require frequent, costly replacements. The integrated LED system provides:
- Broad Spectral Coverage: Optimized for everyday fluorophores including DAPI, FITC, TRITC, Cy3, TxRed, and Cy5.
- Precise Control: Adjust intensity in 1% steps (0-100%) via a manual control pod—no ND filters required.
- Instant Performance: Instant On/Off functionality eliminates warm-up/cool-down periods and the need for mechanical shutters.
- Sustainability: 80% less power consumption with a 25,000-hour lifetime and zero mercury disposal issues.
