HG Precentered Fiber Illuminator
The light intensity and shutter can be controlled from an optional dedicated remote controller or a PC that incorporates Nikon’s NIS-Elements imaging software. The light intensity and shutter can be programmed for each application and controlled in conjunction with the microscope and peripheral equipment. This enables automatic control during excitation light changeover and observation of multi-stained specimens.
Configured with ECLIPSE Ti-E

Difficult lamp alignment is a thing of the past
The Intensilight mercury-fiber illuminator employs a precentered, long-life lamp that requires no centering while allowing users to capture high-quality fluorescence images with uniform brightness.
Precentered lamp requires no alignment
The use of a precentered lamp and dedicated optical fibers eliminates the need for cumbersome centering and focusing operations, even after the lamp is replaced. Uniform brightness is always assured.
2000-hour long-life lamp
The lamp lasts an average of 2000 hours, or 10 times longer than conventional mercury lamps. Therefore, replacement costs and microscope downtime are greatly reduced.
Reduced heat and electrical noise
Dedicated optical fibers (1.5m, 3m) allow the light source to be placed away from the microscope, reducing heat and electrical noise on the microscope body. This is particularly suited to long-time fluorescence observation (time-lapse observation) of live cells.
Shutter and light intensity control
There are six levels of light intensity to choose from depending on the specimen. The shutter allows light to the specimen to be easily shut off without the power being turned off. Therefore, photobleaching can be reduced to a minimum when observing multi-stained specimens.
Greatly increased brightness for green spectrum
At wavelengths of around 450nm to 500nm, brightness is much higher than that of a conventional mercury lamp, making the lamp ideally suited to observation of green fluorescence such as FITC and GFP.
DC lighting for constant light intensity
As DC (direct current) lighting is less influenced by frequency than AC (alternating current) lighting, DC provides constant, non­fluctuating light.
Safety measures
When the lamp replacement cover is open or the optical fibers are not attached, the interlock automatically shuts the light off to protect the user from possible light exposure. Furthermore, when the lamp temperature sensor detects abnormally high temperatures, power is cut to protect the lamp.
