Achieving fast fluorescence with your imaging software

Written by CoolLED

Controlling the LED Illumination System in your imaging software of choice is important for setting up and running multi-channel fluorescence experiments. Most of the major imaging software platforms such as Nikon NIS Elements offer integration of the CoolLED pE-800 Illumination System to allow high-speed, 8-channel LED illumination control. Where direct integration is not yet available and you wish to capitalise on <7 µs imaging, this can be achieved in many software platforms using the pE-6501-8 USB-controlled trigger box.

A new CoolLED tutorial video demonstrates how to set up the pE-800 Illumination System and pE-6501-8 to your PC. Watch the new video here>>
