Nikon Software NIS PLUG-IN (exfo x-cite pc) (65560)

The Nikon Software NIS Plug-in (exfo x-cite pc) is a dedicated module for the NIS-Elements imaging platform that enables full control and automation of EXFO X-Cite light sources, such as the X-Cite 120 series, directly from the software interface. This plug-in is widely used in laboratory, research, and industrial environments where precise and repeatable illumination is required for fluorescence and other light-dependent microscopy applications. By integrating the EXFO X-Cite system with NIS-Elements, users can automate light source functions such as intensity adjustment, shutter control, and wavelength selection, streamlining complex imaging workflows and improving reproducibility.

Provides software-based control of EXFO X-Cite illumination devices within the NIS-Elements environment, allowing for seamless integration of light source management with image acquisition and experiment automation.

Key Functions:

• Enables turning the EXFO X-Cite light source on or off directly from the software

• Allows users to adjust light intensity using sliders or numeric input

• Supports opening and closing the light source shutter for precise timing during image capture

• Provides options for selecting and controlling specific wavelengths or filter positions when using multi-wavelength X-Cite systems

• Integrates with triggered acquisition and recipe-based workflows for synchronized illumination and imaging

• Offers pulse mode for generating light pulses of defined length, useful for experiments requiring controlled exposure

Compatibility:
Designed for use with EXFO X-Cite 120 series and other supported X-Cite models, in combination with Nikon microscopes and the NIS-Elements software platform

Applications:
Fluorescence microscopy
Live cell imaging
Time-lapse experiments
Multi-channel and multi-dimensional imaging
Automated imaging protocols

Main Features:

• Centralizes control of light source parameters within the imaging software

• Enhances workflow efficiency by automating illumination settings alongside image capture

• Supports advanced imaging techniques that require precise and repeatable light delivery

• Allows for easy integration with other NIS-Elements modules and device controls

This plug-in is essential for users who need reliable, automated, and software-integrated control of their EXFO X-Cite light sources during advanced microscopy experiments, ensuring consistent illumination and improved experimental reproducibility.
