Nikon C-HGFIE Intensilight, motor (65376)

The Nikon C-HGFIE Intensilight is a motorized, precentered fiber optic illuminator designed for advanced fluorescence microscopy. It provides stable, high-intensity illumination using a 130W ultrahigh-pressure mercury lamp, making it ideal for multi-color fluorescence imaging and time-lapse experiments. The precentered lamp design means there is no need for manual centering or focusing after lamp replacement, ensuring consistent and uniform lighting. The system also allows the light source to be placed away from the microscope, minimizing heat and electrical noise near sensitive samples.

Purpose and Features:

• Provides high-intensity, uniform illumination for fluorescence microscopy with a 130W mercury lamp

• Precentered lamp design eliminates the need for manual alignment, maintaining consistent illumination even after lamp changes

• Average lamp life is 2000 hours, reducing the frequency of replacements

• Six-step neutral density (ND) filter allows light intensity adjustment from 3% to 100% transmittance

• Built-in shutter can be controlled remotely or via PC using Nikon NIS-Elements software, supporting automated workflows and reducing photobleaching

• Motorized operation enables remote or software-based control of shutter and light intensity, with a fast shutter response of 100 ms

• Safety features include automatic lamp shut-off if the cover is open, the fiber is disconnected, or overheating is detected

• Light guide fiber is available in 1.5 m or 3.0 m lengths for flexible installation

Operation and Control:

• Shutter and light intensity can be managed through the C-HGFIE-C HG controller or external equipment via RS-232C interface

• Supports PC-based control for integration into automated imaging systems

• Compatible with Nikon microscopes such as LV150NA, LV100NDA, ECLIPSE L300N, and L200N(ND)

Applications:
Multi-color fluorescence imaging
Long-term time-lapse observation of live cells
Automated imaging workflows in research and industrial laboratories

Key Benefits:
No need for lamp centering or focusing, saving time and ensuring reliable results
Reduced heat and electrical noise at the microscope due to remote light source placement
Long lamp life and automated controls support high-throughput and sensitive imaging tasks

The Nikon C-HGFIE Intensilight motorized illuminator is a reliable and efficient solution for demanding fluorescence microscopy applications, providing powerful, stable, and easily controlled illumination.
