Family of powerful light sources

Leistungselektronik JENA GmbH is adding another 5 models to LQ HXP 120, the family of powerful light sources launched in 2007. The LQ ME 200 and the LQ MH 200 DC put double irradiance with optimal coupling and long life of the lamp at the user’s disposal. Both light sources are available in a VIS and an UV version.

In comparison with AC short-arc lamps, the internal DC supply of the LQ MH 200 substantially reduces the time-related fluctuations of the light current while at the same time long-time stability has been improved. This makes the lamp extremely suitable for quantitative fluorescence microscopy and other time-critical applications.

The IR radiation exposure of the connected illumination systems is substantially reduced by the selective effect of the lamp reflector and an integrated heat protection filter, even with the higher lamp output ratings. All standard and multi-pole liquid light guides as well as fused single or multi-arm quartz fiber bundles can be used..

The range is complemented by the low-priced models LQ ME 070, LQ MH 075 DC and LQ XE 100 DC for routine and laboratory applications.

Typical of the product family are uniform optical, electrical interfaces and identical controls. Optional control by CAN bus or USB is available.

All illumination units, in addition to an electronic display of the lamp burning time with reset function, have 5-step mechanical brightness control and an electronic ultrafast shutter (actuation and switching time of approximately 6 ms). They are UL/CSA approved and their wide-range input makes them suitable for global use.
