High-Performance LED Fluorescence Illumination for Clinical, Research & Diagnostic Microscopy
The Magnus EpiLED Fluorescence Attachment is a compact, high-efficiency reflected LED fluorescence illumination module designed for seamless integration with popular routine and research microscopes. Engineered for long life (30,000 hrs), stable illumination, low heat output, and precise excitation/emission performance, the Magnus EpiLED series provides an economical and reliable alternative to traditional mercury-vapor fluorescence systems.
Ideal for TB detection (Auramine-O), malaria screening, immunofluorescence assays, autoimmune diagnostics, and nucleic acid staining, these modules attach externally and convert standard microscopes into fully functional fluorescence systems—without requiring an internal fluorescence turret.
Key Features
- Long-life LED illumination (30,000 hrs) – zero warm-up, low power consumption, and no lamp replacements.
- High-intensity 3W LEDs with narrow excitation peaks (450 nm, 480 nm, 535 nm, UV).
- Front sliding filter carrier (1–2 position) for quick filter switching.
- Integrated iris diaphragm for enhanced image contrast and sharpness.
- No alignment or calibration required; plug-and-play design.
- Safe, cool operation—no UV leakage, no thermal drift.
- Universal power compatibility: 100–240 V AC adaptor included.
- Compatible with major routine microscopes (Magnus, Olympus CX series).
