X-Cite® Optical Power Measurement System

X-Cite XP750 and XR2100

The X-Cite® Optical Power Measurement System includes both the X-Cite® XR2100 Power Meter and the X-Cite® XP750 Objective Plane Power Sensor. Designed for measuring optical power in watts at the specimen level, the X-Cite® XP750 has a low, sleek profile that fits on the microscope stage and offers the versatility of measuring power output from an X-Cite® illuminator or any other epi-fluorescence light source.

The X-Cite® XR2100 and X-Cite® XP750 allow you to measure the optical power at the specimen level enabling consistent and repeatable illumination throughout research experiments, and also assist in equipment set-up and troubleshooting. With a PC interface and "Power Snapshot" tool, data can be easily stored electronically for complete experiment records.

For the ultimate in repeatability, the X-Cite® XR2100 will calibrate the X-Cite® exacte illuminator using power data from either the light guide input port or the X-Cite® XP750 at the objective plane.
