Newport is now offering microscopists and the life sciences a truly bright, automated arc lamp replacement with the release of the SOLA-SE-II light engine. The SOLA-SE-II, by Lumencor, produces white light in the form of continuous spectral output from 380 to 680 nm and is suitable for imaging the most common fluorophores and fluorescent proteins.

This light engine builds on Lumencor’s core, patented solid state light source technology. The output of a family of sources is combined to generate optical power exceeding that of traditional scientific lamps. The SOLA-SE-II exceeds lamp performance in the form of powerful, cool, stable, robust, UV- and IR-free light production, and allows the user simple integration with existing filter cubes and hardware configurations. This additional flexibility provides individual users, core facilities, and OEMs a superior excitation subsystem. SOLA-SE-II light engines can be controlled by every microscopy software in the marketplace via USB. The SOLA-SE-II can be integrated with high end cameras. In so doing, they enable light blanking during framereadout. This prolongs sample life and minimizes photobleaching during sample illumination.

No replaceable parts make this product the most cost effective white light source on the market. The expected lifetime of the SOLA-SE-II is greater than 20,000 hours. Short warm-up time and superior stability mean these are all usable, working hours with highly reproducible output power. All light engines are mercury free and RoHS compliant with a rated intensity of 30-40 W/cm2.

随着SOLA-SE-II轻型发动机的发布，新港现在为显微镜学家和生命科学提供了一个真正明亮的自动弧光灯替代品。Lumencor公司生产的SOLA-SE-II可以产生380 ~ 680纳米的连续光谱输出的白光，适用于成像最常见的荧光和荧光蛋白。

该轻型发动机建立在Lumencor的核心，专利固态光源技术。一组光源的输出组合起来产生的光功率超过了传统的科学光源。SOLA-SE-II以强大的、酷的、稳定的、健壮的、UV和无紫外线的光产生的形式超越了灯的性能，并且允许用户简单地集成现有的过滤立方体和硬件配置。这种额外的灵活性为个人用户、核心设施和oem提供了一个优越的励磁子系统。SOLA-SE-II轻型发动机可以由市场上的每一个显微镜软件通过USB控制。SOLA-SE-II可以与高端相机集成。在这样做的时候，他们使光消隐在帧内。这样可以延长样品的使用寿命，减少样品光照时的光漂白。

没有可更换的部件使该产品成为市场上最具成本效益的白光光源。SOLA-SE-II的预期寿命超过20,000小时。较短的预热时间和优越的稳定性意味着这些都是可用的，工作时间具有高重现性的输出功率。所有轻型发动机均无汞，符合RoHS，额定强度为30-40瓦/cm2。
