The X-Cite mini+® is a compact, white-light LED illumination system engineered for dependable performance in routine fluorescence imaging. Combining high power, small footprint, and exceptional value, it delivers bright, even illumination ideal for a wide range of microscopy applications.

Built with the latest LED technology, the X-Cite mini+ provides more power at the sample plane than any previous direct-coupled system. Two models—365 nm and 385 nm—offer flexibility to match your existing DAPI filter sets or imaging preferences, giving laboratories a simple and efficient upgrade path from traditional lamp-based sources.



KEY FEATURES


Powerful Illumination, Compact Design

The X-Cite mini+ delivers impressive output from a single, compact, air-cooled unit—providing the performance of higher-end systems at a fraction of the cost. Its improved LED technology ensures bright, uniform illumination for consistent fluorescence imaging results. Designed for reliability and efficiency, it’s a powerful solution for everyday imaging needs without added complexity or expense.

Flexible UV Options

Offering a choice of UV excitation wavelengths, the X-Cite mini+ is available in two models to suit different laboratory requirements. The XMPL version includes a 385 nm LED, delivering a straightforward, drop-in replacement for earlier systems. The XMPS version features a 365 nm LED optimized for standard narrow DAPI filters—making it a practical, mercury-free alternative to conventional light sources.

For labs that rarely require UV illumination, the system’s intuitive speedDIAL™ controller allows quick “UV off” operation to preserve LED lifetime and optimize workflow.

Convenient, Built-In Control Options

Designed with user flexibility in mind, the X-Cite mini+ offers multiple control methods to suit different working styles. Users can adjust illumination manually via the speedDIAL interface, operate hands-free with an optional foot pedal, or integrate the system seamlessly with automated imaging setups using USB or TTL control inputs.

Maintenance-Free Operation

With a long-life LED rated for 20,000 hours and a direct-coupled optical path, the X-Cite mini+ eliminates lamp changes, mercury disposal, and light guide replacements—reducing downtime and operating costs. This zero-maintenance design provides continuous, reliable illumination for years of use.

Energy Efficient and Environmentally Friendly

The X-Cite mini+ combines energy-efficient LED technology with instant on/off functionality to minimize power consumption and extend component life. Its mercury-free design supports environmentally responsible laboratory practices, aligning with ACCU-SCOPE’s commitment to sustainability and performance.
