Light cube technology

EVOS light cubes integrate LEDs and high-performance filters in a novel illumination system that is designed to deliver precise control and exceptional reliability with minimal maintenance.

These interchangeable LED cubes provide:

Shorter light paths for more efficient fluorescent detection
Longer bulb lifetime (>50,000 hours) for lower maintenance costs
Adjustable light intensity to minimize photobleaching
Continuous light intensity for more consistent results

The table below lists some of the most commonly used light cubes. There are more than 20 to choose from.
