AvaLight-XE, Xenon Pulsed Light Source

AvaLight-XE, Xenon Pulsed Light Source

The AvaLight-XE is a xenon pulsed light source used for UV applications such as fluorescence measurements. The AvaLight-XE requires an additional cable to be connected with the AvaSpec spectrometer (IC-DB15-2 for AvaSpec-USB1/ IC-DB26-2 for AvaSpec-USB2) to synchronise the flashes with the data taken by the spectrometer. In the AvaSoft software you can select one or multiple flashes per scan.

The AvaLight-XE has no internal flash generator and therefore needs to be connected to an external pulse generator as included in the AvaSpec spectrometers. 

The AvaLight-XE is also available for Deep UV applications (<200nm) with a special DUV bulb.

Also available is a special direct attach cuvette holder 'CUV-XE ' for fluorescence applications.

The light source requres a PS12V-1.0A 12VDC PSU for operation.
