X-taLight^™ 100 - Microscope UV
MD5-102

A Combined UV/ White Light source for illumination of biomolecular crystals.

Note: This product can be fitted to exisiting free standing microscopes (Leica, Nikon, Olympus etc...) as a custom fit. Obtain a UV microscope for protein crystallography without the expense of buying an entirely new microscope or loosing functionallity of your existing one. Picture below shows the adaptation to a Leica MZ125 mounting the UV nozzle on an articulating arm:

Benefits of the X-taLight 100:

Clear differentiation of protein/other biomolecules from salt crystals.
Direct attachment to existing lab microscopes = cost effective.
Visualize small crystals against a background of precipitate.
Minimal UV exposure time needed to avoid crystal damage.
Reduce time wasted on following up false crystalliation hits.
Can be supplied with CCD camera for taking live images or stills in UV.
Applicable to both Micro Matrix Seeding (MMS) and Lipidic Cubic Phase (LCP) crystalliation approaches - based on Trp fluorescence.
Can operate in cold rooms.

Keywords: UV fluorescence of protein crystals, uv microscope, protein vs salt crystal discrimination, trp fluorescence,
