View fluorescence in the lab or the field! The Xite™ Fluorescence Flashlight System includes single-wavelength fluorescence excitation flashlights available with any of the five wavelengths in the NIGHTSEA line, paired with matching barrier filter glasses for maximum viewing contrast. Genotyping your transgenic organisms, screening cell cultures, inspecting parts with fluorescent penetrants, finding fluorescing critters in the field, … the Xite line provides what you need.

Flashing mode for enhanced detection in ambient light

As bright as fluorescence may appear when you use an intense light source to view it in conditions of darkness, in most cases it actually tends to be a relatively weak effect that is easily masked by other light. If you try to find fluorescence when there is moderate ambient light (room light, sunlight, …), any fluorescing subject will respond to the excitation, but the response may be too weak to notice easily.

But there’s a trick – by making the excitation light source blink repetitively (a strobe effect), any fluorescence will blink at the same rate, while the illuminated background will not. This flickering increases the apparent contrast and thus increases detectability.

Available wavelengths

  • Wavelength sets are named and color coded for the color of the excitation light, not the color of the emitted fluorescence.
Designation Excitation Barrier Filter Glasses
UV – Ultraviolet 360 – 380nm 415nm longpass
VI – Violet 400 – 415nm 450nm longpass
RB – Royal Blue 440 – 460nm 500nm longpass
RB-GO – Royal Blue, Green Only 440 – 460nm 500 – 560nm bandpass
CY – Cyan 490 – 515nm 550nm longpass
GR – Green 510 – 540nm 600nm longpass
  • With the Royal Blue (RB) excitation we offer two options for filter glasses – longpass and bandpass.

Camera filter recommendations

If you want to use the Xite as a light source for fluorescence photography, we have prepared recommendations for compatible off-the-shelf camera filters.
