Product Overview

This listing is a complete Olympus 50W mercury fluorescence illumination kit comprising the U-LH50HG 50W mercury arc lamphouse and the U-RFLT50G 50W power supply. Mercury arc lamps produce an intense, broad-spectrum output spanning the UV and visible range, with characteristic high-intensity emission peaks at wavelengths that align well with the excitation spectra of the most widely used fluorescent dyes and proteins — including DAPI (360nm), FITC/GFP (490nm), TRITC/mCherry (550nm), and Texas Red (590nm). This makes the 50W mercury arc lamp a versatile and cost-effective fluorescence excitation source for multi-label immunofluorescence, live cell fluorescence imaging, and FISH applications. The 50W format provides excellent fluorescence image brightness while generating less heat than 100W mercury systems, making it well suited for routine fluorescence microscopy on inverted (CKX, IX series) and upright (BX, CX series) Olympus platforms. The U-RFLT50G power supply provides stable, regulated current to the mercury arc lamp for consistent output intensity. This unit is in excellent condition at a significant discount from the list price. Note: mercury arc lamps require careful handling and disposal in accordance with local regulations due to mercury content.
