CoolLED pe-300 Series U-AW Adaptor Installation Guide
CoolLED pe-300 Series MB with 55E U-AW Adaptor. The new U-AW adaptor now enables use of the pe-300 lite, pe-300 white, and pe-300 ultra with upright FV3000 confocal microscopes and FVMPE-RS multiphoton microscopes from Olympus. These are the first LED Illumination Systems to be compatible with these set-ups. The inverted FV3000 confocal microscopes do not include a U-AW attenuator wheel, thus do not require the adaptor. Currently, the FLUOVIEW software for confocal and multiphoton microscopes do not support control of the pe- 300 white or pe-300 ultra. Therefore, the pe-300 lite will be the preferred variant in most configurations.
What is a -55E Adaptor? The -55E Adaptor is a 2 part adaptor to connect the U-AW Filter Wheel to the CoolLED pe-300 Series Light Source, designed specifically for the Olympus Confocal system based on an upright microscope body. The First Part is the projection optics component. This part directs the light into a Liquid Light Guide (LLG) after passing through the U-AW filter wheel. The First Part is installed into the pe-300 Series Light Source body during assembly for the model specified on the Olympus Purchase Order to CoolLED. The Second Part is connected to the U-AW Filter Wheel as outlined in the instructions on the following pages. As the First Part of the -55E Adaptor has to be installed at the CoolLED factory to ensure quality standards and warranty coverage, field retrofit of this adapter is not offered.
