The AvaLight-XE is a xenon pulsed light source, used for UV-applications, such as fluorescence measurements. The AvaLight-XE needs an additional cable to be connected with the AvaSpec spectrometer (IC-DB15-2 for AvaSpec-USB1/ IC-DB26-2 for AvaSpec-USB2) to synchronize 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 (below 200nm) with a special DUV bulb. A Special CUV-XE direct attach cuvette holder is available for fluorescence applications.
The lamp needs an extra PS12-1.0A 12VDC power converter.
