NIGHTSEA® for Hirox
NIGHTSEA Fluorescence Adapter for Hirox Digital Microscope

The NIGHTSEA Model SFA Fluorescence Adapter system can add a versatile fluorescence imaging capability to the Hirox digital microscope. Visit our gallery of images made with the NIGHTSEA system and the Hirox microscope.
Fluorescence solutions
The key elements of any fluorescence system are
- a light source that produces sufficient energy in the appropriate wavelength range to excite fluorescence in the sample of interest
- a barrier filter in the viewing path that blocks reflected excitation light while transmitting the fluorescence emitted by the sample
NIGHTSEA offers high intensity LED light sources available in five excitation wavelength ranges (see list further down page).
Here are samples of what you can see.
The NIGHTSEA UV system can be used with the HR-1020E and HR-2016E lenses without a barrier filter. We are currently working on adapters for the full range of Hirox lenses, for use with all of our wavelength options. Please contact [email protected] to discuss your application and compatible solutions.
*Wavelength sets
There are five excitation/emission wavelength combinations available for the system.
Color | Designation | Excitation | Emission |
Ultraviolet | UV | 360 - 380nm | 415nm longpass |
Violet | VI | 400 - 415nm | 450nm longpass |
Royal Blue | RB | 440 - 460nm | 500nm longpass |
Cyan | CY | 490 - 515nm | 550nm longpass |
Green | GR | 510 - 540nm | 600nm longpass |
