Scientifica SciLumi - White NIR

Dual LED light source for white and NIR illumination

SciLumi - White NIR is a compact, all-in-one LED light source that offers both white light and 775 nm near-infrared (NIR) transmitted illumination. The dual light source provides white light for use with eyepieces and, at the flick of a switch, NIR illumination to enable light penetration into tissue, allowing visualisation of patchable cells using a camera, such as the SciCam+.

The system features independent brightness control, stable and even illumination, and — as it is designed specifically for electrophysiology — ultra-low noise performance. The system replaces the need for traditional halogen lamp houses and blocking filters.

Product benefits

All-in-one light source for white and NIR imaging

Combine white light and near-infrared illumination in a single LED unit, ideal for setups that use eyepieces and NIR contrast techniques like IR-DIC. This helps streamline your workflow and offers more flexibility for a wide range of experimental needs.

Fine light control for reproducible patch clamp experiments

Adjust each light source independently without the need for filters, making it easy to set precise, repeatable illumination levels that support consistency across sensitive electrophysiology protocols.

Keep cells patched while switching light source

Switch between white and NIR modes without touching the microscope. This avoids vibration and interference that can break seals or introduce noise, helping you maintain stability and reproducibility in sensitive electrophysiology experiments.

Supports signal quality in sensitive experiments

The fanless, LED-based design provides low-noise, energy-efficient performance, helping you achieve high-quality patch clamp recordings while supporting sustainability in your lab setup.

Designed to keep you in flow

A single, space-saving control box gives you one-handed full access to both light sources, with a clear LED indicator to show the active mode. Helping you to stay focused on the experiment—not the equipment.

Supports sustainable lab practices

Scilumi’s use of energy-efficient LED technology significantly reduces power consumption compared to traditional halogen bulbs, lowering running costs and supporting more sustainable lab practices.

Testimonials

"The LED lamp is extremely powerful and offers a very wide range of intensity for the infrared light, which makes visualisation of cells within a slice very easy. The controller is very intuitive to use and allows fine control of light intensity and quick switch between white and infrared light."
