Product Notice August 2026
Up to now we have offered what we call the ‘standard’ base with simple on/off operation, and a separate intensity control option, which we called DIM. As of August 2026 all systems will include the intensity control feature.
The intensity control does not degrade performance compared to the on/off switch. When first energized the unit comes on at the same full power level, while further rotation of the rotary knob reduces the intensity to about 30% of maximum.
Why would you want to reduce the excitation intensity, given that usually you want as much fluorescence response as you can get? There are situations for which it can be beneficial to reduce the excitation, and you can read about them in this article.
