Lumina XRMS Series III Hardware Manual Chapter 8 | Fluorescence Module 59
The fluorescence light source module (Figure 8.3) provides the fluorescence excitation light. This
light source consists of a 150-watt quartz tungsten halogen lamp with a dichroic reflector. Figure 8.4
shows the relative spectral radiance output of the lamp/ reflector combination and indicates emission
throughout the IVIS Lumina XRMS wavelength range of 400-950 nm. The EKE-ER lamp provides
improved light output in the 400-950nm range compared to the standard EKE lamp. Because of the
higher temperature of the ER lamps, a high temperature fiber optic is used to deliver the light to the
excitation filter wheel.
