In the rapidly evolving world, the demand for high-performance, automated solutions is more critical than ever
At CoolLED, we’re proud to offer innovative LED light sources that cater to a variety of OEM requirements and applications. However, we recognise that our products are often just one part within a bigger, complete OEM solution – and that our light sources work exceptionally well with the offerings from Prior Scientific, a highly respected name in microscope automation and precision instrumentation.
This article explores how our LED Illumination Systems and Prior’s advanced systems can complement one another to deliver an exceptional product.
Our LED Light Sources: Your Go-To Solution for OEM Requirements
Since we introduced the first commercially available LED illumination system for fluorescence microscopy in 2006, we have become synonymous with quality and reliability. Our range of LED light sources feature a broad spectrum from 340 to 840 nm, enabling researchers to capture high-quality images with remarkable precision. These systems are designed for seamless integration with a variety of imaging applications, providing:
- Customisable Configurations: With options for direct fit or liquid light guide delivery, our light sources can be tailored to meet the specific needs of any microscopy system.
- Unmatched Performance: Our LED systems offer instant on/off functionality, reduced heat output, and extended lifetimes, all while minimising the risk of phototoxicity and ensuring consistent results.
- User-Friendly Control: The intuitive control interfaces allow researchers to manage light intensity with precision, facilitating complex imaging techniques and enhancing workflow efficiency.
As researchers continue to explore new methodologies and applications, we remain committed to providing the reliable illumination solutions that are essential for advancing scientific discovery.

A Perfect Partnership: Complementary Strengths
While we and Prior Scientific operate in different segments of the market, our complementary strengths allows us to offer powerful solutions to enhance modern microscopy. By integrating our LED light sources with Prior’s automated stages, researchers can achieve precise imaging and streamline their workflows, making the most of their microscopy systems.
Enhanced Imaging Capabilities
Our LED light sources consistently deliver a broad spectrum of wavelengths. This allows researchers to tailor the illumination to the specific needs of their samples, whether they are studying fluorescent proteins, investigating cellular structures, or conducting high-speed imaging.
For instance, when paired with Prior’s ProScan motorised stages, which provide precise control over sample positioning, researchers can quickly switch between different wavelengths to optimise image quality without the need for extensive manual adjustments.
Streamlined Workflows
Our light sources offer instant on/off functionality, which, when used with Prior’s automated stages, greatly reduces the time spent preparing for experiments. For example, during time-lapse imaging studies, the ability to control light intensity and timing through our systems ensures that samples are illuminated consistently, reducing the risk of phototoxicity while maintaining high image quality.
Customisable Solutions for Diverse Applications
Both our products and Prior’s automated solutions are highly customisable, allowing users to adapt the systems to meet their specific research requirements. For example, researchers can configure our LED systems to work with Prior’s robotic sample handling solutions, facilitating high-throughput screening in drug discovery or other applications.
Sustainability and Efficiency
In addition to enhancing performance, our LED light sources contribute to sustainability efforts in the laboratory. They are energy-efficient, with a significantly longer lifespan than traditional light sources, and eliminate the need for hazardous materials like mercury. When combined with Prior’s quality automation systems, which are designed with efficiency in mind, laboratories can create workflows that not only improve research outcomes but also support environmentally responsible practices.
Collaboration Through the CoolLED OEM Network
Prior Scientific is a partner of the CoolLED OEM Network, a collaboration designed to connect companies offering complementary solutions for original equipment manufacturers.
This network brings together expertise in illumination, automation, optics, and more, enabling OEMs to build integrated, high-performance systems tailored to their needs.
By combining our cutting-edge LED light sources with Prior’s precision motorised stages, customers gain access to a seamless, customisable solution that addresses every aspect of their research and manufacturing workflows.
