Hi Marcia,
X-Lite is from lumen Dynamics, which was bought and changed its name to
Excelitas,
http://www.excelitas.com/Pages/Product/X-Cite.aspxif you - or hopefully just your user - need to ship the unit,
http://www.excelitas.com/Pages/Support/Service-Instructions.aspxGeorge
p.s. try to move all your arc lamps and metal halide lamps to LEDs --
both because of bulb explosion risks, support stuff like below, and
because mercury is being regulated out of products (metal halide have
mercury too). Including the confocals. The X-Cite LED series have a
bunch of price points. See also ThorLabs LED4
http://www.thorlabs.com/newgrouppage9.cfm?objectgroup_id=3836though need to make sure you get all the components (controller, lamp,
LEDs, light guide, scope adapter). Rich Cole in Albany has had LED4 on
his confocal scope(s) for years - just looking by eye for fluorescence
works fine.
