Prizmatix has released an ultra-high-power light-emitting-diode (LED) light source for fluorescence microscopy.
The 520nm LED provides almost a 10-fold increase of power in comparison with similar high-power LED devices.
The ultra-high-power LED can replace lasers and lamps in many power-demanding applications, such as fluorescence microscopy, machine vision and chemical reaction activation.
This new member of the modular Optiblocks range provides more than 500mW of collimated green LED power on its output.
The LED driver supports continuous-wave or pulsed operation.
Key features include and a single-chip ultra-high-power LED and TTL external triggering.
The device is suitable for fluorescence excitation.
The LED spectrum can be narrowed by an optional band-pass filter installed inside the head.
The speckle-free device also features stable, precisely adjustable power, a long life (no lamp or laser tube replacement are required) and a rapid warm-up time.
