Bulbs frequently need replacing, which can be a challenge when accessing the lamp housing of a large confocal system. Moreover, the alignment required after replacing a bulb each time is tricky. LEDs ...

Confocal and widefield microscopy each offer unique benefits and many researchers often require access to both technologies. In this issue of Under the Microscope, Dr Maria Giubettini, Application ...

This relatively simple circuit uses a 6-V DC supply with a PWM current-source configuration to provide efficient, adjustable dimming of a white LED over a wide range, needed to accommodate the unique ...

Users of Olympus’ SZX ™ and SZ ™ series stereo microscopes and the MVX10 fluorescence microscope can expand their observation capabilities thanks to a new slim 41.5 mm (1.6 in.) LED transmitted light ...

The Amora Series is a custom microscopy illumination platform from CoolLED, a global expert in the generation and delivery of LED light. Since 2006 when CoolLED launched the first commercially ...

Engineers at Duke University have developed a microscope that adapts its lighting angles, colors and patterns while teaching itself the optimal settings needed to complete a given diagnostic task. In ...

This is the world’s smallest silicon (Si) light-emitting diode (LED) - smaller than the wavelength of light - with a light intensity comparable to much larger, state-of-the-art Si LEDs and with ...
