High power red and green LEDs for fluorescence microscopy

Prizmatix has added 520-nm and 630-nm ultra high power LEDs to its modular OptiBlocks family. The LEDs can be used as excitation sources for fluorescence microscopy. The UHP-Mic-LED-520 provides greater than 0.5 Watts of collimated green LED output power and its LED driver supports CW or pulsed operation. The UHP-Mic-LED-630 provides greater than 1 W of collimated red LED ouput power. Both are compatible with Prizmatix modular microscope LED light source products, and allow narrowing of the LED spectrum with an optional band pass filter installed in the head. The light sources can also be used for small animal imaging, photoactivation, FRAP, and FISH.
