When the built-in incandescent light source of my venerable Olympus microscope failed after many years of use, I decided to design a reliable modern replacement. A 1-W white LED (SEOUL X42182, 350 mA ...

Lights out for halogen microscope lighting? Take a closer look at your microscope and it may well have an energy-hungry halogen lamp for transmitted illumination. For this reason, the UK government ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Microscopes have become essential work bench tools for hackers, allowing them to work with tiny SMD parts for PCB assembly and inspection. Couple of years back, mad scientist [smellsofbikes] picked up ...

Designed for deployment in inspection microscopes, the RL-9 LED ringlight can illuminate a 2" spot with an intensity of 55,000 lux, nearly the brightness of direct sunlight. This bright output allows ...

The LV-1000 illuminator for microscopes uses LEDs to provide 360°, shadow-free, uniform illumination, and reduced glare as compared to other light sources. The LV-1000 illuminator for microscopes uses ...
