All outputs are optimized for high performance in terms of stable, durable, powerful, switchable light. Output power is independently selectable for each color band. Micro-second switching among color bands (5-10 kHz) is enabled electronically- eliminating all mechanical shuttering. SPECTRA light engines are the ideal choice for customers who wish to address unique spectral bands with independent electronic control in systems critically synchronized with camera exposure times.

LumencorCELESTA

The simplest light microscope consists of an objective lens and an eyepiece. Microscope objectives and eyepieces usually consist complex lens systems of two or more lenses to correct for lens aberrations.

CoolLED

Lumencor’s light engines are unique, solid state illuminators, ideally suited for use with fluorescence microscopes and bioanalytical instruments. SPECTRA light engines enhance overall microscope performance and reduce cost. Flexible designs provide as few as two and as many as seven color bands with a variety of delivery optics.

The objective lens forms a real intermediate image which is then greatly magnified by the eyepiece. The objective lens and eyepiece are maintained at a fixed distance and focusing is achieved by moving the whole assembly up and down in relation to the sample. High magnification requires very bright illumination of the sample and a condensor lens is usually placed between the light source and the sample stage to focus light onto the sample.

LumencorSPECTRA III

The SPECTRA is optimized for the most common fluors and fluorescent proteins used in bioanalysis today. Bright outputs cover the visible spectrum and beyond, with particularly impressive performance in the typically underserved visible spectral regions- green, yellow and red. The optically independent outputs are well suited for both live and fixed cell analysis. Bandwidths for any SPECTRA light engine may be tailored for specific spectral needs.

Light microscopy uses electromagnetic radiation in the ultraviolet or visible wavelength range to obtain a magnified image of an object. The resolution of the imaging is limited by the minimum focus of the radiation due to diffraction. For light microscopy the diffraction limit is approximately 1 µm (10-6 m). Imaging objects smaller than 1 µm is possible using electrons instead of light. High-resolution electron microscopy can image features as small as approximately 1 Å (10-10 m). Microscopes

SPECTRA light engines may be used with any major brand microscope, connecting via direct couple, liquid light guide or optical fiber. SPECTRA light engines are pre-aligned, require no maintenance, and need no bulb replacements.
