RGB LED Light Source for Microscopy with Computer-Controlled Intensity

TOFRA, Inc. has released a model of its RGB LED Light Source for microscopy, which has computer control of intensity. The RGB LED Light Source enables independent control of red (619 nm), green (515 nm), and blue (465 nm) LEDs to create any desired color, including white light, for visual observation. Color images can be produced from monochrome cameras, giving full non-interpolated color at every pixel. Light source head mounts instead of condenser on upright micros. The RGB LED Light Source reduces system cost by eliminating the need for traditional white light source, filter changer and condenser; it increases reliability and reduces cost of ownership by using components with long life and by having no moving or serviceable parts.
