Hi Dirk,

We have equipped 2 wide-field systems (a Zeiss Axiovert200M and an
Olympus IX70) running with Metamorph and 2 LSM510 (just for quick
visualization of the samples) with CoolLED PrecisExcite lights. They
just work great.

Best,

Laurent.

Hi,

I was wondering if anybody has some experience with using LEDs as  
excitation sources for fluorescence microscopy and could recommend me  
some companies and/or specific models.

We are interested in equipping a Nikon Ti with LEDs instead of the  
conventional mercury lamp (e.g. Nikon's Intensilight). The main  
application of the microscope would be quantitative high-throughput  
time-lapse microscopy.

Thanks a lot. Dirk
