ScopeLED Light Sources
BioVision Technologies offers the following microscope illumination products from ScopeLED:
B-Series Brightfield Microscope Illuminators
ScopeLED’s B-Series microscopy illuminators replace conventional halogen light sources used for a variety of transmitted and reflected light applications, such as bright-field, dark-field, phase contrast, polarized light and DIC.
The heart of the B‐Series illuminators is DiCon’s high performance Dense Matrix LED™ Array. Using advanced thermal design, it offers vibration‐free fan‐less cooling with a high intensity optically stable light output.
Standard models come with the buyer’s choice of two LED arrays: a fixed-phosphor white 5600‐degrees‐Kelvin array, and an RGB array. The RGB model allows any quantitative black and white camera to function as a high speed monochrome or color imaging system by utilizing separate controls for Red, Green and Blue light. Adjusting the intensity of each color with respective analog voltage and switching between each color with respective TTL triggers eliminates the need for a color camera.
The non‐phosphor RGB version is inert to laser excitation allowing it to be used as a self shuttering light source within any confocal or widefield fluorescence microscopy system.
This high‐powered LED is easily able to illuminate multi‐headed microscope configurations of over 10 viewing stations using objectives from 1X all the way up to and including 100X oil immersion. With over 30,000 hours of LED lifetime and low power consumption, the ScopeLED B‐Series illuminators are the smart, reliable and economic alternative to halogen bright‐field illuminators.

F-Series Fluorescence Microscope Illuminators
ScopeLED’s F-Series LED based Fluorescence Microscope Illuminators are designed to replace conventional metal halide and mercury arc lamp sources for fluorescence microscopy applications.
The F‐Series design offers the most compact illumination source in the industry, directly coupled to the microscope’s epi‐fluorescence illumination port. ScopeLED offers wavelengths from 390nm to 740nm in single‐, dual‐, or quadruple‐wavelength models.
The heart of a F-Series illuminator is ScopeLED’s high‐performance LED light engine with an advanced thermal design, yielding very high intensity and optically stable light output.
With over 30,000 hours of LED lifetime and low power consumption, ScopeLED is the bright, affordable, efficient, and environmentally friendly solution for wide-field fluorescence applications.
