LED impact in fluorescent imaging

Current technology Vs. LEDs of future

  • Limited spectral selection– filters required
  • Matched for specific dyes, much more efficient
  • Due to lower output– broader filter spectral range
  • Targeted spectral output
  • Less damage to cells or organisms
  • Improved SN ratio

Typical output of a Hg source:
