Mounted LEDs ML-6 Microscopy Collimated multi-LEDs Light Source
Mounted LEDs ML-6 is a microscopy collimated multi-LEDs light source which be used to increase the sensitivity/contrast/resolution of the image or for fluorescence applications. The intensity of all its 6 light sources can be controlled simultaneously by the user, until the optimal irradiation parameters are achieved for the interest sample. The source has a fanless design and it can be easily adapted on any microscope (please let us know the microscope model that you have at the ordering time).

The light beam is collimated through a large Ø48.3 mm aperture that can be attached via an adapter (customer will specify the model of the microscope at the ordering time) to the epi-illumination paths of many commercial available industry-standard microscopes. The collimator is an assembly between LB1723-A (N-BK7 bi-convex lens, Ø2", f = 60.0 mm) and ACL25416U-A (aspheric condenser lens, Ø1", f=16 mm, NA=0.79), lenses made by Thorlabs® Inc.
Applications
Optimal Illumination & Contrast
Optimising light illumination by adjusting the intensity of each wavelength individually with the aim of obtaining optimal contrasted images
Resolution Enhancement
Optimising absorbtion in sample illumination for resolution enhancement
Fluorescence
Fluorescence excitation
Safety
The evaluation of eye safety occurs according to the standard IEC 62471:2016 (photo biological safety of lamps and lamp systems). Within the risk grouping system of this IEC standard, the device specified in this datasheet falls into the class moderate risk. Under real circumstances, it is assumed that no endangerment to the eye exists from these devices. As a matter of principle, however, it should be mentioned that intense light sources have a high secondary exposure potential due to their blinding effect. When looking at bright light sources, temporar reduction of in visual acuity and afterimages can occur, leading to irritation, annoyance, visual impairment, and even accidents, depending on the situation.
