UVILED

High Power UV LED System

The UVILED is a high power fiber coupled LED system covering 365 nm for photolysis, fluorescence excitation, uncaging, etc.. The system can be operated continuously or pulsed with a high peak power. The standard quartz or liquid light guide can be adapted to each microscope of major brands, it can also be used for customized setups suiting to your application. The remote control allows an easy handling of the UVILED while sitting in the front of your microscope. In addition, the built-in mechanical shutter gives you the possibility to control the illumination of your samples easily and precisely by opening and closing the shutter with stable and high LED output power.

Features

Different Light Guide, Different Output Power

The used type of the light guide for the UVILED influences the output power at the light guide exit.

The parameters based on the light guide are:

  • 3 mm light guide:
    • ~ 540 mW (pulse length 10 ms, duty cycle 10%)
    • ~ 200 mW continuous
  • 1250 µm quartz light guide:
    • ~ 100 mW (pulse length 10 ms, duty cycle 10%)
    • ~ 37 mW continuous

UVILED-T

The UVILED is not only a UV-light source used for microscopic applications. It can also be used as well for UV curing. Therefore, we offer the UVILED‑T including the UV-light source, a special handheld to get close to the object and all other features of the standard UVILED. At an output power of more than 70 mW the object can be illuminated with 10 mW/cm² at a distance of 20 mm. Optional, the UVILED-T is available with a refocusing optic. A warm-up is not required.

Applications
  • Photolysis
  • UV illumination
  • Fluorescence excitation
  • Uncaging
  • UV curing
