Optimize Microscopy Results with Better Solid-State Light Engines

Uneven illumination in microscopy can distort images and obscure crucial data—jeopardizing research accuracy and innovation. Choosing the right solid-state light source is key to achieving uniform, high-quality illumination that enhances spatial resolution and imaging precision.

This White Paper, in partnership with Lumencor, explains how the spatial light output of lasers and LEDs affects microscopy performance—and how understanding these characteristics can unlock better imaging outcomes.

Inside, you’ll learn:

• Why illumination uniformity matters—and how non-uniform light biases microscopy data

• The differences between LED and laser light engines in spectral quality, output efficiency, and spatial distribution

• The role of étendue in optimizing light delivery for varied microscopy techniques

• Practical insights into boosting image resolution and consistency across applications—from widefield to super-resolution
