Power of an arc lamp - stability, control & ruggedness of a solid state light engine

Beaverton OR, USA — Lumencor, Inc.has announced the launch of the SPECTRA light engine® provides seven discrete solid state outputs spanning the complete visible spectrum.

This make it a true arc lamp replacement.

The SPECTRA light engine® complements the family of multicolor light engine products by Lumencor for microscopists, researchers and OEMs.

“We want bioanalytical instrument manufacturers and researchers alike to know Lumencor offers the full range of state of the art solutions in high tech lighting tools,” stated Steven Jaffe, Ph.D., President and CEO.

He continued, “Our light engines are supporting high content screening, live cell imaging, digital histology, gene expression analysis and a plethora of other challenging applications in labs and instrumentation worldwide. Lumencor’s light engines outperform in power, speed, facile switching and stability the best of the arc lamps available commercially today. We want our users to have the spectral, spatial and temporal control of the lighting subsystem that will enable even the most challenging quantitative analysis.”

New light engine options. SPECTRA light engines® were recently featured in San Francisco, CA in product demonstrations in both BiOS and Photonics West divisions of SPIE 2010.

In addition to offering a multitude of outputs, covering the full visible spectrum from 380 nm to 680 nm, this new light engine features increased power per band for each channel over the existing light engine model outputs.

The product has an updated streamlined design, full electronic control of intensity and switching speed in the 10s of microsecond time frame, and a dosimeter option.

Adapters for all major makes and models of microscopes are readily available and custom adapters are available upon request.

Custom optical design services to aid OEMs in making the most of these lighting subsystems are offered as well.
