Cellular and molecular level knowledge is central to modern educational courses in the biological sciences. Light microscopy and other optical techniques are the source of much of this knowledge, and practical experience in using them is therefore an essential feature of any well-rounded curriculum. For use in a teaching laboratory environment, consistent microscope performance from one workstation to another, ease of use and low maintenance costs are essential requisites. Lumencor’s solid-state illumination sources, built with LEDs, light pipes and lasers, are ideally suited in all respects.
