SPECTRA light engine® … Generation III
SPECTRA light engines
MORE POWER ● MORE COLORS ● MORE CONTROL
The next generation of solid-state illumination is here. In Lumencor’s SPECTRA light engine, eight individually addressable solid-state light sources deliver unprecedented performance. Each color band provides on the order of a half a watt of optical power at the end of a liquid light guide. The constituent light sources include LEDs, Lumencor’s proprietary luminescent light pipes and lasers. The outputs of the sources are refined by bandpass filters and merged into a common optical train directed to the light output port on the front panel. The light output port has a built-in adapter for connection to microscopes and other bioanalytical instruments through a standard, 3mm diameter liquid light guide, LLG. TTL trigger inputs are provided for all eight sources for applications requiring fast (10 microsecond) switching.
As with all Lumencor products, OEM customization is available upon request.
