Solid-state, white-light illumination is furthering the capabilities and lifetimes of analytical instruments. Life and material sciences alike benefit from performance enhancements conferred to equipment formerly relegated to reliance on antiquated, mercury-containing lamps. In this webinar, Erich Zeiss and Iain Johnson, Ph.D., of Lumencor will present recent upgrades to solid-state lighting and how they apply to specific applications for biomedical and manufacturing professionals. They will also cover refreshed features of the SOLA light engine from Lumencor for 2021 and beyond.
Today's solid-state lighting provides turnkey illumination from a long-lasting, cool, quiet, compact box. Such solid-state lamps are now engineered to provide precise spectral, spatial, and temporal control of the lighting that drives quantitative instrumentation – for high-resolution imaging and measurement – enabling unprecedented reliability and reproducibility. In this webinar, the presenters will discuss lighting for fluorescence microscopy, high-content screening, diagnostic tests, endoscopy, robotic surgery, test and measurement equipment, and more, explaining how it can now be generated from entirely solid-state light sources. Superior power, stability, and consistency are hallmarks of such solid-state solutions, compared to traditional lamps.
The presenters will also discuss a refreshed family of SOLA light engines from Lumencor. SOLAs are tailor-made from a host of solid-state technologies that best match the spectra and power of any mercury lamp. The average lifetime of a SOLA is more than 10 years, while maintaining brightness and stability. Uniquely high-performing with respect to active power stabilization, linearized intensity control, and microsecond on/off times, SOLA is a proven leader in the field of technical lighting. With no maintenance and no replacement parts, it’s worth asking: Why would anyone use an old mercury-containing arc lamp, when clean, solid-state lighting yields better results at more cost-effective prices?
