Thorlabs' DC3100-405 Modulated LED Source is designed for frequency domain Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM) and other microscopy applications that require advanced modulated high brightness LED sources. This compact LED source is comprised of a high current and high power driver and a LED head with modulating electronics which is designed for high brightness LEDs with high thermal dissipation losses. The LED is included in the head. The DC3100-405 is designed to operate at a nominal wavelength of 405 nm. The head mount on these LED sources is also compatible with our SM2 (2.035""-40) Lens Tubes.
This LED driver can be remotely operated using the USB 2.0 connector and the included software package with an intuitive GUI and an extensive driver set. The GUI software, µManager, is a versatile, open source, software platform for automated microscopy. A plugin allows the user to control the LED driver right out of the box.
