Thorlabs' collimated LED assemblies can be easily connected to standard and epi-illumination ports on most readily available commercial microscopes, including Olympus, Leica, Nikon, and Zeiss. Each collimated LED consists of a mounted LED and a lamphouse-port-compatible housing that contains an AR-coated aspheric collimation optic (see the Specs tab for details). If the wavelength or output power you require is not sold on this page, our mounted LEDs and Solis™ High-Power LEDs are available in additional wavelengths and output powers.

Note: Please ensure your microscope is configured to directly accept an external light source. Some microscope assemblies have a permanently installed illuminator or may be otherwise incompatible with the LED light sources below.

The collimation of the beam can be adjusted by changing the position of the aspheric lens with respect to the LED. Interchanging LEDs is easy; simply unscrew one LED from the housing and replace it with a different mounted LED (sold separately). We also offer collimation packages, which can be purchased separately from these LEDs.

The approximate total beam power through the collimation adapter is given in the tables below and on the Specs tab. The actual power at the sample plane will be lower due to losses specific to the optical set up of the microscope. If you wish to measure the power at the sample plane for your particular microscope setup, Thorlabs also offers a microscope slide power meter sensor.

Like our mounted LEDs, the package of these collimated LEDs is in direct contact with the heat sink to provide excellent thermal management. This minimizes the degradation of optical output power caused by increased LED temperatures. Please see the Stability tab for information on the stable output intensity of these collimated LEDs. Additionally, our M365LP1, M385LP1, and M405LP1 LEDs feature a higher power output and are mounted to a larger Ø57.0 mm heat sink to increase heat dissipation and thermal stability.

For microscope applications requiring compatibility with SM1 (1.035"-40) threading, our mounted LEDs (sold separately) can be collimated using a Ø1" lens and lens tubes. This collimation method also allows for a smaller beam size than the collimators on this page. Please see the Collimation tab on our Mounted LEDs presentation for a detailed item list and instructions.

Compatible Controllers
Information concerning compatible controllers is provided on the LED Drivers tab. If the LED is driven with a DC2200, DC4100, or DC4104 controller, the integrated EEPROM chip will identify the LED and allow the controller to automatically set the proper current limit to protect the LED from being overdriven. The DC4100 and DC4104 require the DC4100-HUB when used with these LEDs.

  • Specifications for the LEDs without collimating adapters are given in this table. Please see the second table on this tab for specifications pertaining to the LED with the collimating adapter attached.
  • Due to variations in the manufacturing process and operating parameters such as temperature and current, the actual spectral output of any given LED will vary. Output plots and nominal wavelength specs are only intended to be used as a guideline.
  • For LEDs in the visible spectrum, the nominal wavelength indicates the wavelength at which the LED appears brightest to the human eye. For UV and IR LEDs, the nominal wavelength corresponds to the peak wavelength. The nominal wavelength for visible LEDs may not correspond to the peak wavelength as measured by a spectrograph.
  • For the bare LED. See the table below for total beam power with the collimation package.
  • Our 365 nm to 405 nm LEDs radiate intense UV light during operation. Precautions must be taken to prevent looking directly at the UV light and UV light protective glasses must be worn to avoid eye damage. Exposure of the skin and other body parts to the UV light should be avoided.
  • These LEDs have a higher output power (see tables below for total beam power) and are mounted to a Ø57.0 mm heat sink for increased heat dissipation.
  • These LEDs may not turn off completely when modulated at frequencies above 5 kHz, as the white light is produced by optically stimulating emission from phosphor.
  • Correlated color temperature. The wavelength range corresponding to >10% power is approximately 435 - 675 nm.

  • Standard or Epi-Illumination Port Required.
  • These adapters are compatible with any Zeiss microscopes that use the same dovetail as the Zeiss Axioskop and Examiner microscopes.
  • Due to variations in the manufacturing process and operating parameters such as temperature and current, the total beam power, beam diameter, and beam area of any given LED will vary.
  • At the output aperture of the collimation package.

The actual spectral output and total output power of any given LED will vary due to variations in the manufacturing process and operating parameters, such as temperature and current. The typical total beam power of each collimated LED is specified to help you select an LED that suits your needs. In order to provide a point of comparison for the relative powers of LEDs with different nominal wavelengths, the spectra in the plots below have been scaled to the typical total beam power of each collimated LED. This data is representative, not absolute. An Excel file containing the normalized and scaled spectra for each collimation package can be downloaded using the link below each plot.

Stability

LED Lifetime and Long-Term Power Stability

One characteristic of LEDs is that they naturally exhibit power degradation with time. Often this power degradation is slow, but there are also instances where large, rapid drops in power, or even complete LED failure, occur. LED lifetimes are defined as the time it takes a specified percentage of a type of LED to fall below some power level. The parameters for the lifetime measurement can be written using the notation BXX/LYY, where XX is the percentage of that type of LED that will provide less than YY percent of the specified output power after the lifetime has elapsed. Thorlabs defines the lifetime of our LEDs as B50/L50, meaning that 50% of the LEDs with a given Item # will fall below 50% of the initial optical power at the end of the specified lifetime. For example, if a batch of 100 LEDs is rated for 150 mW of output power, 50 of these LEDs can be expected to produce an output power of ≤75 mW after the specified LED lifetime has elapsed.

Optimized Thermal Management

The thermal dissipation performance of these collimated LEDs has been optimized for stable power output. The heat sink is directly mounted to the LED mount so as to provide optimal thermal contact. By doing so, the degradation of optical output power that can be attributed to increased LED junction temperature is minimized (see the graph to the right).

Pin Connection - Male

The diagram to the right shows the male connector of the collimated LED assembly. It is a standard M8 x 1 sensor circular connector. Pins 1 and 2 are the connection to the LED. Pin 3 and 4 are used for the internal EEPROM in these LEDs. If using an LED driver that was not purchased from Thorlabs, be careful that the appropriate connections are made to Pin 1 and Pin 2 and that you do not attempt to drive the LED through the EEPROM pins.

Hello! The LED M455L3 would suite my application, I'm looking for possibilities to collimate it correctly ideally in a small beam with low divergence.. I do not need it for microscopy. A 5 cm diameter beam is quite big but if the collimation is good I could resize it with further optics, so the first question is "which is the divergence of the beam after collimation in the product M455L3-C1"? Second question, are there other possibilities to collimate the M455L3 LED in for example a < 1.5 cm beam with divergence < 5°? How much power loss should it cause?? Thanks in advance!!!
jvigroux  (posted 2014-04-10 10:10:14.0)
A response from Julien at Thorlabs: Thank you for your inquiry! The divergence of the M455L3-C1is typically of about 3° and in best case slightly less than 2°, so that in principle it would be possible to resize the beam after the 2" output. By using another collimating lens than the standard 2" diameter 40mm focal length, one can further reduce the output collimated beam. I will contact you directly to discuss the requirements in termsof powe and divergence in order to see which option would work best in your case.

This is a response from Thomas at Thorlabs. Thank you very much for your inquiry. To mount our collimated LED light sources you can use a lens tube slip ring SM1RC: https://www.thorlabs.de/newgrouppage9.cfm?objectgroup_id=1533&pn=SM1RC#2714.

The beam diameters produced by these larger focal length lenses would overfill an SM1 thread. If you are looking to confine it to this size an alternative would be to use the mounted LED without the collimating optic, (this is the M***L2 series and can be purchased separately) and then use a 1” diameter lens with an adjustable length lens tube for alignment. We have a typical setup to this end on our “Application” tab on the M***L2 series page.

A response form Julien at Thorlabs: Thank you for your inquiry! As far as I know, DIC usually uses polarized light sources. If this is the cas ein your setup, the LEd would not work because of the light being unpolarized. The use of an extra polarizer after the LED would imply a strong power reduction as well as a relatively high instability of the output power. I will contact you directly to discuss the details of your setup in order to see which light source could be used.

Hi, We are interested in buying an LED to replace the lamp of DIC to use it in multicolor imaging. Wavelength range we are looking for is between 670 and 750nm. Can you suggest if 260mW of 735nm LED is good enough for DIC imaging? Has anyone used it for DIC? Babu

A response from Julien at Thorlabs: Thank you for your feedback! the suggested adapters are by no mean the only solution and based on the details of your setup, some other configuration might indeed improve the power density or the homogeneity. I will contact you directly to discuss the details and see which solution would be the most adapted.

A collimated beam with 50mm diameter will be clipped by the back aperture of the objective in an IX microscope (~10mm), loosing most of the available power of the LED. Am I wrong? Why not proposing an alternative lens that lets all the light entering the objective? I really need all the power... Ideally, if the lens to LED distance is settable, then one could choose between power density and uniformity of illumination.

Response from Buki at Thorlabs: Thank you for your interest in our MCWHL2-C1 and for taking the time to use our feedback tool! These mounts are designed to fit on the standard and epi-illumination ports for Olympus BX and IX microscopes. The exact compatibility will depend on whether the transmitted lamp housing on your desired Olympus microscope has the same port-style as the BX and IX. Please contact TechSupport@thorlabs.com if you have further inquiries.

Can anyone verify that the Olympus mounts will fit in place of the transmitted lamp housing too (i.e. the same mount will work for transmitted as for fluorescence)? We have not gotten our scope yet so cant measure ourselves. Thanks.

A response from Ken at Thorlabs: Our new DC2100 is also plug and play compatible with these LED light sources.

Is the LEDD1 driver the only driver you offer that is plug and play compatible.
