BEAVERTON, Ore., July 30, 2018 — The SOLA SE UV-nIR and SOLA SE V-nIR light engines from Lumencor Inc. produce powerful outputs based on an array of solid-state light sources.
The sources turn on and off in unison, producing white light that replicates the spectral output traditionally obtained from mercury lamps. The UV output centers on 365 nm and the violet centers on 395 nm. They each efficiently excite nuclear dyes like DAPI and Hoechst. At the other end of the spectrum, a NIR source at about 735 nm now excites Cy7 and ICG. Practically useful levels of NIR output have never been obtainable from mercury lamps. Moreover, the 500- to 600-nm output of the SOLA light engine, obtained from the application of proprietary light pipe technology, excites fluors in the visible spectral region, such as mCherry, TRITC, and Texas Red.
Lumencor’s light pipe technology overcomes the inherent green gap, the notorious optical power deficit of traditional LED light sources.
