Planar waveguide LED illuminator with controlled directionality and divergence.
We present a versatile illumination system where white light emitting diodes are coupled through a planar waveguide to periodically patterned extraction features at the focal plane of a two dimensional lenslet array. Adjusting the position of the lenslet array allows control over both the directionality and divergence of the emitted beam. We describe an analytic design process, and show optimal...
متن کاملUV-LED photopolymerised monoliths.
For the first time photopolymerisation of polymer monoliths has been realised with UV-light emitting diodes (LEDs) as light source and demonstrated with polymethacrylate monoliths created in fused silica capillaries and plastic chips.
متن کاملRatiometric imaging of calcium during ischemia-reperfusion injury in isolated mouse hearts using Fura-2
BACKGROUND We present an easily implementable method for measuring Fura-2 fluorescence from isolated mouse hearts using a commercially available switching light source and CCD camera. After calibration, it provides a good estimate of intracellular [Ca2+] with both high spatial and temporal resolutions, permitting study of changes in dispersion of diastolic [Ca2+], Ca2+ transient dynamics, and c...
متن کاملRatiometric intracellular calcium imaging in the isolated beating rat heart using indo-1 fluorescence.
Abnormalities in intracellular calcium (Ca(i)(2+)) handling have been implicated as the underlying mechanism in a large number of pathologies in the heart. Study into the relation between Ca(i)(2+) behavior and performance of the whole heart function could provide detailed information into the cellular basis of heart function. In this study we describe an optical ratio imaging setup and an anal...
متن کاملMultispectral imaging using LED illumination and an RGB camera
LED illumination based multispectral imaging is getting much attention in recent years due to its fast computer controlled switching ability, availability of many different LEDs, robustness, and cost effectiveness. In this paper, we propose a system which uses an RGB camera along with two or three combinations of three different types of LEDs in order to acquire multispectral images of six or n...
