The
Lambda LS is a stand-alone lighting system consisting
of a xenon-arc lamp, lamp housing, cold mirror and
power supply in a single enclosure.
The Lambda LS is designed to be used with a
liquid light guide which transmits remarkably flat,
in-tense, illumination to the optical train of the
user’s microscope or other instrumentation.
The lamp’s cabinet accommodates a standard
Sutter Instrument filter wheel that slides easily in
and out of a slot in the light path.
If desired, a second filter wheel can be
mounted on the outside of the cabinet. When used with appropriate adapters, the light guide output
is compatible with most common microscope systems.
LAMBDA LSSTAND-ALONE XENON ARC LAMPAND POWER SUPPLY
Unlike the arc lamps used with most fluorescence
microscopes, the 175W xenon bulb is pre-aligned using
a parabolic mirror and does not require alignment,
focussing or collimation. In the standard
configuration, the Lambda LS bulb is capable of
producing light output from 340nm to a cut-off of
700nm determined by the cold mirror. An optional
enhanced UV bulb produces output much lower into the
UV (cut off near 200nm). As with any UV generating
light source, the optional bulb generates significant
quantities of ozone and must be used in an adequately
ventilated environment.
The
Lambda LS utilizes a compact design, which places
power supply, lamp house, arc lamp and cold mirror in
