当社のコリメータ付きLED照明は、Olympus、Leica、Nikon、Zeissなど市販されているほとんどの顕微鏡の標準的な落射照射用ポートに取り付けることができます。 各コリメータ付きLED照明は、マウント済み高出力LEDと、ARコーティング付き非球面コリメートレンズ内蔵で、ランプハウスポートに取り付け可能な筐体で構成されています(詳細は、「仕様」タブをご覧ください)。当社のマウント付きLEDや高出力LED Solis®のラインナップは、こちらのページにはない波長や光出力のご用意もございます。
注： 事前にお手持ちの顕微鏡が外部照明を直接接続できる構成であることをご確認ください。顕微鏡によっては、照明を取り外すことができず下記のLED照明をお使いいただけない場合がございます。
ビームのコリメートは、LEDに対する非球面レンズの位置を変更することで調整することができます。 LEDの交換は簡単です。筐体に取付けられているLEDのネジをゆるめ、新しいマウント付きLED(別売り)と交換してください。また、当社ではこちらのLED製品とは別にお買い求めになれるコリメートアダプタもご用意しております。
コリメート用アダプタを通ったビームの合計出力値は下表ならびに「仕様」のタブでご覧いただけます。 なお試料面における実際の出力値は、顕微鏡の光学セットアップ特有の損失によって低くなります。 お客様がセットアップされた顕微鏡の試料面での出力値を測定いただけるよう、顕微鏡用スライドパワーメータをご用意しております。
このコリメートLEDのパッケージは、当社のマウント済み高出力LEDと同様、ヒートシンクに直接接しているため、優れた温度管理機能を有します。 これにより、LEDの温度の上昇による光出力の低下を最小限に抑えることができます。 コリメートLEDの安定した出力強度については「安定性」タブをご覧ください。また、M365LP1、M385LP1、M405LP1は出力が高く、放熱と熱安定性を高めるために大型(Ø57.0 mm)のプラスチック製ヒートシンクに取り付けられています。
お使いの用途において、顕微鏡への対応よりもSM1ネジへの対応が望ましい場合、当社のマウント付きLED(別売り)はØ25.4 mm(Ø1インチ)のレンズおよびレンズチューブを用いてコリメートすることが可能です。このコリメート法では、このページでご紹介しているコリメータをお使いいただく場合よりも小さなビーム径が得られます。製品リストの詳細や説明は、マウント済みLEDのページの「コリメート」タブをご覧ください。
ドライバ
当社では、こちらのLEDに対応するドライバとしてLEDD1B、UPLED、DC40、DC2200、DC4100、DC4104の6種類をご用意しています(DC4100とDC4104にはDC4100-HUBが必要です)。ドライバUPLED、DC40、DC2200、DC4100、DC4104は接続されたLEDのEEPROMから電流のリミット値を読み取り、最大電流値を自動的に設定してLEDを保護することができます。それぞれのドライバの仕様や比較については「LEDドライバ」タブをご覧ください。

LEDの寿命および長期的なパワー安定性
LEDの特性の1つとして、時間の経過と共にパワーが自然に低下することがあげられます。ほとんどの場合、パワーは緩やかに低下しますが、急速な低下や完全な停止、あるいは故障が突然起こることもあります。 LEDの寿命は、LEDの種類ごとに規定されたある割合のLEDが、あるパワーレベル以下に低下するまでの時間で定義されます。寿命測定のパラメータはBXX/LYYで表され、ここでXXはその種類のLEDで寿命が過ぎた後の出力パワーが規定値のYY%以下になるLEDの割合を示します。当社では、LEDの寿命をB50/L50で表しますが、これはその型番のLEDのうち50%のLEDの光パワーが規定の寿命がきた時に初期値の50%以下に低下するという意味です。例えば、定格出力パワー150 mWのLED100個のうち、50個の出力パワーが規定の寿命を過ぎたときに75 mW以下に低下するということです。
最適化された温度管理
このコリメート済みLEDの放熱特性は最適化されています。LEDパッケージのヒートシンクはLEDマウントのヒートシンクと直接熱的接触をしているので、放熱は適切な状態になっています。これにより、LED接合部の温度上昇に起因する光出力パワーの低下が最小限に抑えられます(右のグラフをご参照ください)。

右の図は、コリメートしたLEDアセンブリのオス型コネクタを示しています。 これは、標準的なM8x1センサ円形コネクタです。 ピン1と2はLED接続用です。 ピン3と4はLEDに内蔵するEEPROMに使用されます。 当社以外のLEDドライバをご使用の場合、ピン1と2の接続は適切に行ってください。またEEPROMピンからLED駆動しないようご注意ください。
駆動するLEDから最大の光パワーを出力させるには、LEDの最大電圧および最大電流と同等あるいはそれ以上の電圧と電流を出力できるドライバが必要です。

(posted 2022-11-01 08:57:41.63) Hello. My name is YeonJae Yoo, who works for LG Chem in Korea. I am writing this email because I have an inquiry regarding the purchase of a 365nm wavelength LED. If I buy this product, will the 365nm LED collimated beam come out without any other accessories? I want to know if I need to purchase another driver. Please reply by e-mail. hchow
(posted 2022-11-02 05:38:44.0) Hi Ms. Yoo, thank you for your enquiry. I will personally reach out to you to provide more information. user
(posted 2021-03-23 20:31:18.53) Dear sir,
I am looking for collimated LED light sources which are internally or externally SM2 threaded (like Solice LEDs). This would be very universal and convenient for integrating them with other thorlabs optics. They can be surely compatible with microscopes using, for example, SM2A13. I have a Solice LED for this purpose but need lighter one such as MCWHL6-C1. Alternatively, it would be great for you to provide adapters to fit MCWHL6-C1 to SM2 threaded parts. Thanks. MKiess
(posted 2021-03-25 11:13:07.0) Thank you very much for this feedback.
You can use a MCWHL6 LED in combination with a SM2F32-A, adjustable collimation adapter for Ø2" (Ø50 mm) Optics for this purpose. The MCWHL6 is the same LED that is also used for the MCWHL6-C1. You can screw the SM2F32-A collimator directly to this LED. The collimator has an internal SM2 thread for further integration. Patrick Lee
(posted 2021-03-09 11:23:47.873) Hi, I am interested in MCWHL6-C1.
I plan to use it as a collimated light source to shine on a test object, in order to cast a shadow on a diffuser glass.
A camera is placed at back of diffuser to pick up the shadow.
a) what is divergence output ?
b) will shadow be sharp ?
c) any recommendation for power supplier ?
Thank you. MKiess
(posted 2021-03-11 08:59:36.0) Dear Patrick,
Thank you for your inquiry.
A suitable LED driver for the MCWHL6-C1, is the LEDD1B or the DC2200. The divergence and sharpness of the shadow depends on your overall optical system of diffuser and lenses used, as well as the camera parameters. I have contacted you directly to discuss the details. user
(posted 2021-02-13 00:38:28.523) Hi, I am interested in using the MCWHL6-C5 to replace a 12V100W halogen lamphouse on my Nikon microscope. Roughly speaking, would the total output (477 mW) be comparable to the total output of the halogen bulb? MKiess
(posted 2021-02-15 11:03:51.0) Thank you very much for your inquiry. It depends on what the exact output power of the halogen lamp is. I assume that it will be a little higher than that of this LED. Cold white, LEDs with higher output power, which can also be connected to the Nikon microscope with corresponding collimators or adapters (As can be found, for example, under the following link.: https://www.thorlabs.de/newgrouppage9.cfm?objectgroup_id=8706) would be the SOLIS-1C and the MCWHLP1.
I have contacted you directly to discuss the exact requirement together. Hajun Song
(posted 2020-11-09 01:50:49.14) I want to use this model as a flash lamp for the high speed camera. What is the eletrical bandwidth of the laser? Is it possble to modulate the LD as a short pulse modulation? How narrow? wskopalik
(posted 2020-11-09 10:39:33.0) Dear Hajun,
Thank you very much for your feedback.
Unfortunately we do not have any data about the rise time of the M780L3-C1. Usually the bandwidth of LEDs is limited by the driver electronics rather than by the LED itself. So the specifications of the driver would need to be considered in most cases.
A good assumption for the rise time of an LED without phosphor like the M780L3-C1 is the range of at least 100 ns. This corresponds to an 3dB bandwidth of 3.5 MHz. Phosphor-converted LEDs (e.g. for white light) can however be considerably slower than that.
I will contact you directly so we can talk about your requirements in more detail. yefan8900

The collimated LED light sources for Olympus BX and IX microscopes can be directly attached to the epi-illumination port of these microscopes. For the transmission-illumination port we might be able to offer a suitable collimator as a special.

(posted 2014-03-20 10:48:54.817) 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. mwinkler.its-b2011

Sadly I am not sure which mount I should best use where I can put the device in and connect it to the bar with screws.
Can you recommend me a device from your catalogue which is best suited for that?
Thanks in advance tschalk
(posted 2013-10-04 08:15:00.0) 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.

(posted 2013-03-14 13:37:00.0) Response from Tim at Thorlabs: The back end of these have 1.2” diameters and can be used with an SM1RC slip ring. 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. jvigroux

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. nrbabuwp

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?

I will contact you directly to discuss the details and see which solution would be the most adapted. g.raffy
(posted 2012-01-23 09:12:12.0) 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. bdada

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. mzlin
(posted 2011-09-02 12:01:15.0) 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. klee
