Low-cost illumination modules for microscopy
Overview
In this presentation, I will discuss several research projects that highlight the importance of precise illumination control in microscopy, particularly in high-speed multicolor imaging applications. I will begin by examining some common light sources and modulation methods used in microscopy. Then, I will present our implementation of a multimode, continuous-wave fiber laser illumination module specifically adapted for bioimaging researchers in Latin America, along with modifications we have made in comparison with similar designs. Additionally, I will highlight our progress in developing a versatile and affordable light control unit that offers manual and automated operation options for high-speed switching and independent current control of LED and fiber laser sources.
