High-speed multiple wavelength illumination source, apparatus containing the same, and applications thereof to methods of irradiating luminescent samples and of quantitative luminescence ratio microscopy

摘要: A high-speed, non-mechanical multiple wavelength illumination source is provided, which contains a first light source, second providing different of light, and controlling means for electric current to the sources. The particularly useful in an improved apparatus quantitative luminescence ratio photometry and/or imaging. Methods emission imaging using are also provided. present invention offers particular advantages photomicroscopy microscopic
