White lasers and confocal microscopy

[Stéphane Pagès]

Hello everybody,
We are planning to acquire a new confocal microscope. Concerning, the illumination, I heard about white lasers that contains wavelength from 390 nm to 2000 nm with a power around 2 mW per nm.
Did some of you have experience with such devices ? What about the integration of such lasers in a tradition confocal microscope ?
Thanks a lot ...

Leica sells the white light laser based confocal/spectral. The power is right but the wavelength is 470-670 nm.

Hope this helps

This is the first unique opportunity, after the Gail McConnell works, related to the possibility of having absorption and emission spectra as signature...

Zeiss has a white laser for the LSM 710 as well, called "In Tune":
