Hey Guys,

I’m trying to find a blue LED light source for a cheap GFP dissecting microscope. Does anyone know of a cheap illumination system, I basically want a standard light source with gooseneck light guides, but instead of a white halogen light I’d like to have blue light of a wavelength appropriate for GFP. I’ve been playing around with 3W blue LEDs but I don’t have a good way couple the LED to a light guide. Any and all suggestions are welcomed!

Thanks,

Caroline
