My thesis project involves modification of a fluorescence microscope
for a specialized type of measurement, and as such I'm usually
ordering optical prototyping equipment from Thorlabs. I noticed
recently they've introduced full LED microscope illumination
attachments which can fit to the back epi-illumination port of
microscopes made by all of the major microscope manufacturers. I've
never had the chance to try them, so I can't comment on how well they
light up a sample. They might be worth checking out though.
Here's the link:
