455nm - royal blue
470nm - blue
505nm - cyan
530nm - green
590nm - amber
617nm - red/orange
627nm - red
Our cameras and acquisition/processing software have the ability to
modulate the wavelengths.
Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions.

http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocalHi Glen,
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:
