http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocalWe looked somewhat into using LEDs as general purpose fluorescence and

wavelengths you need to access with your lamp. A white LED will get
much of the visible spectrum, for instance, but if you are imaging
something with a UV-responsive dye you will need a different LED.
