Abstract
We demonstrate a microLED light source for optical sectioning structured illumination microscopy (OS-SIM). A bottom-emitting design is employed to improve the uniformity and intensity of emission by removing the anode contact from the optical path. This design facilitates the addition of a potential equalizing and light-reflecting layer to the top surface of the light source. The irradiance, uniformity of light emission, and contrast ratio of the light source are characterized. A system demonstration is performed with the light source integrated into a fluorescence microscope and used for OS-SIM imaging.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the Society for Information Display publishes original works dealing with the theory and practice of information display. Coverage includes materials, devices and systems; the underlying chemistry, physics, physiology and psychology; measurement techniques, manufacturing technologies; and all aspects of the interaction between equipment and its users. Review articles are also published in all of these areas. Occasional special issues or sections consist of collections of papers on specific topical areas or collections of full length papers based in part on oral or poster presentations given at SID sponsored conferences.
