1 General Information
The LED4Dxxx light source efficiently combines the output of four LEDs with different center-
wavelength into a single collimated beam. The LED4Dxxx is user configurable and available for
a large variety of
wavelength combinations . This makes the LED4Dxxx applicable for wide field
fluorescence microscopy when combined with suitable excitation and emission filters. There
are 224 models with preselected wavelengths available. Please visit the
LED4Dxxx website to
configure your LED-combination.
The LED current can be adjusted to quickly set the intensity via a connected DC4100 or
DC4104 4-Channel LED Driver (sold separately). For this, the LED4Dxxx module has a flying
lead terminated in a 14 pin M16 plug compatible with the Thorlabs DC4100 or DC4104 Four
Channel LED drivers. The user can control the source either on the front panel of the Four-
Channel LED driver, or with an external trigger connection through the USB-connection. This
makes the LED4Dxxx a versatile light source with LED switching and accurate intensity modula-
tion of each individual LED.
The microscope adapters for Leica, Nikon, Olympus and Zeiss microscopes make the
LED4Dxxx an ideal choice for microscopy applications where multiple wavelengths are re-
quired. Additionally, an adapter can be mounted to couple the exiting light into a Liquid Light
Guide.
The source is vibration free, easy to operate, and has a long lifetime.
1.1 Safety
Attention
The safety of any system incorporating the equipment is the responsibility of the assembler of
the system.
All statements regarding safety of operation and technical data in this instruction manual will
only apply when the unit is operated correctly as it was designed for.
The Four Wavelength High Power LED Source LED4Dxxx series must not be operated in ex-
plosion endangered environments!
Do not obstruct the air ventilation slots in the housing!
Caution
During normal operation, the case temperature of Thorlabs Four Wavelength High Power LED
Source LED4Dxxx will rise by up to 25°C (45°F) above ambient temperature.
Take care for an unabstracted heat dissipation. Do not cover the enclosure and provide a free
air ventilation to the radiator.
Do not remove covers!
Do not open the cabinet. There are no parts serviceable by the operator inside!
This precision device is only serviceable if properly packed into the complete original packaging
including the plastic foam sleeves. If necessary, ask for replacement packaging.
Refer servicing to qualified personnel!
Only with written consent from Thorlabs may changes to single components be made or com-
ponents not supplied by Thorlabs be used.
The Four Wavelength High Power LED Source LED4Dxxx series must only be connected with
duly shielded connection cables.
