Enhancing Drosophila research with LED illumination

Written by CoolLED

Light microscopy is an everyday tool for labs using Drosophila as a model organism. Whether applications involve fluorescent screening of larvae, detailed fluorescence microscopy analysis or optogenetics for neuroscience experiments, LED illumination can help. Compared to traditional metal halide and mercury lamps, LED illumination offers improved contrast, lower photodamage and a higher level of all-round control.
