POINT SOURCE APPARATUS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE THEREOF

摘要

A point electromagnetic radiation source apparatus (200) for fluorescence microscopy comprises an array of individually unpackaged light emitting diodes. A lightguide (102) is coupled to the array of individually unpackaged light emitting diodes (202) by abutment, the lightguide having a coupling window (210) that receives electromagnetic radiation emitted by the array of individually unpackaged 10 light emitting diodes (202).
