A system and method of providing illumination for a cell imaging system delivering modulated light for illumination of a sample. Modulation of illumination intensity may be effectuated by pulsing the output of a light source, for example, or by selectively interrupting light provided by the source. Such modulated illumination may have particular utility in applications where reducing the number of electrons in a super-excited state may minimize the rate of photobleaching and photodamage in the molecules being studied. |
