The LDI-5 is a multiline, solid-state laser illuminator offering 5 laser lines from the VIS-NIR with powers up to 1W. The unit offers feedback controlled output stability and up to a 100:1 linear dynamic range. LDI-5 has the power where you need and the available variations let you get exactly what you want.
LDI-5 Laser Diode Illuminator
The LDI-5 is the big sister of the LDI-4 laser diode illuminator. Once again we listened to our users who asked for a paired down version of the LDI-NIR. The LDI-5 has increased power over her little sister and expands into the near infra-red with the addition of a 730nm line. This unit is also available with a 488nm laser for FITC/GFP and with a 577nm laser for TRITC/mCherry…or both!
