  • Page 11: Introduction

    The Lambda HPX is a liquid-cooled, high-output, LED light source (illuminator). Designed around a single 90W 4.25mm LED die, the Lambda HPX provides light output comparable to a 200W xenon arc lamp. The system includes a quiet, vibration-free, liquid cooling head (pre- filled at the factory) that allows for the low-junction temperatures required to reach the LED LAMBDA HPX HIGH-POWER LED LIGHT SOURCE SYSTEM OPERATION MANUAL –...

    Sutter Instrument’s custom microscope adapters. Because LEDs exhibit color shift with electrical current change, the Lambda HPX has the ability to dim the LED using either PWM (pulse width modulation) or current control. The PWM method of dimming is generally preferred for most applications, and allows the LED to run cooler.
