4 Introduction and Intended Use

The LDI is a multi-wavelength laser-diode light source intended for use in fluorescence imaging
applications. The LDI is a standalone unit, designed to operate on a desk or bench and connect to a
microscopy instrument or other imaging equipment via optical fibers.
The LDI-6 has six discrete wavelength channels (RGGBBV) while the LDI-7 has seven (RGGBBV + 555nm).
The LDI-6 has one output aperture for all channels and the LDI-7 has two output apertures: one for
RGGBBV channels and another for the 555nm channel. 89 North supplies an optional 400 m bifurcated
fiber to combine the two LDI outputs into one fiber.
Because of its intense brightness, the LDI includes several safety interlocks that, when tripped, will block
the laser emission produced by the system. Do not override these interlocks. Doing so may result in injury
to the user and/or the unit and will immediately void the warranty.
