PerkinElmer has released its new Environmentally Friendly LED Fiber Optic Illuminator Module, which is designed for ease of integration by medical OEMs in endoscopy, surgical microscopy and headlamp applications.

In comparison to conventional high-intensity-discharge lamps, this new Illuminator Module is based on LED technology with a usable life that is up to 50 times longer. Furthermore, it produces no ultraviolet or infrared emissions.

Aside from patent-pending LED technology, the LED Illuminator Module incorporates precision optics, an integrated state-of-the-art thermal management system, and electromagnetic interference shielding.

It has both metric and imperial mechanical mounting fasteners and special flange-mounted optical alignment features for easier integration with an OEM's own fiber coupling and is also RoHS-compliant.

As a result, the LED Module offers many advantages for the surgical environment such as bright, highly uniform illumination, allowing surgeons to see images more clearly in the operating room, leading potentially to better, earlier detection and diagnoses.
