DazzLED
DazzLED
DazzLED is a high-power LED illumination system designed for applications requiring broad, intense illumination. Whether coupling light into multiple optical fibers or uniformly illuminating large tissue regions (e.g., an entire cortical area), DazzLED provides the power needed for high-throughput optogenetics, uncaging, and other photostimulation experiments.

DazzLED is a high-power LED illumination system designed for applications requiring broad, intense illumination. Whether coupling light into multiple optical fibers or uniformly illuminating large tissue regions (e.g., an entire cortical area), DazzLED provides the power needed for optogenetics, uncaging, and other photostimulation experiments.
For multi-animal or multi-site optogenetics experiments, DazzLED can be combined with the DazzLED Fiber Converter and Bundle Branching Fiber Optic Patch Cords to deliver high-power stimulation across many fibers simultaneously. This configuration enables scalable, high-throughput photostimulation of up to 20 fibers with 400 µm diameter cores or up to 100 fibers with 200 µm diameter cores, making it well suited for parallel optogenetic experiments, multi-region stimulation, and large cohort studies.
DazzLED can be seamlessly integrated into most fluorescence microscopes through the illumination path, enabling simultaneous wide-field imaging and high-power optogenetics. Its broad, uniform illumination is ideal for activating large neuronal populations or extended regions of tissue. Beyond optogenetics, DazzLED provides a versatile excitation source for applications including photouncaging, photoconversion, photoswitching, and activation of other light-responsive molecules across large fields of view.
NOTE:
- A Connectorized LED does not include the corresponding DazzLED Driver.
- Each DazzLED is delivered wit an empty Filter Set. This holder accomodates filters of 25 mm diameter. For any special requests, please contact our sales team.
