Lighting Fluorescent

Each fluorescent lighting system consists of three high performance planar bulbs and a triple output inverter encased in an aluminum enclosure. The custom fluorescent bulbs and associated inverter team to produce system performance unachievable with previous designs. In addition to providing improved uniformity, the increased light output of the planar bulbs allows the use of an EMI shielding window while still achieving an overall increase in optical power delivered to the specimens.
