There is a whole range of newly emerging techniques that have traditionally employed laser light to illuminate a sample, but are now turning to LEDs. An example is structured illumination microscopy (SIM), a wide-field technique that can improve the lateral resolution beyond the diffraction limit by a factor of two.
This is achieved by projecting a series of patterns sequentially onto a sample and capturing images, followed by post-processing. Fast LED color switching and DMD (deformable mirror devices) for generating the pattern means high speeds can be achieved compared to the traditional mechanical method of structured pattern generation.
