We describe the simple adaptation of a standard fluorescent microscope for illumination using a 'Royal Blue' Luxeon light emitting diode (LED) and demonstrate that this form of illumination is suitable for the detection of auramine O stained Mycobacterium spp. The low cost, low power consumption, safety and reliability of LEDs makes them attractive alternatives to mercury vapour lamps.
我们描述了如何使用“皇家蓝”路创（Luxeon）发光二极管（LED）对标准荧光显微镜进行简单改装以用于照明，并证明这种照明形式适用于检测金胺O染色的分枝杆菌属。LED的低成本、低功耗、安全性和可靠性使其成为汞蒸气灯颇具吸引力的替代品。
