Light-emitting diode
Description
A light emitting diode (LED) is a light source (semiconductor), used in many every-day applications and specifically in fluorometry. LEDs are available for specific spectral ranges across wavelengths in the visible, ultraviolet, and infrared range.
Abbreviation: LED
MitoPedia methods:
Fluorometry,
Spectrophotometry
- 50 years before application in the O2k-Fluorescence LED2-Module: 'The first practical visible-spectrum (red) LED was developed in 1962 by Nick Holonyak Jr. .. Holonyak is seen as the "father of the light-emitting diode".' - Wikipedia link 2012-02-29.
