Dec 15, 2025 by IDEX Health & Science

What every high-performance illumination module should deliver.

Custom illumination goes beyond power and wavelength. Our Melles Griot wide-field illumination modules are designed to power the future of life science, diagnostic, and medical technology. Engineered for next-generation, high-throughput, high-resolution imaging, our custom solutions provide everything you need for reliable, high-performance systems.

Here are the 7 essentials that set them apart:

	High-Power, Reliable Sources Laser diodes and LEDs across the spectrum, built for stable, consistent performance.
	Flexible Delivery Options Choose fiber or free space coupling to fit your instrument design.
	Flat-Top, Speckle-Free Wide-Field Illumination Our proprietary beam shaping technologies and uniform light profiles improve resolution and data quality.
	Beam Shaping for Your System Custom illumination precisely tailored to match your sample and 2D or Line Sensors.
	Advanced Modulation and Thermal Control Built-in modulation and thermal management ensure stable performance and longer system life.
	Compact, Drop-In Footprint Our modules are designed to save space and simplify OEM integration.
	XPLAN™ Compatibility Seamless integration with our Melles Griot® XPLAN™ CCG Lens Series and compatibility with illumination beamshaper modules for wide field applications.

When performance depends on precision illumination, the difference is custom. See how we deliver faster, more reliable life science, diagnostic, and medical technology imaging.
