ELECTRONIC DEVICE OF CONTROLLED ILLUMINATION FOR STUDYING PHOTOSYNTHETIC MICROORGANISMS AND/OR PHOTOSENSITIVE OR PHOTO RESPONSIVE MATERIALS.

摘要

The present invention consists in an electronic device of controlled illumination for studying photosynthetic organisms and/or photosensitive or photo responsive materials. The device consists of a plate for supporting a plurality of LEDs. In the recommended version, the device uses a series of 96 LEDs having the same or a different wavelength, which are mounted over the plate, each LED illuminating, in an independent form, a culture well (having a transparent bottom), so that each LED is isolated for maintaining each experiment in each individual well. Optionally, the device may be controlled by an electronic system for allowing illumination protocols to be controlled where the intensity and the illumination and darkness periods may be controlled. Optionally, the device may have a system for tracking and controlling the temperature by ventilation in order to avoid warming of the samples of the cells caused by the energy dissipated by the LEDs.
