Abstract
The described invention provides improvements in illumination sources for applications such as machine vision, photometry, medical imaging and microscopy. Described is the use of LED based light sources performing a dual role as narrow band light sensors. The described invention also provides a method of producing low power, “white light” illumination sources comprised of light emitting diodes and also laser diodes. The “white light” sources have improvements in illumination sources for applications such as machine vision, photometry, medical imaging and microscopy.
