Collection: 530nm

Light at 530nm falls within the turquoise/green spectrum and has several applications across various fields:

• LED Lighting and Displays: Similar to 525nm, this wavelength is close to the peak sensitivity of the human eye and can be used in LEDs for creating bright green or turquoise colored light. These LEDs find use in some general lighting applications, stage lighting, and backlighting for displays where a more specific cool-toned green is desired.

• Biotechnology and Research:

  • Fluorescence Microscopy: Like 525nm, 530nm light can be a useful excitation source in fluorescence microscopy. Certain fluorescent proteins or dyes used in biological research are excited by this wavelength,allowing scientists to visualize specific structures or processes within cells.

• Plant Science (Potential): While not the most critical range for plant growth, 530nm light can contribute to some photosynthetic processes. Some horticultural lighting systems may incorporate LEDs with this wavelength to provide a more complete light spectrum for plants.

• Optogenetics (Emerging): There's ongoing research exploring the use of slightly longer wavelengths (around 530nm) for optogenetics. Here, genetically modified organisms might have light-sensitive proteins that respond to this specific green light, allowing researchers to control cellular activity with more precise targeting compared to shorter wavelengths.
