ABSTRACT:
This invention provides an illuminator adapted to be coupled to a microscope to provide radiation in the ultraviolet region which comprises: (a) a housing having an internal passage way, in optical communication with two windows defined by said housing, said housing being adapted to couple to a microscope body with said windows aligned with the optical axis of the microscope, (b) a mirror located within and extending substantially completely across said internal passageway and adapted to reflect ultraviolet radiation at a first wavelength and transmit radiation at a longer wavelength than said first wavelength, said mirror being centered about said optical axis of the microscope at an angle of about forty-five degrees, (c) a fiber optic cable having a first end coupled with said housing and a second end adapted to receive ultraviolet radiation, said fiber optic cable adapted to introduce ultraviolet radiation into said internal passageway for downward deflection by said mirror along said optical axis of the microscope, and (d) a source of ultraviolet radiation comprising a laser adapted to illuminate said second end of said fiber optical cable.
