ABSTRACT
To remove tumors with the same blood vessel color, observation is performed using a surgical microscope through fluorescent staining. Therefore, surgical microscopes use light emitting diode (LED) emission and excitation wavelengths to induce fluorescence emission wavelengths. LEDs used in hand-held type microscopes have a beam irradiation range of 10° and a weak power of less than 0.5 mW. Therefore, fluorescence emission is difficult. This study proposes to increase the beam width and power of LED by utilizing the quasi-symmetrical beam irradiation method. Commercial LED irradiates a beam 1/r2 distance away from the target (working distance). To obtain the fluorescence emission probability, set up four mirrors. The distance between the mirrors and the LED is 5.9 cm, and the distance between the mirrors and the target is 2.95 cm. The commercial LED reached power on target of 8.0 pW within the wavelength band of 405 nm. The power reaching the target is 0.60 mW in the wavelength band of 405 nm for the LED with the beam mirror attachment method using the quasi-symmetrical beam irradiation method. This result is expected to be sufficient for fluorescence emission. The light power of the mirror was increased by approximately four times.
