Comparison of LED and conventional fluorescence microscopy for detection of acid fast bacilli in a low-incidence setting.

Comparison of LED and conventional fluorescence microscopy for detection of acid fast bacilli in a low-incidence setting.

Light emitting diode fluorescence microscopes have many practical advantages over conventional mercury vapour fluorescence microscopes, which would make them the preferred choice for laboratories in both low- and high-resource settings, provided performance is equivalent.In a nested case-control stu...
