Product description

Precision fiber optic lightline for microscopy and inspection, ensuring uniform illumination with ±0.004" fiber alignment tolerance.

The Schott Lightline A08908 is a precision-engineered fiber optic lightline designed as a superior alternative to conventional fiber optic bundles, providing highly uniform and calibrated illumination for microscopy and inspection applications. This lightline features a calibrated DDL-bulb illumination system delivering a mean gray scale level of 200 with a gamma setting of 1.0, ensuring optimum uniformity critical for quantitative imaging and inspection workflows.

Key technical specifications and features include:

  • Precise fiber alignment with assembly tolerances of ±0.004” (0.1 mm) across all three planes, guaranteeing the fiber axis is parallel to the mounting surface, essential for consistent illumination profiles in microscopy and optical inspection instruments.
  • Constructed with a rugged black anodized aluminum body and light source ferrule, complemented by PVC-covered metal tubing that protects the fiber bundle against mechanical stress and environmental factors.
  • Customization capabilities for unique requirements including variable lengths, dual or quad bundle exits, and line widths, enabling bespoke illumination solutions for specialized bioprocessing imaging and biotechnology research instruments.
  • Optional cylindrical and apertured lenses, made-to-order to meet specific beam shaping needs, enhancing versatility in applications such as fluorescence analysis, live-cell imaging illumination, and molecular diagnostics imaging setups.
  • Compatible with a range of Schott Lightline holders and support accessories for seamless integration into existing microscopy and inspection systems.

This fiber optic illuminator is essential in research domains requiring precise, uniform linear illumination, such as biomedical engineering, synthetic biology, and molecular diagnostics. Its accuracy and customization make it widely adopted in biopharmaceutical production pipelines and imaging systems requiring consistent light output.

Incorporating the Schott Lightline A08908 into microscopy setups facilitates reliable, uniform illumination that supports critical workflows in cell imaging, fluorescence analysis, and high-resolution inspection tasks, thereby underpinning advances in biotechnology research and development.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
