Schott Lightline Dual 6.0" x .022" Fiber Optic Light Source A08975

The Schott Lightline Dual 6.0" x .022" (Model A08975) is a precision-engineered fiber optic light source designed as an alternative to traditional fiber optic bundles, optimized for microscopy and inspection illumination applications. This illumination system provides high uniformity and controlled grayscale output, essential for advanced cell imaging, fluorescence analysis, and biotechnology workflows requiring consistent light intensity.

Key technical features include:

• Calibrated with a DDL-bulb to deliver a specified number of grayscale levels at a mean value of 200 with a gamma setting of 1.0, ensuring optimum uniformity essential for molecular diagnostics and sensitive imaging techniques.
• High-precision fiber positioning within ±0.004” (0.1 mm) tolerance across three planes guarantees that the fiber axis is parallel to the mounting surface, critical for reproducible illumination in microscopy and biomedical engineering applications.
• Rugged, anodized aluminum body and ferrule construction with PVC-covered metal tubing offers durable protection for the fiber bundle during intensive bioprocessing setups or laboratory environments.
• Compatible with various mounting holders and support accessories to adapt the lightline to specific instrument configurations common in synthetic biology and gene editing laboratories.
• Customizable options including alternate lengths, bundle exits, dual or quad combinations, and line widths address unique requirements for specialized live-cell imaging systems and biomanufacturing inspection lines.
• Availability of cylindrical and apertured lenses (made-to-order) further enhances adaptability for applications requiring directional or shaped illumination.

This lightline fiber optic system is widely adopted in microscopy and precision inspection fields, making it essential for researchers involved in neuroimaging, cellular morphology studies, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines where uniform and precise illumination is critical.

Integrating the Schott Lightline Dual into lab setups supports enhanced imaging fidelity and consistent lighting conditions, improving experimental reproducibility in molecular biology and clinical diagnostics research environments.
