Product description

The Schott DUAL Fiber-Optic Backlight A08926 provides calibrated, diffuse illumination essential for high-precision optical imaging and inspection workflows in biotechnology and clinical diagnostics. Engineered with an advanced *DDL-bulb calibration* process, it achieves consistent grayscale levels from ±13 to ±15 at a mean of 200 with a gamma of 1.0, ensuring uniform light distribution across the 4.0" x 5.0" active area.

Key technical features include:

  • White acrylic diffuser plate delivering an optimal balance of uniformity and intensity for sharp edge definition or soft, diffuse incident light, essential for live-cell imaging or fluorescence analysis.
  • Built with rugged, black anodized aluminum housing and a fiber bundle shielded by flexible PVC-covered metal tubing for industrial durability and protection.
  • Compact, low-profile design facilitates integration in confined benchtop setups and optical microscopy systems.
  • Equipped with a protective infrared (IR) filter to safeguard plastic fibers, ensuring longevity and compatibility particularly with strobes and ColdVision Series light sources.
  • Modular design supports dual and quad backlight configurations, increasing lighting versatility to accommodate various bioprocessing visualization tasks and synthetic biology research applications.

This backlight system is *widely adopted in biotechnology research* environments requiring stable, uniform backlighting for molecular diagnostics and biomanufacturing quality control. Its precise illumination characteristics are critical in automated inspection systems, live-cell imaging platforms, and fluorescence quantification technologies, making it an indispensable tool for advanced research laboratories focusing on gene editing and synthetic biology workflows.

Overall, the Schott A08926 fiber-optic backlight enhances image clarity, facilitates reproducible quantitative imaging, and supports specialized lighting configurations in biomedical engineering and clinical diagnostic imaging setups.

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.
