Schott Fiber-Optic Backlight 2.0" x 2.0" Model A08920 with Uniform Diffuse Illumination

The Schott Fiber-Optic Backlight (2.0" x 2.0", Model A08920) is engineered to provide highly uniform and diffuse illumination critical for imaging and optical analysis in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and biomedical engineering research.

• Calibrated illumination: Achieves ±13 to ±15 gray scale levels at a mean output of 200 with a gamma setting of 1.0 using a patented process, ensuring consistent light uniformity essential for precise fluorescence analysis and cell imaging tasks.
• Optical components: Incorporates a white acrylic diffuser plate that balances intensity with uniformity, optimized for soft or crisp edge definition lighting critical in live-cell imaging and synthetic biology workflows.
• Robust design: Features a rugged black anodized aluminum housing and plastic fiber bundle protected by flexible PVC-covered metal tubing, making it suitable for demanding bioprocessing environments and long-term use in biomanufacturing production lines.
• Compact form factor: Low-profile design enables integration into space-constrained laboratory setups, supporting fluorescence and brightfield microscopy applications widely used in neuroimaging and molecular cloning studies.
• Versatile configurations: Supports dual and quad unit arrangements for enhanced lighting versatility; custom sizes and combinations are available, allowing tailored illumination solutions for specialized biotechnology instrumentation.
• Compatibility: Optimized for use with strobes and ColdVision Series light sources; caution advised when using alternative sources lacking IR filters, as these may degrade the fiber optic material.

This fiber-optic backlight is an essential component in optical instrumentation for precision fluorescence analysis, live-cell fluorescence imaging, and other critical procedures in synthetic biology and biomedical research laboratories.
