SCHOTT KL2500 Fiber Optic LED Light Source Illuminator for Microscopy and Macroscopy
Product Description
The SCHOTT KL2500 Fiber Optic LED Light Source Illuminator delivers superior cold light illumination critical for advanced microscopy, macroscopy, and industrial stereo microscopy applications. This high-performance light source, equipped with a multiple-chip white LED engine, offers an output of 1,000 lumens at the end of a 9 mm diameter fiber optic light guide, equivalent to a traditional 250 W halogen cold light source but with significantly lower power consumption (<40 W).
Key technical features include:
- Continuous electrical dimming control from 0 to 100% with three sensitivity settings (fine, standard, coarse tuning) for precise light intensity adjustment, essential for applications in molecular diagnostics and fluorescence analysis.
- High compactness with integrated handle and iron ballast enhancing stability when mounting goosenecks or ring lights.
- Low-noise fan cooling ensures near-silent operation, maintaining optimal thermal management—critical for sensitive live-cell imaging and biomedical engineering setups.
- PC controllability via USB, plus footswitch and remote control compatibility, facilitating integration with automated microscopy workflows commonly used in synthetic biology and gene editing research.
- Long LED lifetime of approximately 50,000 hours, reducing maintenance and downtime in bioprocessing environments.
- Electronic shutter function and LCD display indicating brightness, operation mode, or error codes improve user interface and experiment reproducibility.
Electrical specifications:
- Operating voltage range of 90–264 V AC, frequency 47–63 Hz, power consumption max 80 VA, protection class II, and compliant with CE, UL, PSE standards ensure safe and versatile usage across global laboratory settings.
Illumination characteristics:
- Light flux: 1,000 lumens
- Color temperature: Approx. 5,600 K (daylight white) enhances contrast and color fidelity for cell imaging and molecular biology protocols.
- Active light guide diameter up to 9 mm (0.35 inch) compatible with a wide selection of fiber optic bundles including single and dual gooseneck configurations as well as ring lights suited for diverse microscopy illumination needs.
This illuminator is widely adopted in biotechnology research and critical in biopharmaceutical production pipelines, where stable, high-intensity cold light sources are essential for precise observation and analysis. The SCHOTT KL2500 is particularly suited for fluorescence analysis, live-cell imaging, and essential molecular cloning workflows, offering versatile and eco-friendly illumination solutions for cutting-edge life science and industrial research environments.
