Schott A08906 Fiber-Optic Light Line 6.0" x 0.033" for Microscopy and Inspection

The Schott A08906 Fiber-Optic Light Line provides a highly uniform, calibrated illumination solution essential for precision microscopy and inspection applications, including complex biotechnology workflows such as live-cell imaging and molecular diagnostics. Designed as an alternative to conventional fiber optic bundles, this light line offers targeted, precise illumination critical in synthetic biology and bioprocessing research environments.

• Calibrated Illumination: Uses a DDL-bulb calibration to achieve a mean gray scale level of 200 at gamma 1.0, ensuring optimum uniformity across the light line, critical for quantitative imaging and fluorescence analysis.
• High Precision Alignment: The fiber line is mounted within a rugged aluminum body with an accuracy of ±0.004” (0.1 mm) on all three planes, guaranteeing parallelism with the mounting surface for consistent light delivery.
• Durable Construction: Features a black anodized aluminum body with PVC-covered metal tubing protecting the fiber bundle, suited for repeated use in demanding laboratory and biomanufacturing environments.
• Customizable Options: Custom lengths, bundle exit configurations, and multi-fiber combinations (dual, quad) are available to meet specialized requirements in biopharmaceutical production pipelines and high-precision molecular cloning workflows.
• Accessory Compatibility: Compatible with cylindrical and apertured lenses (made-to-order), and mounting holders/support products enhance versatility for diverse applications including neuroimaging and biomedical engineering.

This fiber-optic light line is widely adopted in synthetic biology research and critical for applications requiring highly uniform, stable illumination essential to microscopy-based biotechnology research and clinical diagnostics.
