The Schott KL Series Annular Ringlight 58mm (Model 157.410) is a precision-engineered fiber optic illuminator designed to provide uniform, shadow-free illumination for microscopy applications. It features a continuous ring of illumination fibers embedded within a rugged, anodized black aluminum housing, ensuring durability and optimal light delivery. The ringlight mounts directly onto 58 mm standard microscope objectives using a thumb screw, facilitating easy installation and adjustment.
Key specifications and features include:
This annular ringlight is critical for biotechnology laboratories, particularly in applications such as molecular diagnostics, synthetic biology, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines where precise shadow-free illumination enhances image clarity and reproducibility. Its design supports advanced microscopy techniques, making it widely adopted among molecular biology researchers and biomedical engineers focused on cellular and tissue imaging.
The Schott KL Series ringlight combines robust mechanical design with high-performance optical delivery, enabling researchers to achieve consistent, high-contrast illumination in fluorescence microscopy, live-cell imaging, and other precision imaging scenarios crucial to modern biotechnological research and clinical diagnostics.
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.
With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.
Yes. Every verified supplier states which service partners cover the instrument, and we list that alongside the offer.
Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.
Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.
We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
Tell us what you need and a scientist finds it for you, usually within the hour.
