Product description

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:

  • Continuous fiber optic ring illumination for even light distribution essential in fluorescence analysis and live-cell imaging.
  • Compatibility with 58 mm standard objectives, with adaptors available to extend compatibility across various objective series, enhancing flexibility for diverse microscopy platforms.
  • Fiber bundle sheathed in flexible metal PVC for protection and improved longevity in laboratory environments.
  • No interference with light guides, maintaining unobstructed access to sample areas during imaging or bioprocessing workflows.
  • Constructed from rugged, black anodized aluminum housing ensuring mechanical stability and resistance to laboratory wear.

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.

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?

Yes. Every verified supplier states which service partners cover the instrument, and we list that 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.
