High-performance halogen cold light source with dual light guide for stereomicroscopy and macroscopy illumination.
The SCHOTT KL1500 Electronic Cold Light Source is a specialized halogen illumination system designed for precise and stable light delivery in microscopy applications. Featuring a duplex (dual) light guide, it provides versatile illumination options optimal for stereomicroscopy and macroscopy work in both industrial and life science research settings.
Key technical specifications include:
This cold light source is widely used in biomedical engineering, cell imaging, and biotechnology research, where stable and heat-free illumination is critical. It supports advanced applications in live-cell imaging and fluorescence analysis, making it a valuable component in molecular diagnostics and synthetic biology laboratories. Widely adopted in biomanufacturing and neuroscience research, the KL1500 enhances the accuracy and reproducibility of microscopy-based bioprocessing and molecular cloning workflows.
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.
