Schott Lightline Fiber Optic Illumination 5.0" x 0.040" Model A08905 for Microscopy and Inspection

The Schott Lightline Model A08905 is a precision-engineered fiber optic illumination accessory designed as an alternative to conventional fiber optic bundles, delivering superior light uniformity and control for microscopy and inspection tasks. Engineered for critical research environments, it ensures highly precise illumination essential in biomedical imaging, biotechnology workflows, and molecular diagnostics.

• Dimensions: 5.0" length with 0.040" fiber diameter, customized for specific application needs
• Calibration: Calibrated with DDL bulb to provide defined grayscale levels at a mean luminance of 200 with gamma 1.0, ensuring optimum uniformity across the illuminated field
• Mechanical Accuracy: Fiber line alignment within ±0.004” (0.1 mm) tolerance in all three spatial planes, guaranteeing the fiber axis remains parallel to the mounting surface for repeatable optical accuracy
• Durability: Rugged aluminum body with black anodized finish, incorporating a light source ferrule and PVC-covered metal tubing to protect the fiber bundle during intensive laboratory use
• Customization: Available with various line widths, bundle configurations (dual, quad), and custom lengths tailored to specialized microscopy or inspection protocols
• Accessory Options: Compatible with cylindrical and apertured lenses (made-to-order) and Lightline holders to adapt to diverse laboratory optical setups

This fiber optic Lightline is widely adopted for high-precision fluorescence analysis, live-cell imaging illumination, and visual inspection systems critical in contemporary synthetic biology, bioprocessing, and biomanufacturing applications. Its consistent light output and compact design make it invaluable in neuroimaging and cell biology research where illumination quality directly impacts data accuracy.
