Product description

The Schott A22040 Ringlight is specifically engineered to provide consistent, shadow-free illumination for Nikon SMZ 645 and SMZ 660 stereo microscopes. Featuring a 33-inch (838 mm) fiber optic bundle length, it ensures flexible positioning with a working distance range of 1.5 to 6 inches (38 to 152 mm). This ringlight is designed with a vertical exit bundle that enhances workspace efficiency by preventing interference from surrounding objects, critical in precision microscopy setups frequently employed in biotechnology and molecular diagnostics.

Key technical features include:

  • ESD-safe construction: The conductive finish replaces traditional black anodized coating, combined with stainless steel tubing to protect sensitive components from static discharge, essential in bioprocessing and synthetic biology research environments.
  • Retaining ring mounting system: Facilitates secure and precise installation on 66 mm microscope and camera objectives without the need for adapters, optimizing routines in live-cell imaging and fluorescence analysis workflows.
  • Compatible with ColdVision light sources (ACE, DCR, CV-LS) and adaptable to other manufacturers' continuous illumination systems using available adapters.
  • Supports the addition of optical accessories such as dichroic color filters, diffusers, polarizers/analyzers, and reflector rings, enabling customized illumination profiles and improved contrast for advanced cell imaging and biomedical engineering applications.
  • The thumbscrew clamping system (may vary by model) offers stable, adjustable positioning, easing integration into complex molecular cloning and biomanufacturing setups.
  • Custom and modified ringlight configurations are available to meet specialized research needs.

The Schott A22040 ringlight plays a crucial role in enhancing image quality and illumination uniformity, making it a vital tool for researchers and professionals engaged in clinical diagnostics, neuroscience imaging, and biotechnology laboratories. Its design supports the demanding illumination requirements of gene editing and synthetic biology workflows, where consistent, controlled microscopy lighting substantially improves analytical outcomes.

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?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options 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.
