Schott Single Gooseneck Fiber-Optic Light Guide 18" Model A08400

The Schott Single Gooseneck Fiber-Optic Light Guide A08400 is engineered for precise, adjustable illumination in laboratory environments. Constructed from chrome-plated semi-obedient metal or black carbon semi-rigid gooseneck tubing, this 18-inch light guide enables flexible positioning to direct light exactly where required, essential for microscopy, bioprocessing workstations, and molecular diagnostics applications.

Key technical features include:

• Semi-obedient gooseneck tubing providing stable yet easily repositionable light guidance.
• Compatibility with standard output ferrules that accept spot lenses and polarizing caps, facilitating varied illumination techniques for live-cell imaging and fluorescence analysis.
• Dual models available to illuminate workspaces from a single light source, with gooseneck legs positioned oppositely to create near shadow-free lighting—critical in precision visual and optical measurements.
• The option for customized configurations to fit specific research or industrial biomanufacturing illumination requirements.

This fiber-optic light guide is widely used in biotechnology laboratories, microscopy setups, and clinical diagnostics to enhance visibility without heat emission at the sample site. Its design ensures stable illumination positioning, making it a reliable accessory in synthetic biology research and cell imaging workflows.

Schott’s A08400 model is an essential component for laboratories demanding accurate, shadow-free light guidance critical in high-precision biotechnological applications such as gene editing visualization and molecular cloning workflows.
