Semi-rigid 30" fiber-optic light guide with 5mm ferrule; precise, shadow-free illumination for optical applications.
The Schott A08410 Single Gooseneck Fiber-Optic Light Guide features a 30-inch (762 mm) black dekabon semi-rigid gooseneck tubing designed for precise control of light placement in microscopy, fluorescence analysis, and other optical instrument illumination tasks. The fiber-optic assembly includes a 5 mm distal ferrule diameter and a 10 mm active input fiber diameter, optimized for uniform light delivery. Its opposing gooseneck legs configuration provides near shadow-free illumination, enhancing the clarity and quality of light exposure.
Key technical specifications:
This fiber-optic light guide is essential for biotechnology laboratories requiring reliable, flexible illumination solutions for live-cell imaging, molecular diagnostics, and bioprocessing instrumentation. Its precise positioning capability supports critical workflows in synthetic biology and biomanufacturing research where controlled light exposure is vital. Widely adopted for applications demanding consistent and shadow-free illumination in clinical diagnostics and cell imaging, the Schott A08410 facilitates enhanced visualization in advanced optical setups.
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.
