Schott Lightline Fiber Optic Illumination A08914, 14.0" x 0.014" for Microscopy & Inspection
Product Description
The Schott Lightline A08914 is a precision-engineered fiber optic illumination accessory designed to deliver uniform, glare-free light for advanced microscopy and inspection applications. This line-shaped illumination source measures 14.0" in length with a 0.014" fiber diameter, offering an alternative to traditional fiber optic bundles for enhanced spatial control of light output.
Key technical features include:
- Calibrated illumination using a DDL-bulb to achieve a mean gray scale level of 200 with gamma 1.0, optimizing uniformity critical for detailed microscopic imaging and fluorescence analysis.
- High-precision fiber alignment, with ±0.004” (0.1 mm) positional tolerance in three planes ensures the fiber axis remains parallel to the mounting surface, supporting consistent illumination geometry essential in biotechnological imaging and live-cell observation.
- A rugged aluminum body with black anodized finish, combined with PVC-covered metal tubing, protects the fiber bundle against mechanical damage, suitable for demanding laboratory environments like molecular diagnostics and bioprocess monitoring.
- Flexible customization options including different line widths, multiple bundle configurations (dual, quad), and tailored bundle exits for integration into bespoke optical setups used in synthetic biology and biomanufacturing workflows.
- Availability of cylindrical and apertured lenses (made-to-order) to further shape the light output, facilitating applications such as confocal microscopy, cell imaging, and biomedical engineering tasks that require precise illumination geometry.
This Schott fiber optic Lightline is widely adopted in microscopy setups within clinical diagnostics and biotechnological research fields, providing consistent, high-uniformity illumination essential for automated image analysis and gene editing research imaging pipelines. It is supported by a comprehensive technical data sheet detailing gray scale calibration charts and mechanical tolerances.
Ideal for scientists and researchers requiring a robust, uniform, and customizable lightline source to enhance visibility and imaging contrast in live-cell imaging, fluorescence analysis, and inspection processes critical to molecular biology and biopharmaceutical production.
