Schott EasyLED Illumination Options: Precision Lighting for Advanced Microscopy

Schott’s EasyLED series provides robust, energy-efficient LED illumination solutions for stereo microscopy, featuring specialized variants tailored to diverse applications. Designed for seamless integration and maintenance-free operation, these systems replace traditional fiber-optic illuminators with superior performance.

Key options include:

Ring Lights

  • Standard Ring Light: Delivers homogeneous, shadow-free illumination (90 klux) via a durable anodized metal housing and integrated heat sink.
  • Ring Light Plus: Enhances contrast with eight controllable LED segments and an intuitive “jog dial” for rotating segments or switching modes (e.g. partial/full ring). Boasts 140 klux brightness and fits 66 mm objectives (adapters for 58/60 mm available).
  • Applications: Ideal for highly reflective specimens or demanding industrial environments.
Schott Ring Lights
Back Lights

  • Features SCHOTT Opalika® glass for flawless homogeneity and scratch resistance.
  • Provides uniform illumination (12,000 cd/m²) across a 50 mm diameter area, with continuous dimming (0–100%).
  • Design: Compact controller integrated into the head; compatible with microscope stands (84–180 mm diameter).
  • Applications: Optimized for transparent specimens in quality control or life sciences.
Schott Back Lights
Spot Lights

  • Spot Light Plus Single: One adjustable head emitting 130–140 lm.
  • Spot Light Plus Double: Two independently controlled heads with alternating switching and cooling lamellae to prevent specimen heating. Mounts via goosenecks on posts (20–35 mm) or standalone bases.
  • Advantages: Ergonomic dimming near microscope focus controls; robust metal housing.
  • Applications: Detailed macro analysis requiring directional or shadow-contrast lighting.
Schott Spot Lights
Accessories

  • Optical: Polarization filters (high extinction ratio), color filters (red/blue/green/yellow), and diffusers to eliminate LED reflections.
  • Mechanical: Mounting brackets for diverse stands, BOROFLOAT® glass shields for harsh environments, and tubular diffusers for reflective objects.
Schott Accessories
Shared Advantages Across All Options

  • 50,000-hour LED lifespan with consistent daylight color temperature (5600 K).

  • Integrated controllers for dimming and mode switching; no external boxes needed for ring/back lights.

  • Global compatibility: 100–240 V power supplies, CE-certified, and adaptable to OEM microscopes (Leica, Zeiss, etc.).

  • Rugged construction: Anodized metal housings for industrial or lab use.
