SCHOTT VisiLEDs bring contrast into stereo microscopy

                                              ■ controllable in segments
                                              ■ easily adaptable to microscope objectives
                                              ■ homogenous illumination of your object field
                                              ■ best white light quality: typically 6,000 K
                                              ■ excellent light values: up to 100 lm total light flux.   Illumination intensity of ringlights up to 120 klx,
                                                 light   density of transmitted light stage up to 8,000 cd/m2
                                              ■ long operating life: typically 10,000 h by actively   controlling the LED chip temperature 

 

 

The VisiLED MC series is an innovative illumination system using white LEDs.
Specially developed for the fields of stereo microscopy and macroscopy, this system opens up completely new possibilities for
putting your specimen in the right light.
The excellent electronic controllability of the LEDs affords the MC series contrasting methods which go far beyond the possibilities provided by conventional illuminations.

Cold light is brought precisely to the specimen – as you would expect from SCHOTT heat-free and with the best quality white!
Structured illumination for brightfield and darkfield : The modular system offers four ringlights for different applications,
two ringlights for intensive incident illumination (working distance 25–50 mm or 55–135 mm) and a ringlight for lower
brightness requirements.An additional ringlight for real incident darkfield (working distance 10 mm) ensures optimum illumination of flat-structures specimens.
The LED transmitted light stage provides homogenous and suitable light for your application in transmitted light.

The basic MC750 controller is available for lower contrasting requirements (just dimming and LED temperature control).

The MC1500 controller offers :
innovative possibilities for contrasting your specimen. By steering up to two illumination heads the MC1500 makes e.g. quick
changeovers between brightfield and darkfield or targeted mixing of incident and transmitted light illumination possible.

■ 5 segments modes plus rotation for optimum contrasting
■ smooth dimming with overdrive position
■ 4 memory positions
■ temperature control of illumination heads
■ flash (external trigger via synchronous cable)
■ computer interface (RS232, USB optional)
■ foot switch for quick changing of memory positions (optional)

Software – full control from the PC:

The MC1500 controller can be steered completely by PC or laptop. You can use the Windows demo software provided or also integrate the enclosed DLL in your specific software. After downloading to the memory keys of the MC1500 the chosen settings are available on the controller – even without connection to a PC. In this way a larger number of MC1500s can be equipped with identical illumination modes in a very short space of time.

The software makes it possible to operate all controller properties and diverse extra functions by remote control, e. g.:

■ individual segment steering
■ strobe light (on-time, frequency)
■ flash duration and intensity
■ saving of setting files in the PC
■ downloading of settings to the MC1500
