SCHOTT EasyLED Ring Light Accessories – Diffusers, Protection Glass & Polarisation
SCHOTT EasyLED Ring Light Accessories
Diffusers, protection glass and polarisation accessories for adapting illumination and improving contrast with compatible SCHOTT EasyLED ring lights.
Choose the Accessory for Your Application
SCHOTT offers a range of optical accessories that allow EasyLED ring-light illumination to be adapted to different specimens and inspection requirements.
Select the required accessory from the product options above. If you are unsure which solution is appropriate, Auckland Scientific can help identify the most suitable accessory for your ring light and application.
Available Accessories
Protection Glass – P/N 400.560
Protective optical window for compatible SCHOTT EasyLED and VisiLED ring lights.
A useful option where the illumination head may be exposed to dust, contamination or other environmental conditions during laboratory or industrial inspection.
Diffuser – P/N 400.570
The SCHOTT diffuser softens the direct LED illumination from a compatible ring light.
Diffuse illumination can help reduce harsh reflections and individual LED reflections when examining shiny, uneven or reflective surfaces.
Tubular Diffuser – P/N 400.590
The SCHOTT tubular diffuser screws into the inner thread of compatible EasyLED and VisiLED ring lights.
Light from the ring-light LEDs is directed from the outside onto the tube, creating highly diffuse illumination from within. This allows the specimen to be illuminated non-directionally and can significantly reduce interfering reflections on shiny and non-transparent surfaces.
An additional paper diffuser is included and can be fitted inside the tube to further increase the diffusion effect.
Helps produce soft, non-directional illumination around the specimen.
Particularly useful for shiny, curved and reflective specimens.
Provides easier access to the specimen than many conventional dome-light arrangements.
The internal paper diffuser can be replaced when required.
Compatible Ring Lights
- EasyLED Ring Light
- EasyLED Ring Light PLUS
- VisiLED S80-55 – from August 2023
- VisiLED S80-25 – from August 2023
The microscope objective used with the tubular diffuser must have a working distance greater than 55 mm. The available free working distance will be reduced when the diffuser is installed.
Polariser Set – P/N 400.550
The SCHOTT polarisation filter set helps control glare and unwanted reflections when inspecting reflective specimens.
Cross-polarised illumination can be particularly useful when viewing metallic components, plastics, polished surfaces and other samples where surface reflection can obscure fine detail.
Compatible with the EasyLED Ring Light, EasyLED Ring Light PLUS and selected SCHOTT VisiLED ring lights.
