SCHOTT EasyLED Transmitted Light Stage Ø84 mm – LED Back Light for Stereo Microscopy
SCHOTT EasyLED Ring Light PLUS Ø66 mm – Segmentable LED Illumination for Stereo Microscopy
Powerful eight-segment LED ring illumination with selectable lighting patterns for enhanced contrast in stereo microscopy and inspection.
More Than a Conventional Ring Light
The SCHOTT EasyLED Ring Light PLUS 600.300 combines homogeneous LED ring illumination with eight controllable illumination segments.
The integrated controls allow different segment patterns to be selected and rotated around the specimen, changing the direction of illumination without physically repositioning the microscope or light source.
This makes the Ring Light PLUS particularly useful for revealing scratches, edges, surface relief and other directional features that may be difficult to see under conventional full-ring illumination.
Key Features
Select different illumination patterns to change specimen contrast.
High-intensity illumination at a 65 mm working distance.
Broad operating range for stereo microscopy and inspection.
Suitable for direct or adapted mounting to many stereo microscopes.
Intuitive control of brightness, illumination mode and segment rotation.
Daylight-type LED illumination for natural specimen appearance.

Segmentable Illumination
Conventional ring illumination provides light evenly from all directions. This is excellent for general observation but can flatten surface relief and reduce the visibility of some structures.
The EasyLED Ring Light PLUS divides the illumination into eight segments. Different segment patterns can be selected to introduce directional illumination and stronger shadows.
The selected illumination pattern can also be rotated around the specimen using the integrated control, allowing features to be viewed under several lighting directions without touching the sample.
What Can Segment Control Reveal?
Directional illumination can make fine scratches much easier to detect.
Shadows help make small height differences and textures more visible.
Directional lighting can emphasise component boundaries and fine edges.
Changing illumination direction can help control troublesome reflections.
