SCHOTT Fibre Optic Light Guides for KL 300 LED

Flexible, gooseneck and combination fibre-optic light guides for precise illumination with the SCHOTT KL 300 LED.

Choose the Illumination Geometry to Suit Your Specimen

SCHOTT fibre-optic light guides allow the KL 300 LED light source to be configured for different stereo microscopy and inspection applications.

The range includes self-supporting gooseneck guides for precise directional illumination, flexible guides for versatile positioning and a combination light guide designed to support both incident and transmitted-light arrangements.

SCHOTT microscopy light guides use PURAVIS® glass optical fibres, providing high white-light transmission with low colour shift.

Single-Branch Gooseneck – P/N 170.101

Single self-supporting gooseneck guide for concentrated directional illumination.

Fibre bundle: Ø3.5 mm
Length: 500 mm

Double-Branch Gooseneck – P/N 170.202

Two independently positionable gooseneck branches allow illumination from different angles around the specimen.

Fibre bundle: Ø3.5 mm per branch
Length: 500 mm

Flexible Single-Branch – P/N 121.101

Compact flexible light guide for positioning illumination wherever it is required around the microscope.

Fibre bundle: Ø4.5 mm
Length: 600 mm

Flexible Single-Branch – P/N 171.101

Longer single-branch flexible guide for installations where greater reach is required.

Fibre bundle: Ø4.5 mm
Length: 1000 mm

Flexible Double-Branch – P/N 171.202

Two flexible branches provide illumination from two positions and allow greater freedom when arranging the microscope workspace.

Fibre bundle: Ø4.5 mm per branch
Length: 1000 mm

Combi Light Guide – P/N 120.402

Combination guide providing one flexible branch and one self-supporting gooseneck branch.

It can be used as part of a combined incident and transmitted-light arrangement with the SCHOTT 122.150 Transmitted Light Stage.

Flexible branch: Ø4.5 mm × 600 mm
Gooseneck branch: Ø3.5 mm × 500 mm

These light guides use the dedicated connection for the KL 300 LED.

They should not be assumed to fit the KL 1600 LED, KL 2500 LED or KL 1500 HAL, which use a different standard light-guide connection.

These are passive fibre-optic light guides and require a compatible SCHOTT KL 300 LED light source to provide illumination.

The KL 300 LED is part of a modular fibre-optic illumination system. This diagram shows the available flexible and gooseneck light guides together with ring lights, transmitted-light components, focusing optics and mounting accessories.
