How Darkfield Illumination Works
Darkfield illumination directs light towards the specimen at a low angle rather than directly into the microscope objective.
Smooth areas remain comparatively dark, while edges, scratches, particles and other surface irregularities scatter light towards the objective and appear bright.
This can make very fine surface features easier to detect than with conventional brightfield illumination.
Helps reveal fine scratches and surface defects.
Highlights dust, particles, fibres and contamination.
Makes fine edges and specimen structures more visible.
Useful for polished, machined and reflective components.
The 400.810 focus optics ring fits directly to the compatible VisiLED Slim Ring Light and converts the illumination into a low-angle darkfield configuration.
No separate extension tube or mounting adapter is required.
SCHOTT P/N 400.810 is designed specifically for use with the VisiLED Slim Ring Light – P/N 400.150.
It is not intended as a universal darkfield accessory for other VisiLED ring-light models.
Typical Applications
Detect surface defects and manufacturing imperfections.
Inspect polished and machined surfaces.
Examine small components, edges and surface structures.
Highlight particles, fibres and surface contamination.
Working Distance
The darkfield focus optics ring is designed for a free working distance of approximately 5–20 mm. Check that your microscope objective and specimen arrangement can operate within this range.
