SCHOTT VisiLED Darkfield Mounting Accessories & Extension Tubes
Mounting adapters, extension tubes and brackets for configuring compatible SCHOTT VisiLED darkfield illumination systems.
Configure Your VisiLED Darkfield System
SCHOTT offers several mounting arrangements for the VisiLED darkfield illumination system, allowing the darkfield ring light to be combined with a brightfield ring light, mounted to a suitable microscope objective or supported independently.
Select the component required for your existing system. If you are configuring a complete new darkfield installation, Auckland Scientific can help identify the correct combination of parts.

Which Component Do I Need?
Use 400.500 with the appropriate system configuration.
Use 400.510.
Extension tube 157.569.
Extension tube 157.567.
Extension tube 157.562.
Use bracket 400.512.
The correct mounting arrangement depends on the microscope, objective diameter and required free working distance.
If you are unsure which components you require, send Auckland Scientific your microscope model, objective details and approximate working distance and we can help identify the correct configuration.
The VisiLED Slim uses the dedicated 400.810 Darkfield Focus Optics Ring. That accessory fits directly to the Slim Ring Light and does not require these extension-tube configurations.
