SCHOTT VisiLED MC-D 1100 Digital LED Illumination Systems for Stereo Microscopy
Digitally controllable VisiLED ring-light systems with USB-C PC control for stereo microscopy, imaging and automated inspection.
Digital Control for SCHOTT VisiLED Illumination
The SCHOTT VisiLED MC-D 1100 combines the modular VisiLED illumination platform with a digital controller offering PC control via USB-C.
This makes it particularly useful where microscope illumination needs to form part of a digital imaging, documentation, quality-control or automated inspection workflow.
Auckland Scientific supplies these as complete UK systems comprising the selected VisiLED ring light, MC-D 1100 controller, controller power supply and UK mains lead.
Why Choose the MC-D 1100?
USB-C PC Control
Connect the illumination controller to a compatible computer for digital control.

USB-C PC Control
Integrate Illumination into Digital Workflows
Unlike the standard MC 1100, the MC-D 1100 provides a USB-C interface for PC control.
This can be useful where illumination settings need to be controlled alongside a microscope camera, imaging system or inspection process.
Digital control can also support more repeatable illumination conditions when different operators or samples need to be compared.
Control the Direction of Illumination
Compatible segmented VisiLED ring lights allow different areas of the ring to be activated, changing the direction from which light reaches the specimen.
Balanced Illumination
Use the complete ring for general brightfield observation.
