Features:
Fiber optic ring lights provide 360º of shadow free, on-axis, uniform, high intensity illumination. Fiber optic ring lights are used in Stereo & Video Microscopy systems, Photography, Metrology, automated inspection and placement machines.
A fiber optic ring light with a quartz-halogen source distributes intense light to the subject, in a small mechanical package, optimizing accessibility to the stage and specimen. Using a dichroic mirror at the light source to filter out IR (heat) wavelengths, fiber optic ring lights (fiber optic accessories in general) transmit “cold” light.
Typical color temperature of the output ranges from 3200°-3450°Kelvin.
Using an LED light source can raise the color temperature to 6500 degrees K or higher.
Because the light reflects off the subject in a 360º arc, ring lights have proven to be effective in minimizing shadows.
When used with a polarizer set, ring lights are also effective solutions for minimizing specular reflection and glare.
