Schott A20990 MC-LS Microscopy LED Light Source with 66mm Ring Light for Stereo Microscopes

The user benefits from a stable light output with a constant color temperature of 5400 kelvin. A low energy consumption of 60 watts and service life of 50,000 maintenance-free operating hours not only save operational costs but also reduce downtime from lamp replacements. The brightness of the LED source can be continuously dimmed via a potentiometer. The user is no longer affected by “halogen glow” or color shifts that are typical when using traditional halogen sources at low light levels.

Connections that make a difference

In addition to a 9-pin connector for analog control, an integrated USB port and RS232 interface provide accurate and digital remote control of the MC-LS. The light source can help streamline processes because important settings can be controlled remotely and integrated into application software. This allows the user to switch the light source on and off remotely, set the brightness between 0 and 100 percent, and read out data automatically.

Sophisticated housing design

Because the Schott MC-LS is smaller than its predecessor models ACE and DCR, it can easily be used to replace these sources. A robust metal housing makes the light source resistant to vibration, shocks and heat while imparting a high-quality feel and appearance. An integrated ergonomic fan enables low-noise operation for undisturbed work.
