VisiLEDs bring contrast into stereo microscopy

VisiLEDs

The VisiLED MC series is an innovative illumination system using white LEDs. Specially developed for the fields of stereo microscopy and macroscopy, this system opens up completely new possibilities for putting your specimen in the right light. The excellent electronic controllability of the LEDs affords the MC series contrasting methods which go far beyond the possibilities provided by conventional microscope illuminations. Cold light is brought precisely to the specimen - as you would expect from SCHOTT heat-free and with the best quality white!

Structured illumination for brightfield and darkfield: The modular system offers four ringlights for different applications: two ringlights for intensive incident illumination and a ringlight for lower brightness requirements. An additional ringlight for real incident darkfield ensures optimum illumination of flat-structured specimens. The LED transmitted light stage provides homogenous and suitable light for your application in transmitted light.

LED controller MC1500 - the intelligent multifunction center for your illumination: The MC1500 controller can be controlled completely by PC or laptop using the provided Windows demo software. Alternatively the enclosed DLL-library can be integrated into any customer specific software. After downloading to the memory keys of the MC1500 the chosen settings are available on the controller - even without further connection to a PC. The software enables to operate all controller properties and several extra functions by remote control, e.g.: individual segment control, strobe duration and intensity, rotation frequency, etc.

Features:

  • 5 preset segement modes plus rotation for optimum contrasting
  • Smooth dimming with overdrive position
  • 4 memory positions to safe custom lighting modes
  • Temperature control and overheating protection for LED lightheads
  • External Trigger: to start single strobe
  • Flash mode: to overdrive continous set intensity with a short flash for taking photographs
  • Strobe mode: to utilize internal strobefunction with frequencies between 15 Hz - 5 KHz
  • RS 232 Computer interface (USB 1.1 optional) to set parameters via computer
  • Foot switch to switch between memory positions (optional)
