Schott Light Sources

KL 200 LED

The KL 200 LED light source is perfectly suited to routine microscopes (“Greenough” type), both in terms of price and performance, using one 3 Watt High Power LED as the illuminant. The luminous flux at the end of the light guide is comparable with a 20 Watt halogen lamp. All light guides and corresponding accessories from the previous KL 200 model, which was operated with a halogen lamp, will also fit this model. The KL 200 LED is very small and compact and can be fitted to almost all “Greenough” microscopes with special holding devices, thus forming an unit.

The KL 1500 LED was developed for standard and high end applications using microscopes with a parallel light path (“Galileo” type). Its special optics couple light generated by a total of 7 High Brightness LEDs (each 3 Watt) into a glass fiber bundle with a maximum diameter of 9 mm. The luminous spot at the light guide end remains homogenous and the luminous flux is comparable with a 150 W halogen lamp. This is currently a one-of-a-kind performance. The price of the KL 1500 LED can be compared with its predecessor model, the KL 1500 LCD, which is operated with a halogen lamp.

The KL 1500 LED plus is an enhancement of the standard version, designed for the more upscaled demands in industrial and life science applications of Stereo Microscopy and Macroscopy. The brightness is equivalent to a 150-watt halogen cold light source. All advantages of LED light sources are combined with the main advantages of fiber optics, for an outstanding price-performance ratio.

• All KL 1500 LED basic functions
• PC controllable via USB
• Foot switch connection
• Intensity control at three sensitivities (fine, standard and coarse)
• LCD display indicates brightness setting, operation mode or error code
• Electronic shutter function
• Flash function for freezing of movement

KL 1500 LCD

The KL 1500 LCD is the performance leader in the field of 150-watt halogen cold light sources. With its outstanding modern design combined with optimized, homogeneous light output and variable light control options, this light source has been designed for applications in Stereo Microscopy and Macroscopy in laboratory, industrial and medical applications.
The KL 1500 LCD is available in 120- and 230-volt versions. The KL 1500 LCD has been approved and certified as laboratory and electro-medical device by VDE (230 volt version) and CSA (C/US) (120 volt version). The 230 volt version carries the CE conformity label.

With its new design and unique performance spectrum, the KL 2500 LCD is setting a new benchmark in the field of halogen cold light sources. Fitted with a 250-watt cold light reflector lamp, the KL 2500 LCD transmits more than twice the amount of light as the KL 1500 LCD. This unparalleled performance makes the KL 2500 LCD the instrument of choice for the most challenging applications in Stereo Microscopy, Macroscopy and Forensics. The KL 2500 LCD is equipped with a 5-position filter wheel, which makes filter selection quick and easy. Color filters and special GFP-fluorescence excitation filters are also available. Electronic accessories such as remote control or tilt switch can be connected to the analog socket in the front panel, enabling remote light source operation or connection of an RS-232-Interface.

Multi-component glass fiber, plastic fiber, and quartz fiber are bundled in various shapes such as ring, straight, multibifurcated, and plate types. Using these light guides with Schott's various light sources allows for noise and heat free bright lighting. The light guides can be used for various applications including image processing, UV curing, and display.

Flexible fiber optic Light guides give the user versatility when routing and positioning the light. Features include:

• Tight bending radius for easy routing
• A variety of standard sizes
• Multi-legs illuminated with one light source
• Custom configurations available
