Nikon C-FLED2 LED Light Source for Fiber Illuminator (65494)

The Nikon C-FLED2 LED Light Source for Fiber Illuminator is a high-performance episcopic (reflected light) illumination accessory designed for use with Nikon stereo microscopes, including the SMZ25 and SMZ18 models. This LED light source is intended to be used with fiber optic illumination units, such as flexible double arm fiber illuminators or coaxial epi illuminators, to provide bright, uniform, and adjustable lighting for a wide range of observation methods. The C-FLED2 is especially effective for capturing clear, shadow-free images of thick or reflective samples, making it suitable for applications in research, quality control, and industrial inspection.

Purpose and Features:

• Provides high-intensity, white LED illumination through fiber optic light guides for episcopic observation

• Designed for use with Nikon fiber illumination accessories, including flexible double arm fiber units, ring fiber units, and coaxial epi illuminators

• Offers adjustable light intensity via a control dial, allowing users to optimize brightness for different samples and observation needs

• Delivers stable, long-lasting illumination with a typical LED lifespan of up to 20,000 hours

• Ideal for brightfield, epi-fluorescence, simple polarizing (with appropriate attachments), darkfield (with compatible units), and oblique lighting techniques

• Enables shadowless imaging, which is particularly useful for thick or highly reflective specimens

Compatibility:
Works with Nikon SMZ25, SMZ18, and other compatible stereo microscopes equipped with fiber illumination adapters or bases.

Applications:
Brightfield and reflected light microscopy
Epi-fluorescence and polarizing observation (with suitable attachments)
Darkfield and oblique lighting for enhanced contrast
Research, industrial inspection, and quality control

The Nikon C-FLED2 LED Light Source for Fiber Illuminator is an essential component for users who require reliable, flexible, and high-quality illumination in advanced stereo microscopy, supporting a broad range of imaging techniques and sample types.
