Techniquip LED Ring Lights

---

They are the predominant lighting method in use today by microscopists since they are low cost, energy efficient, long lasting, and simple and safe to use. 

Advances in LED technology means some of the models can generate an impressive 100 lumens or more for each watt of energy consumed – a value that can easily exceed fiber optic systems by a factor of 50 or more!

Combined with 25,000 – 50,000 hour lifespan which eliminates the constant lamp changing, associated with older technologies LED Ring Lights, offer significant recurring cost savings.

There are no harmful materials present in LED Ring Lights such as mercury found in legacy technologies.

Select for Size    First the foremost, LED ring lights come in different sizes – designed to fit different lenses/objectives.  Make sure you select a size that fits – a little too big is okay but too small is not.

Select for Spectrum
If you need special spectral content – such as infrared or ultraviolet light then that must be specified.  

Select for Working Distance
LED Ring lights are optimized for a certain range of working distances of viewing areas so use care to select one that works well with your microscope or lens. 

Do you need Off-Axis Light?
If you need off-axis light at times then make sure the LED ring you select has “quadrant” control which enables you to turn quadrants of light on and off independently.  

Select for Lighting Pattern
Most LED ring lights are characterized as providing directed light but we also offer diffuse LED ring lighting solutions that function much the same way that fluorescent ring light do – bathing the subject in light from all angles.   There are also darkfield LED ring lights that use the darkfield lighting principle to create images.

Select for Price Point
Finally, there is a typically a range of GOOD – BETTER – BEST in terms of the housing and optical power – decide which level of price/performance is best for you.  If you need help selecting an LED ring – contact us – we would be more than happy to assist you.

What Is Gained from Using a Polarizer/Analyzer Kit?
Certain applications will benefit from LED Ring lights outfitted with a polarizer/analyzer.  Applications where the item being imagined is high reflective can cause undesirable glare when subjected to a standard LED Ring Light.  However, by polarizing the emitted light and by cross-polarizing the reflected light it is possible to enhance the image and reduce glare.  Common examples include stainless steel ball bearings and other such highly reflective parts with non-uniform geometry

Designed and manufactured to the exacting standards that have made TechniQuip an industry leader in microscopy ring lights, the SlimLine delivers powerful, microscope quality white light from the precision aligned LED array.

The CAD designed ring light system contains 40 top quality high-brightness white LED’s housed in a machined aluminum and molded plastic enclosure. The SlimLine offers outstanding illumination performance in a rugged, attractive package.

The advanced LED controller utilizes a proprietary constant current design to provide maximum light output with long life and no color shift when dimming. This key feature is integrated into the compact ring light housing. Adding to its impressive list of features, the SlimLine comes standard with a universal power source for worldwide operation.

Manufactured in TechniQuip’s own Pleasanton, California factory, the SlimLine is backed by the great service and warranty that have made TechniQuip the first choice for OEM’s, laboratories, and other “mission critical” applications.

The Proline 80 is designed with an inner and outer ring populated by 80 high quality, extremely bright, white LED’s. The inner and outer rings of LED’s are set at different angles to create uniform illumination across a wide range of working distances. Each ring and LED segment can be independently controlled using Techniquip's advanced eight segment LED controller. Dual dimming controls provide maximum color stability at all dimming levels. CNC-machined from a solid block of aluminum alloy allowing optimal thermal management and performance in a rugged, attractive package. The ProLine 80 comes standard with a universal power source for worldwide operation.
