Optem® Series, Illumination Sources

The illumination source family consists of products designed to provide additional lighting specifically for optical inspection applications. These products are aimed at enhancing visibility and improving image quality during inspections. The family includes remote light sources, fiber optic gooseneck lights, ring lights, and other similar products with built-in light sources. It is important to note that general lighting devices or systems intended for broader applications are not included in this category and are catalogued separately. Remote light sources are standalone units that emit light and can be positioned at a distance from the inspection area. They are often used when direct illumination from the microscope or inspection equipment is insufficient. These light sources can be adjusted to achieve the desired intensity and angle of illumination, enabling the user to optimize lighting conditions for accurate inspection. Fiber optic gooseneck lights are flexible light guides that transmit light from a remote light source to the inspection area. They are highly versatile and can be easily positioned to direct light precisely where it is needed. The flexibility of the gooseneck allows for easy adjustment and alignment, ensuring optimal illumination for different inspection tasks. Ring lights are circular-shaped lights that fit around the objective lens of a microscope or other optical inspection equipment. They provide uniform illumination directly onto the object being examined. Ring lights are particularly useful for reducing shadows and enhancing contrast, making them well-suited for applications that require detailed examination and imaging. Other similar products in the illumination source family may have integral light sources, meaning the light source is built into the same unit as the inspection device. These integrated systems offer the convenience of having both the light source and the inspection tool in one compact package, eliminating the need for separate components and simplifying the setup process. It is worth noting that devices or systems designed for general lighting purposes, such as room lighting or ambient illumination, are not included in the illumination source family. These products are categorized and catalogued separately to meet the diverse needs of different lighting applications. In summary, the illumination source family comprises products specifically designed for optical inspection applications. It includes remote light sources, fiber optic gooseneck lights, ring lights, and similar products with integral light sources. These products provide supplemental lighting to enhance visibility and image quality during inspections. General lighting devices are not included in this category and are catalogued separately to cater to broader lighting needs.
