RING LIGHT
OPTIONS
Fiberoptic ring lights provide 360º of shadow free,
on-axis, uniform, high intensity illumination. Fiber
optic ring lights are used in Stereo & Video Microscopy
systems, Photography, Metrology, automated inspection
and placement machines.
A fiberoptic ring light with a quartz-halogen source
distributes intense light to the subject, in a small
mechanical package optimizing accessibility to the stage
and specimen. Using a dichroic mirror at the light source
to filter out IR (heat) wavelengths, fiberoptic ring lights
(fiberoptic accessories in general) transmit "cold"
light.
Typical color temperature of the output ranges from
3200°-3450°Kelvin. (See Lamp
Characteristics for more information regarding color
temperature.)
Because the light reflects off the subject in a 360º
arc, ring lights have proven to be effective in minimizing
shadows.
When used with a polarizer set, ring lights are also
effective solutions for minimizing specular reflection
and glare.
FTI manufactures a family of fiberoptic ring lights unsurpassed
in quality and performance. Exceptional output uniformity,
mounting ease, and a large selection of customizing
options and accessories make the product family adaptable
to any need.
The standard fiber optic bundle is protected by a flexible
PVC sheathed stainless steel tubing. A compact, rugged,
black anodized aluminum housing contains and protects
the fiberoptic annulus, and anodized aluminum input
adapter ensures a long and trouble free life.
