Description

Fiber Optic Ring Light Guide Flex Cable 8-Port Microscope Illuminator 80mm OD

This fiber optic ring light guide is a flexible illumination cable designed to couple an external fiber optic light source to a stereo or inspection microscope. The stainless steel armored flex cable carries fiber bundles from the input tip to an 8-port circular ring mount, which surrounds the microscope objective and delivers even, shadow-free illumination directly onto the specimen. The ring attaches around the objective lens or specimen stage, and the input tip plugs into a compatible fiber optic illuminator/light source (sold separately).

Applications

Fiber optic ring light guides are standard illumination accessories for stereo microscopes, inspection microscopes, and low-power biological microscopes used in electronics assembly, PCB inspection, gemology, entomology, watchmaking, medical device manufacturing, and quality control. The ring-mount design positions the light source output directly around the objective, eliminating shadows and hotspots that cause problems with coaxial or oblique lighting. Because the fiber cable carries light without conducting heat, the specimen stays cool even under prolonged illumination — a key advantage over incandescent ring lights mounted directly on the objective. These accessories are compatible with most fiber optic illuminators that accept a standard-diameter input tip (15mm in this case); buyers should confirm their light source accepts a 15mm input tip before purchasing. The 80mm OD ring suits a wide range of stereo microscope body diameters commonly found in laboratory and industrial settings.

Condition: Used
This fiber optic ring light guide and flex cable assembly has been inspected and appears to be in good used condition. The stainless steel armored flex cable and black anodized aluminum ring are intact with no cracks or breaks. The input tip and ring connector both show some tarnishing and light surface patina on the metal, as visible in the photos — normal for a used item of this type. The fiber bundle and 8-port ring face appear undamaged. No light source or power supply is included. Please review our photos and contact us with any questions before purchasing.
