Applications
Fiber optic light sources like the FCI 150 are used in research microscopy, optical inspection systems, and materials analysis setups. The EKE lamp format was standard in scientific and industrial optical equipment from the 1980s through 2000s. These units typically couple to fiber bundles for remote illumination of microscope stages, spectrometer sample chambers, and inspection work stations.
Condition: For Parts or Not Working
This McBain Instruments FCI 150 Fiber Optic Light Source is being sold as-is for parts or repair. The unit does power on, but it has significant issues that make it non-functional as a complete illuminator: the internal wires have been cut, the lamp socket is missing, and there is no EKE lamp included. Photo 4 shows the open lamp compartment with the cut wires clearly visible. The internal PCB and transformer appear intact and are visible in photo 5. The case shows general wear consistent with lab use. This unit is best suited as a parts source or for someone with the skills and components to restore it to working condition. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
