This is description of this part:
Leica CLS 100 LED illuminator (light source) used for illuminating biological microscopes and, primarily, stereoscopic microscopes.
- Leica CLS 100 LED light source
- Leica P/N 633-20-002
- 24V power supply (220-240V - 24V transformer)
- built-in ON / OFF switch
- continuously variable brightness control
- LED lamp installed inside
Important for certain applications, this illuminator features passive cooling, meaning a heat sink instead of a fan. As a result, there are no vibrations that are often transferred to the workbench and then to the microscope specimen. This is particularly important when observing in-vivo specimens where the medium is a droplet of water. In such cases, vibrations generated by a fan can cause movement of objects (for example microorganisms) within the water droplet, resulting in a blurred image.
IMPORTANT: this listing includes only the light source - no fibre optic light guide or ring illuminator is included.
What is this part needed for?
- if you own such an illuminator but it has become damaged and you need a replacement
- if you already have a suitable fibre optic light guide or fibre optic ring (light-ring) and need a light source for it
- if you own an older halogen Leica CLS 100 model and would like to upgrade to LED
- if you need a compact light source for your own DIY project
