Here is your chance to get some exceptional bargains on the finest fiber optic illuminators from Scholly (German), Volpi, (Swiss) and Volpi (USA). Many of these are brand new units with full five year warranty. Some are demo models but will include a one year warranty and a brand new bulb.

VOLPI (Swiss) is one of our oldest suppliers of fiber optic lighting for microscopy. Their USA manufacturing and distribution facility is located in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of New York. The latest small footprint 150W light source is the INTRALUX 5100. This "upright" light source has a very quiet fan and both the patented Volpi CRESCENT light control and a rheostat. The CRESCENT reduces intensity without changing color temperature ("Whiteness" of the light). A convenient slot (left side) filter slot, easy bulb exchange (from the top) with quick lid release and built-in carrying handle make the new 5100 a perfect solution for professional fiber optic illumination without taking up a lot of space on your work area. $550.00 for basic lamp without fiber optic fixture. Includes 150W EKE reflector lamp. Shown in the photo with a fiber optic ringlight for a shadow-free illumination of a gear component.

We can offer the latest Schott fiber optic "backlight" that has been adapted for use with polarized light. A very nice rotating polarizer in mount attaches to the backlight and becomes the perfect solution for the study of thin mineral sections, plastic parts, fibers or any other specimen that requires polarized light. The ANALYZER component is then mounted to the front lens or integrated in the macrozoom of choice. The incoming flexible fiber optic light guide is easily connected to the backlight and the illumination is "homogenized" inside for perfect, even lighting with or without the polarizer option...perfect for gross specimen (pathology) backlighting with blue, red or green filtering.

Great for optical bench experiments, stereo microscopes and your own 35MM "macro" and photomacro rig. The four point "ringlights" are excellent for small object photography, insects or 3D samples wanting the benefits of four point illumination. All units can accept colored filters for special effect lighting.

Many times it is mandatory to have the lamp "up and away" from the work area. Our solution on boom stands is to provide a convenient light source shelf mounted on the vertical pole. This is perfect for art conservation, small animal surgery or circuit board inspection rigs. The shelf may be positioned in a convenient location to be out of the way yet easily reached for slight intensity adjustments or filter exchanges. Accepts conventional lamp housings or the new VOLPI 5100 vertical model. Velcro straps are provided to secure the lamp to the shelf.

Scholly (German) Fiber Optic Illuminators

FIBER OPTIC BRIGHTFIELD/DARKFIELD TRANSILLUMINATION MODULE FOR USE ON STEREO MICROSCOPES, VIDEO MACROSCOPES OR PHOTOMACRO SET-UPS... $599.00 REQUIRES 150W FIBER OPTIC ILLUMINATOR... $450.00 COMBINED DARKFIELD TRANSMITTED LIGHT AND INCIDENT TOP LIGHTING PERFECT FOR ENTOMOLOGY, GEOLOGY, EMBRYOLOGY AND AQUATICS ACCEPTS COLOR FILTERS FOR VERY UNIQUE LIGHTING EFFECT

The Bunton-made MACROZOOM-FL epifluorescence modular system is easily mounted to a variety of support stands. Here you will see the unit connected to a support stand with a 1/4 - 20 bolt. We now offer a LIQUID LIGHT GUIDE option to glass fibers for improved light transmission and broader spectral range. MACROZOOM-FL may be used with special macro front lenses or intravital optics (water immersion as shown) and the latest Peltier-cooled digital cameras. CALL or EMAIL for details on lighting and optical selections. The photo on the left shows the Bunton Macrozoom-FL mounted on a simple support stand via connection with a ¼-20 tripod bushing.  It also is shown with a special 55x water immersion objective and a USA-made 175 xenon arc lamp with liquid light guide connection. The photo on the right shows the Macrozoom-FL and a macro objective 2x for large field excitation using the newest Prior Lumen 200 metal halide lamp with extended bulb life (2000 hours) and variable intensity adjustment.  The lumen 200 also uses a 2 or 3 meter liquid light guide to bring the very homogeneous light beam into the vertical illuminator port. This lamp has spectral properties identical to those found on a mercury arc lamp.  The perfect fluorescence imaging solution for GFP tagged living organisms….a superior alternative to fluorescence on a stereo microscope at a much lower price tag!   UPGRADE YOUR EPIFLUORESCENCE MICROSCOPE WITH THE LATEST ILLUMINATION TECHNOLOGY! Bunton is pleased to offer an excellent upgrade for current or older microscopes.  This involves the UK-made 200W metal halide light source with pre-centered reflector bulb and 2000 hour expected lifetime….6-10 times that of a 100W mercury arc lamp.  Very even lighting is achieved by bringing the light to the microscope vertical illuminator via a liquid light guide (2000mm long) and connecting to collimating optics based on the make and model microscope you own.  The old lamp housing, socket and power supply may then be put aside or used as a trade-in.  The Lumen 200, liquid light guide and collector lens is under $5000.00.  The cost of this conversion is rapidly repaid in greatly extended bulb life and reduced hourly operating costs.  This is an ideal illumination solution for digital fluorescence microscopy,  live cell studies,  or routine F.A. examinations.  An advanced model with PC interface and motorized filter wheel is offered.  Put the light source on a shelf or out of the way of the microscope work surface.  Adjust lamp intensity with the knob on the right and avoid serious fluorochrome quenching!  Hour meter and bulb-change warning is included.  Bulbs are exchanged in less than one minute and NO ALIGNMENT IS REQUIRED! We have adapters for all of the older Leitz microscopes as well as Nikon, Olympus and Carl Zeiss microscopes.  Let us know your make and model microscope and we can send you a quotation within 24 hours.
