StarLight Opto-Electronics

StarLight Opto-Electronics is a German manufacturer of LED and fibre-optic illumination for stereo microscopy and industrial inspection, producing cold light sources, ring lights and the flexible light guides that carry illumination to the specimen.

Lancetech Limited lists more than 200 StarLight microscopy items, most of them gooseneck light guides from the GLS and GLF series. Options include one, two or three arms, arm lengths from 450 mm up to 1600 mm, mixed-length pairs such as the GLS2-600+800-4.5, and active fibre diameters of 4.5 mm or 9 mm, for example the single-armed GLF1-1600-9.0.

Quality control inspectors, electronics assemblers and materials laboratories fit these guides to cold light sources to put bright, cool illumination exactly where a stereo microscope needs it. Choose arm count by how many angles you want to light at once, length by the reach from source to stage, and the larger 9 mm diameter when light output matters more than flexibility. Quotations are available on any configuration.
