Quick and easy changeovers between \n \nstored light settings.\n\n\nPage 11\nContrast Your Application\nNotch in a Wafer, Incident Darkfield & \nBrightfield, 1/4 circle from north\nNotch in a Wafer, Incident Darkfield, \n1/4 circle from north\n11\nThe excellent controllability of the LEDs affords the VisiLED contrasting \nmethods, which go far beyond the possibilities provided by conventional \nmicroscope illuminations. \nThe MC1500 controller contains five preset VisiLED segment illumination \nmodes.\nThis enables quick changeovers between shadow-free full-circle illumination \nto soft-shadow half circle or 4-point illuminations as well as to strongly direc-\ntional illuminations. Rotating these directed illuminations around an object \nintensifies surface structures and optimizes contrast. \nAdditional contrasting options are achieved by combining of two VisiLED \nilluminations. \nFor example: \nn\t The incident darkfield ringlight enhances structures on flat surfaces but \t\n\t\nalso creates black shadows in recessed openings. Adding a small amount \t\n\t\nof brightfield illumination softens these shadows and makes inspection of \t\n\t\nthe recessed openings possible. \nn\t Certain translucent objects are normally inspected with incident light, e.g. \t\n\t\n\u0007crystals in geology. Adding transmitted light and optimizing the illumi- \nnation direction helps considerably to intensify contrasts considerably.\nContinuous rotation of a directional \nillumination increases the impression \nof three-dimensionality with structured \nspecimens, especially when viewed on \na monitor.\nIn flash mode the defined mixed light \ncan be momentarily enhanced by an \nintensive single pulse: exposure times \nof connected photo equipment can be \nreduced – the mixed light “flashes”. This \nis important when documenting weakly \nreflective specimen.\nThe possibility of storing, archiving and \neasily reproducing the high contrasting \nlight conditions together with the op-\ntion of controlling the VisiLEDs from PCs \nmakes the system the ultimate choice \nfor investigations in the field of forensics.\n\n\nPage 12\nVisiLED\nLightheads\nAll VisiLED illuminations are optimized for microscopy use. Strongly focused \nillumination areas as well as the working distances and adaptation diameters \nmatch with common stereo microscope objectives. \nHighly intensive cold light is brought precisely to the specimen – heat-free \nand with the best quality white of approx. 5,600K CCT.\nThe product line comprises:\nBrightfield ringlights for high intensity incident light illumination with \n80 or 40 white LEDs\nn\t \u0007Ringlights S80-55 and S40-55 with minimum working distance of 55 mm \nfor objectives up to magnification 1\nn\t Ringlight S80-25 with working distances of 25 - 50 mm for higher \n\t\nmagnifying objectives\nDarkfield ringlight S40-10D for an intensive illumination in the incident \ndarkfield, enhancing contrasts of flat structured surfaces. It can be mounted \non 58/66/70 mm objectives via an adapter ring or easily be combined with \nall brightfield ringlights using the brightfield-darkfield adapter kit. \nTransmitted light bases for excellent \ncontrasting of transparent objects\nn\t \u0007The compact VisiLED transmitted \nlight stages TLS-BF for brightfield \nand TLS-DF for darkfield fit in all \ncommon stereo microscope stands.\nn\t \u0007The VisiLED ACT base (Advanced \nContrast Transmitted) sets new \nstandards for examing the structures \nof low-contrast, uncolored specimens. \nIt combines transmitted light bright-\nfield and darkfield illuminations, all \nsettable as shadowfree or as oblique \nlight illuminations. Additionally, two \nmechanical diaphragms enable a high \nend relief contrast for low-structured \ntransparent samples and phase speci-\nmen that are scarcely recognizable in \nthe direct brightfield. \n12\n\n\nPage 13\n13\nControllers\n Controllers have been specifically developed for the VisiLED Series microscopy \nillumination system.\nMC1500 – the intelligent multifunction center\nThe MC1500 is the core of the VisiLED system. It controls up to two illumi-\nnations simultaneously and thus offers easy combination of any two VisiLED \nlightheads. The MC1500 allows the setting various illumination parameters \nincluding light intensity, different segment modes and change of illumination \ndirection. Additionally, the controller offers rotating, strobing, external trigge-\nring or flashing of the LED light, ensuring constant mixed light characteristics \nthrough its synchronized control of the connected VisiLED illuminations.\nDifferent mixed light settings can be permanently stored in the memory \nsection of the MC1500, quickly reproducible using the controller keys or a \nfoot switch. The MC1500 can be completely controlled by PC or laptop via \nRS232 interface or USB. It allows exact parameter settings and expanded \nsegment control. A windows demo software and a DLL to integrate in custo-\nmer software are included. \nThe LED temperatures in each VisiLED \nillumination are continuously monitored \nby the MC1500. This thermo guard \nensures a long lifetime of the white \nLEDs – even when set at the maximum \nbrightness level. \nAdditional accessories: a flash cable, \na foot switch and a RS232-to-USB1.1 \nconverter\nMC750\nA controller for lower contrasting \nrequirements. The MC750 has contin-\nuous dimming via potentiometer and \nover temperature protection of the \nLED lighthead.\n\n\nPage 14\n14\nMC750\nP/N 400 010\n22.01.01\nMC1500\nP/N 400 000\n22.01.01\nFlash cable\nP/N 400 035\n22.05.01\nFoot switch\nP/N 400 020\n22.05.01\nRS232 USB 1.1\nconverter\nP/N 400 030\n22.05.01\nPower supply\nP/N 400 050\n22.01.01\nAdaptor Kit BF/DF\nP/N 400 500\n22.03.01\nPower cord EU\nP/N 400 051\nPower cord US\nP/N 400 052\nPower cord UK\nP/N 400 053\nPower cord CH\nP/N 400 054\n22.01.01\nS40-55\nP/N 400 100\n22.02.01\nTLS-DF\nP/N 400 350\n22.03.01\nTLS-BF\nP/N 400 400\n22.03.01\nS40-10D\nP/N 400 300\n22.03.01\nS80-55\nP/N 400 255\n22.02.01\nS80-25\nP/N 400 225\n22.02.01\nACT-Base\nP/N 400 600\n22.04.01\nAnalyzer M 49 x 0.75\nP/N 158 505\nAnalyzer M 52 x 1\nP/N 158 510\n21.02.01\nPolarizing filter\nattachment for TL\nP/N 158 500\n21.02.01\nDF-Adaptor\nØi 66 mm\nØi 70 mm\nP/N 400 510\n22.03.01\nPolarization filter\nP/N 400 550\n22.02.01\nSystem diagram for VisiLED\n\n\nPage 15\n15\nTechnical Data\nIlluminance of VisiLED ringlights dependent on the free working distance\n0\n50\n100\n150\n200\n250\n0\n10\n20\n30\n40\n50\n60\n70\n80\n90\n100\n110\n120\n130\nFree Working Distance [mm]\nIlluminance [klx]\nVisiLED S80-55\nVisiLED S80-25\nVisiLED S40-55\nVisiLED S40-10D\nVisiLED\n \n80 high brightness LEDs \nca. 5,600K \n55 mm … 135 mm \n130 klx (at 75 mm free working distance) \nouter Ø: 114 mm / innerØ: 66 mm / height: 24 mm \n \n80 high brightness LEDs \nca. 5,600K \n25 mm … 50 mm \n200 klx (at 30 mm free working distance) \nouterØ: 114 mm / innerØ: 66 mm / height: 24 mm \n \n40 high brightness LEDs \nca. 5,600K \n55 mm … 110 mm \n80 klx (at 70 mm free working distance) \nouterØ: 114 mm / innerØ: 66 mm / height: 24 mm \n \n \n40 high brightness LEDs \nca. 5,600K \n5 mm … 15 mm \n130 klx (at 10 mm free working distance) \nouterØ: 118 mm / innerØ: M76x1 / height: 14 mm \n \n \n80 SMD LEDs \nca. 5,600K \n50 mm \n8,000 cd/m2 \nØ: 84 mm / height: 15 mm \n \n \n73.5/153 x 110 x 40 mm \ndimmable 0% … 100% \n24 V DC \n85 – 264 V \n50 – 60 Hz\nRinglight S80-55 \nDiodes \nColor temperature \nWorking distance \nMax. illuminance \nDimensions \nRinglight S80-25 \nDiodes \nColor temperature \nWorking distance \nMax. illuminance \nDimensions \nRinglight S40-55 \nDiodes \nColor temperature \nWorking distance \nMax. illuminance \nDimensions \nRinglight S40-10D \nDiodes \nColor temperature \nWorking distance \nMax. illuminance \nDimensions \nTransmitted light stage brightfield \nDiodes \nColor temperature \nIlluminated surface \nMax. luminance \nDimensions \nController MC 750 / MC 1500 \nDimensions \nLight setting \nSupply voltage \nInput voltage \nMains frequency\n
