What it does

Bifurcated Fiber Illuminator

Dual flexible fiber arms deliver directional incident light from two sides. Ideal when you need raking light to
make burrs, scratches, edges, or stamped marks stand out.

Independent aim per arm for left/right shadow control
High-intensity, cool-at-the-part lighting (heat stays at the light source)
Great for reflective or curved surfaces where single-source glare is a problem

Requires a compatible fiber-optic light source (illuminator box), supplied separately.

LED Variable Ring Light

Even, shadow-free lighting around the objective with dimmable brightness for quick exposure control.
Excellent for documentation, general inspection, and shiny parts when you want clean, repeatable results.

Uniform 360° illumination—minimizes specular hotspots
Fast brightness adjustment; flicker-free for cameras
Keeps working distance clear—no stands or arms in the way

Mounts to the objective/front of the nosepiece. Verify ring diameter for your TM configuration.

LED Circular Illumination

Compact LED ring unit that provides a consistent, uniform light field for everyday incident illumination.
A simple, reliable choice when you need “set-and-forget” even lighting.

Shadow-reducing 360° light pattern for clear edge definition
Low power draw, long LED life, minimal heat at the part
Pairs well with transmitted backlight for silhouette + surface views

Controller/power lead included on most kits; check contents and mounting size for your system.

Guidance: Use the bifurcated fiber setup when you want adjustable, directional highlights to reveal texture/defects.
Choose a ring light (LED Variable or Circular) when you need fast, uniform illumination for measurement and imaging.
For dimensional edges, combine incident lighting with a transmitted backlight on the TM stage.
