The Schott A08051.40 Single Flexible Light Guide is a large-diameter precision fiber optic light guide engineered for high-efficiency light transmission in microscopy, inspection, and industrial illumination applications — featuring a 13mm active input fiber diameter and a 40" (1016mm) bundle length for maximum light throughput and flexible, reach-anywhere positioning. 💡 13mm (0.51") active input fiber diameter — large-diameter bundle for maximum light collection and throughput from Schott KL series and ColdVision cold light sources 📏 40" (1016mm) bundle length for flexible positioning between light source and specimen without compromising transmission efficiency 🔌 16mm (0.625") distal ferrule with 19mm (0.75") PVC-covered metal tubing sheathing — robust construction with tight bending radius for easy routing 🌈 Standard input accepts dichroic color filters, diffusers, and ColdVision series light sources; standard output ferrule accepts spot lenses and polarizing caps 🇩🇪 Schott quality, made in Germany — black anodized aluminum bundle input, precision fiber optic construction for consistent, high-efficiency light transmission ✅ Condition: New — part number A08051.40 🔧 Product Description The Schott A08051.40 is a large-diameter single flexible fiber optic light guide from Schott's professional ColdVision illumination accessory line. With a 13mm active input fiber diameter — significantly larger than the 8mm A08031.40 — the A08051.40 collects substantially more light from the source, making it the right choice for applications requiring maximum light delivery at the specimen, such as high-magnification imaging, large-area illumination, or long light guide runs where light loss is a concern. The flexible bundle construction with PVC-covered metal tubing sheathing allows the guide to be routed and positioned freely with a tight bending radius, without kinking or light loss. At 40 inches (1016mm), the bundle length provides ample reach for most stereo microscope, inspection, and industrial illumination setups. The standard input accepts Schott dichroic color filters and diffusers in addition to ColdVision series light sources, and the standard output ferrule accepts spot lenses and polarizing caps for specialized illumination configurations. The black anodized aluminum bundle input provides a durable, professional connection interface. Supplied new from stock, part number A08051.40. 🔎 Typical Applications High-intensity stereo microscope fiber optic illumination requiring maximum light throughput Large-area specimen illumination where maximum brightness is critical Long light guide runs where a larger input diameter compensates for transmission losses Industrial and laboratory inspection lighting with color filter or diffuser accessories Polarized light illumination with polarizing cap output accessory Replacement or upgrade light guide for Schott KL series and ColdVision systems 📊 Key Specifications Specification Details Part Number A08051.40 Type Single flexible fiber optic light guide Active Input Fiber Diameter 0.51" (13mm) Distal Ferrule Diameter 0.625" (16mm) Tubing Diameter 0.75" (19mm) Bundle Length 40" (1016mm) Bundle Input Black anodized aluminum Bundle Sheathing PVC-covered metal tubing Input Accessories Dichroic color filters, diffusers, ColdVision series light sources Output Accessories Spot lenses, polarizing caps Country of Origin Germany Condition New SKU A08501.40 Weight 2 lbs University and institutional purchase orders are welcome.
