Motic offers a wide range of illumination options to be combined with the SMZ-161 optics. The built-in illumination of the basic stands provides the most compact solution with small footprint for easy storage. Especially for biological samples, Motic recommends its LED versions due to a negligible heat development and minimized impact on living specimens. However, for more demanding applications, a more powerful illumination may be necessary.
A ring light solution always is recommended for a shadow-free image as the sample is illuminated from all directions. A segmentable ring light gives additional flexibility for an unilateral illumination.
