Accessories for Collimated LED Light Sources

Accessories for Mightex collimated LED light sources comprise dedicated focusing modules and interchangeable collimating lenses, lightguide, microscope and fiber-optic adapters, microscope illumination tubes, connector tubes, a thread converter, empty filter/optics holders, a lightguide holder for converting Type-B LCS into Type-B GCS as well as accessories for beam combiners like a push-pull adjustable mount, a 11 mm LCS adapter or connecting plates.

• Six different ACC-LCS-F-xx focusing modules for collimated LED light sources are available, comprising modules for 11 to 48 mm clear-aperture collimated LED light sources with working distances from 5 to 100 mm. For details, please refer to the downloadable “Accessories for Collimated LED Light Sources Overview” and the downloadable installation drawings.

• Eight ACC-LCS-C-xx(-B) additional interchangeable collimating lenses for collimated LED light sources are used to produce different beam sizes with the same LED light source base: Four models with clear apertures of 11, 22, 38 and 48 mm as well as four variants for Type-B light sources. For details, please refer to the downloadable “Accessories for Collimated LED Light Sources Overview”.

• Four different LCS-LGA22-xxx lightguide adapters can be used to couple light from a 22-mm-diameter collimated LED light source into a lightguide. Variants for lightguides with ferrule diameters of 5, 6.35 (1/4”), 7 and 11.1 mm as well as a ferrule length of 15 mm or greater are available. For details, please refer to the downloadable “Accessories for Collimated LED Light Sources Overview” and the downloadable installation drawings.

• Eight different ACC-BC25-xxx microscope adapters allow to connect LCS collimated LED light sources and beam combiners to microscopes. Single LCS light sources as well as LCS-BC25 beam combiners or WLS sources can be connected to microscopes like Leica DMI, Olympus (IX & BX, other), Zeiss Axioskop, Nikon Eclipse, Eclipse E200 and LV-UEPI/2/A. For details, please refer to the downloadable “Accessories for Collimated LED Light Sources Overview”.

• A LCS-FPC-ADP-SMA fiber-optic adapter can be used to couple light from a LCS-Series collimated LED light source (22-mm aperture) into a fiber patchcord and accepts SMA connectorized fiber patchcords.

• Three different ACC-BC25-MIT-xxx microscope illumination tubes allow to couple a beam combiner or LCS-Series collimated LED light source into the infinity optical path of microscopes. The lengths of these microsope illumination tubes are designed for one beam-combiner distance (up to two LCS sources) or two beam-combiner distances (up to four LCS sources). For details, please refer to the downloadable installation drawing.

• Three different ACC-LCS-xxx connector tubes for LCS-Series collimated LED light sources are available, comprising a male-to-male C-mount connector with inner threads, a female-to-female C-mount connector with outer threads and a 15 mm extension tube for 22 mm clear-aperture LCS-Series light sources. For details, please refer to the downloadable “Accessories for Collimated LED Light Sources Overview”

• An ACC-LCS-27C adapter is available for converting M27 thread to C-thread.

• Two different empty filter/optics holders for 22 mm clear-aperture collimated LED light sources are available (ACC-LCS-H-22, ACC-LCS-EH). Both are excitation filter holders for 25.4 mm (1”) diameter filters with up to 5 mm thickness, with ACC-LCS-EH featuring a threaded output end to connect to Mightex LCS-LGA22-xxx lightguide adapters or ACC-BC25-xxx microscope adapters. For details, please refer to the downloadable “Accessories for Collimated LED Light Sources Overview” and the downloadable installation drawing.

• Mightex’s GCS-LGH-B-0515 lightguide holder is used to replace the collimating lens on a Type-B LCS in order to convert it to a Type-B GCS. This holder is suitable for lightguides with a ferrule diameter of 5 mm (typical 3-mm-core lightguides) and a ferrule length of 15 mm or greater.

• Mightex’s ACC-LCS-BC25-PPM push-pull mount for multi-wavelength beam combiners is user-adjustable.

• Currently, Mightex’s multi-wavelength beam combiners can only be used to directly combine 22-mm-diameter collimated LED light sources. For 11-mm-diameter collimated LED light sources, an ACC-BC25-011 mechanical adapter can be used to attach the LED sources to the beam combiners, before the 11-mm-diameter collimated LED sources can be combined.

• Three different ACC-BC25-CP-01/02/03 connecting plates are available to connect two or more multi-wavelength beam combiners together, with four screws included. For details, please refer to the downloadable “Accessories for Collimated LED Light Sources Overview” and the downloadable product overview.
