Titan Tool Supply Inc.’s Model TR.L1, a 16-LED Ring Illuminator accessory, is designed to streamline industrial microscopy workflows.
Compatible with Titan Tool Supply CS Centering Microscopes, Modular Toolscopes, and similar models, the accessory features aluminum construction for durability. Its 360-degree shadow-free illumination provides consistent lighting while eliminating obstructive shadows, making it especially useful for detailed examinations and precision work. The flicker-free light source ensures incident illumination and reduced eye strain during extended use.
The integrated brightness controller simplifies operation with adjustable brightness (0-100%) and an onboard memory function. The 24V DC 1A output power, universal power input and global plug compatibility ensure ease of use in diverse locations, the company says. The TR.L1's ring dimensions, weight and working distance specifications are considered for various microscopy setups.
The variable clamping diameter, adjustable with a reducing ring, facilitates integration with existing microscope setups and in-house equipment.
Typical applications for the Illuminator include manufacturing QA inspections, material analysis, electronic components inspection, medical device manufacturing, micro-assembly, pharmaceutical research, forensic investigations and metallurgical examinations.
