Schott A08400 Single Gooseneck Fiber Optic Light Guide 18"

The Schott A08400 Single Gooseneck Fiber Optic Light Guide (18") is a precision flex-and-stay single-arm gooseneck light guide designed for Schott KL series and ColdVision cold light sources — delivering directed, focused cold light illumination with an 18-inch gooseneck arm that holds its position precisely after adjustment for consistent, repeatable specimen lighting.

• 💡 18" (457mm) flex-and-stay gooseneck arm — holds its position precisely after adjustment without drift, enabling repeatable illumination setups across extended work sessions
• 🎯 Single-arm directed illumination for focused, targeted cold light delivery to a specific area of the specimen or work surface
• 🔌 Compatible with Schott KL series and ColdVision cold light sources via standard M6-threaded connection for integration with weighted bases, articulated arms, and stands
• ❄️ Cold light (IR-free) illumination — no heat at the specimen, protecting heat-sensitive biological specimens, materials, and components
• 🇩🇪 Schott quality, made in Germany — precision fiber optic construction for consistent, high-efficiency light transmission and long service life
• ✅ New — part number A08400

🔧 Product Description

The Schott A08400 is an 18-inch single gooseneck fiber optic light guide — the workhorse single-arm illumination accessory for Schott KL series and ColdVision cold light source systems. The flex-and-stay gooseneck construction allows the arm to be bent and positioned freely in three dimensions, then holds its position precisely without drift — ensuring the illumination angle and intensity at the specimen remain consistent throughout the work session without constant readjustment. The single-arm configuration delivers directed, focused cold light to a specific area, making it ideal for targeted specimen illumination in stereo microscopy, dissection, inspection, and precision assembly. The standard M6-threaded connection integrates with Schott weighted bases (158.340), articulated arms (A08506), and standard M6 laboratory stands for flexible mounting configurations. Cold light output protects heat-sensitive biological specimens, materials, and electronic components from IR heat damage during extended illumination. Supplied new from stock, part number A08400.

🔎 Typical Applications

• Stereo microscope single-arm directed fiber optic illumination
• Biological dissection and specimen preparation with targeted cold light
• Industrial and laboratory inspection with focused single-point illumination
• Precision assembly, rework, and soldering illumination
• Supplemental illumination alongside a ringlight or second gooseneck arm
• Freestanding illumination on Schott 158.340 weighted base or M6 laboratory stand
