Schott A08920 Fiber Optic Backlight 2" x 2"

The Schott A08920 is a 2" × 2" fiber optic backlight from Schott's professional machine vision illumination line, engineered for applications requiring precise, uniform transmitted light. Each unit is factory calibrated using a patented process to within ±13–15 gray scale levels at a mean of 200 (gamma 1.0), ensuring consistent, repeatable illumination performance for quantitative imaging and inspection. The white acrylic diffuser plate delivers the optimum combination of uniformity and intensity across the active area, while the included protective IR filter prevents heat-related damage to specimens and optical components. The compact, low-profile anodized aluminum housing fits in tight spaces and integrates easily into automated inspection fixtures and machine vision systems. The plastic fiber bundle is protected by flexible PVC-covered metal tubing for durability in industrial environments. The backlight can be configured to produce crisp edge definition for silhouette imaging or soft, diffuse incident light for surface illumination — making it versatile across a wide range of inspection and imaging tasks. Dual and quad backlight configurations are available, and custom sizes can be ordered. Intended for use with strobes and Schott ColdVision series light sources; sources without an IR filter may damage the plastic fibers. This unit is a demo unit in excellent condition, offered at significant savings vs. new.
