Metal Halide Microscope Replacement Bulbs

High-intensity, daylight-quality lamps for fluorescence and critical imaging systems.

Metal halide lamps are widely used in microscopy—especially fluorescence imaging—because they deliver very bright output with strong color quality, helping produce consistent illumination for detection, contrast, and repeatability. Many microscope illumination systems use a metal halide arc lamp in a reflector assembly and couple the light into a liquid light guide for efficient delivery into the microscope’s optical path.

These are not general lighting bulbs. Metal halide microscope lamps are equipment-specific, and correct replacement depends on matching the exact model/part number, wattage, base/connector, and optical geometry specified by the illuminator manufacturer. Leading specialty lamp manufacturers such as Ushio provide metal halide solutions for scientific/medical equipment, including lines designed for consistent performance in critical procedures.
