Light Guide (Single)
Focused fiber optic illumination for precision inspection, microscopy, and cleanroom workstations.
Fiber Optic Single Gooseneck Spot / Flood Options Inspection & QA
Single fiber optic light guides deliver controlled, directional illumination from a remote light source to the exact inspection point. This is ideal when you need bright light without placing heat or electronics directly over the work area, and when you want to adjust angle, distance, and beam shape for repeatable results.
Why cleanrooms use single light guides
- Targeted illumination: place light at a shallow angle to reveal scratches, haze, film defects, or residue.
- Less heat at the part: move the light source away from sensitive samples, optics, adhesives, and polymers.
- Better operator control: quickly reposition the gooseneck for spot inspection, edge checks, or documentation photos.
- Repeatable inspection: consistent beam geometry supports standard work instructions and QA acceptance criteria.
WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN SELECTING A SINGLE LIGHT GUIDE
- Connector compatibility: confirm the guide interface matches your illuminator/light source brand and model.
- Diameter and length: affects output, routing, and reach into hoods, benches, or enclosures.
- End fittings: choose spot, line, or flood tips to suit surface vs. edge inspection.
- Cleanroom handling: select durable jacketing and strain relief for frequent repositioning and wipe-down practices.
