(KL 300 Only) SCHOTT 170.202 Double Gooseneck Light Guide — Directional Dual-Branch Illumination

The SCHOTT 170.202 is a dual (2-branch) gooseneck fiber optic light guide engineered for SCHOTT KL 300 light sources. Dual goosenecks are used when you want precise directional lighting and repeatable contrast for microscopy, inspection, and imaging—without moving the microscope or the part.

Accessory note: This is a light guide (fiber optic). It does not generate light by itself and must be connected to a compatible KL 300 light source.

Specifications:
  • Manufacturer: SCHOTT
  • Part number / SKU: 170.202
  • Compatibility: KL 300 Only
  • Type: Double gooseneck (2-branch) light guide
  • Quantity option: 1 Light Guide
  • Availability: 2–3 Weeks
  • Weight: 2.00 lbs
  • Use case: Directional, aimable illumination for microscopy and precision inspection
SCHOTT 170.202 Features
  • Dual gooseneck aiming: position two outputs to shape contrast across the field of view
  • “Rake + fill” capability: one branch can emphasize defects while the other stabilizes exposure
  • KL 300 dedicated interface: built for KL 300 light sources and KL 300 workstation builds
Why teams choose a dual gooseneck guide
  • Contrast control: adjust incidence angles to reveal scratches, haze, chips, films, or residue (application-dependent)
  • Repeatability: once geometry is set, the station can be standardized across operators and shifts
  • Reduced station disruption: aim the light instead of moving parts, fixtures, or optics

About the Manufacturer: 

SCHOTT is a multinational technology group recognized for specialty glass, advanced materials, and precision optical components used across industrial inspection, microscopy, electronics, and life-science workflows. In workstation illumination, SCHOTT’s modular approach pairs dedicated light sources with interchangeable light guides so teams can standardize lighting geometry and maintain repeatable inspection conditions.

Related KL 300 Light Guides & Alternatives

Notes: For standardized inspection, document (1) branch angles, (2) tip-to-part distance, and (3) the KL 300 output setpoint used for evaluation. This reduces drift across operators and shifts.

The Technical Vault: SCHOTT 170.202 Dual Gooseneck Light Guide (KL 300 Only)

Vault purpose: How dual goosenecks shape contrast, how to lock geometry for repeatability, and what to standardize so inspections don’t drift.

1) What the 170.202 is

The SCHOTT 170.202 is a 2-branch gooseneck fiber optic light guide designed for KL 300 light sources. It splits output into two aimable branches so you can create directional illumination at a microscope or inspection station without relocating the light source. ([soscleanroom.com](https://www.soscleanroom.com/product/illuminators/kl-300-only-schott-170-202-double-gooseneck-light-guide/))

2) The default method: “rake + fill”
  • Raking branch: set low incidence angle to amplify surface features (scratches, haze, films, edge chips).
  • Fill branch: set higher angle to stabilize exposure and reduce hard shadows.
  • Opposed angles: use opposing directions when you need more uniformity without losing all texture.
3) Repeatability controls (what to document)

If inspection outcomes matter, treat illumination as a controlled input. Standardize these:

  • Tip-to-part distance: define a target range (and verify clearance).
  • Branch “clock positions”: record positions relative to the part (e.g., 10 o’clock + 2 o’clock).
  • KL 300 output setpoint: record the intensity used for pass/fail decisions.
  • Reference images: store a “golden sample” image for baseline glare/contrast.

Simple but effective: add witness marks on mounts/fixtures and on each branch so approved geometry can be reset after cleaning.

4) When to choose dual gooseneck vs dual flexible vs ringlight
  • Dual gooseneck (170.202): best when you want “stays where you put it” aiming with quick adjustments.
  • Dual flexible (171.202): best when you need routing around fixtures and frequent repositioning over a larger reach.
  • Ringlight: best for uniform, low-shadow illumination and minimizing operator aiming variability.

Compare: 171.202 Dual Flexible (KL 300), 157.410 Ringlight 58mm.
