SCHOTT A08410 Single Rigid Gooseneck 30" Fiber Optic Light Guide (Black)

The SCHOTT A08410 is a single-leg (1-branch) semi-rigid gooseneck fiber optic light guide built for SCHOTT ACE and DCR series light sources (compatible with A20990 / A20980 listed on this product page). It delivers controllable, directional illumination for microscopy and inspection tasks where you need to aim light precisely and maintain stable geometry at the bench.

Compatibility note: Compatible with SCHOTT ACE and DCR Series (A20990 / A20980) and not with KL Series. Confirm your light source family before ordering.

SCHOTT A08410 Features
  • Made with black dekabon semi-rigid gooseneck tubing
  • Standard output ferrules accept spot lenses with or without polarizing caps
  • Designed for incident illumination in space-constrained inspection setups
Why teams choose the A08410
  • Precise positioning: complete control of light placement for contrast tuning
  • Stable geometry: semi-rigid gooseneck helps illumination stay where you set it
  • Simple adjustments: reposition quickly when switching parts, fixtures, or inspection steps
Common Pairing (Compatible Light Sources)
About the Manufacturer: 

SCHOTT is a multinational, technology-based group known for specialty glass, advanced materials, and precision components used across industrial inspection, electronics, life science, and microscopy workflows. SCHOTT’s modular illumination ecosystem pairs dedicated light sources with interchangeable light guides (goosenecks, flexible guides, and ringlights) so teams can standardize illumination geometry and maintain repeatable inspection conditions.

The Technical Vault: SCHOTT A08410 Single Rigid Gooseneck 30" (Black)

Vault purpose: How a single gooseneck controls contrast, what to standardize for repeatability, and how to avoid the most common compatibility mistake (ACE/DCR vs KL).

1) What the A08410 is (and what it is not)

The SCHOTT A08410 is a single rigid/semi-rigid gooseneck fiber optic light guide with a 30" (762 mm) length. It is listed as compatible with ACE and DCR Series light sources (A20990 / A20980) and explicitly not compatible with KL Series. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

2) Contrast control: angle and distance beat “more brightness”

In many inspection tasks, defect visibility is governed by illumination geometry:

  • Low-angle (raking) illumination: emphasizes scratches, edge chips, haze, films, residue, and texture.
  • Higher angles: reduce shadows and hotspots but can wash out fine texture.
  • Shorter distances: increase intensity at the target but can increase glare/hotspots.
3) Repeatability checklist (what to standardize)
  • Clock position: define the gooseneck orientation relative to the part/fixture.
  • Tip-to-part distance: define and maintain a target range.
  • Source setpoint: record the intensity used for inspection pass/fail decisions.
  • Reference photo: store a baseline image to retrain and reset after maintenance.

Practical tip: Add witness marks on the fixture and a simple “approved geometry” callout in the work instruction so operators can re-set quickly.

4) What the published dimensions mean at the bench
  • Distal ferrule Ø 5 mm: output end sizing; listed as accepting spot lenses with/without polarizing caps.
  • Active input fiber Ø 10 mm: the input bundle diameter interface called out on the product page.
  • Gooseneck tubing Ø 12 mm: mechanical stiffness and handling feel.
  • 30" (762 mm) length: supports longer reach to the work zone while keeping the source remote.

These specs are published on the SOSCleanroom listing. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

5) Compatibility guardrail (avoid rework)

The #1 ordering error for SCHOTT light guides is mixing families. This product page states: ACE and DCR Series (A20990 / A20980) and Not with KL Series. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

  • If you are using KL-series sources (KL 1500 / KL 1600 / KL 2500), choose KL-series guides (example: 154.101).
  • If you are using ACE/DCR/MC-LS style sources, use A08xxx / compatible light guides and accessories.
6) Source basis (spec traceability)
  • SOSCleanroom listing: SCHOTT A08410 product page (SKU A08410, availability 7–10 business days, weight 2.00 lbs, quantity 1, compatibility ACE/DCR (A20990/A20980), and published features/specifications including tubing color, diameters, and length). :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
