Meiji PKL-2 Pole Stand with Incident & Transmitted LED Lighting
The Meiji PKL-2 Pole Stand is a fully integrated microscope platform combining a wide, ergonomic pole stand with both incident (top) and transmitted (bottom) LED illumination. This configuration is designed for cleanroom and controlled-environment inspection where consistent lighting, reduced setup variability, and repeatable viewing conditions are critical to inspection accuracy and contamination control.

By integrating illumination directly into the stand, the PKL-2 minimizes external lighting hardware, cable clutter, and ad-hoc positioning—helping facilities maintain cleaner workstations and more repeatable inspection outcomes.
Published configuration (PKL-2)
  • Stand style: Wide ergonomic pole-type microscope stand
  • Focus holder: Meiji “F” focusing holder (mounted)
  • Pole height: Extended pole for increased vertical clearance
  • Illumination (incident): Integrated LED top lighting
  • Illumination (transmitted): Integrated LED bottom lighting
  • Stage plate: Reversible black/white contrast plate
  • Stage clips: Included
  • Base design: Wide, weighted base for vibration control
  • Intended environments: Cleanroom, laboratory, electronics, medical device, precision manufacturing
Why integrated lighting matters
Integrated illumination ensures consistent lighting geometry every time the station is used. This reduces inspection variability between operators and shifts, improves defect visibility, and limits unnecessary handling caused by repeated light repositioning.

Texwipe cleaning & optical care
Gloves and garments to reduce handling contamination
Practical use guidance
  • Set illumination intensity and contrast plate orientation before introducing product.
  • Use transmitted light for edge detection and transparent samples; incident light for surface features.
  • Wipe lighting controls, base, and focus knobs as routine touch points.
  • Keep lighting configuration consistent to support repeatable inspection criteria.

The Technical Vault Integrated Illumination & Stand Design in Cleanroom Microscopy
Lighting is part of the inspection system
In cleanroom microscopy, lighting is not an accessory—it is a control variable. Differences in illumination angle, intensity, or placement can change defect visibility and inspection outcomes. Integrated lighting systems like the PKL-2 reduce this variability by fixing illumination geometry into the stand itself.
Incident vs. transmitted illumination
  • Incident (top) lighting: Highlights surface texture, scratches, residues, and assembly defects.
  • Transmitted (bottom) lighting: Enhances edge definition, internal features, and transparent or semi-transparent samples.
Having both illumination modes permanently available allows operators to switch techniques without reconfiguring the workstation—reducing handling and inspection time.
Contamination-control benefits of integration
External lights add cables, mounts, and adjustment points—each a potential contamination and handling risk. Integrated LED systems reduce exposed surfaces, simplify cleaning, and help facilities maintain a more disciplined inspection station layout.
Cleanroom reality check
The goal is not “more light,” but “repeatable light.” Integrated illumination supports inspection consistency, which is often more valuable than higher brightness alone.
Cleaning and maintenance considerations
  • Include lighting housings and controls in routine wipe-down SOPs.
  • Use optical-grade swabs for LED lenses and windows.
  • Avoid spraying liquids directly onto lighting assemblies.
  • Verify illumination consistency as part of inspection station qualification.
SOSCleanroom technical perspective
Integrated microscope systems simplify compliance. SOSCleanroom supports these platforms with Meiji hardware, Texwipe cleaning products, and cleanroom PPE to help customers build inspection stations that are stable, repeatable, and easier to maintain over time.
