Standard Light Kit - Blue

The custom-designed CSI LED light kit is now available in blue:

The CSI 1050 LED Light Kit is available in blue. This high-quality LED lighting system is very effective for low-speed applications that require monochromatic light, such as for high-temperature, high-magnification, or high-resolution imaging. It features two cool blue LED units each contained within a compact enclosure with multi-function positioning arms perfect for lighting objects in fairly tight places or through chamber windows. Each LED light offers a very diffuse illumination up to a diameter of approximately 36” and includes an interchangeable linear polarizer for additional reflection reduction. Blue lens filters should be applied when imaging high-temperature with this exceptional low-cost lighting system.

Blue - x- Focus

The Blue-X-Focus is a powerful LED light source custom designed for digital image correlation.

The Blue-X-Focus light is a new addition to the VIC product line. This custom-designed light source is extremely powerful and ideal for high-magnification applications, high-temperature applications, or when monochromatic light is required. The Blue-X-Focus comes standard with the Micro-DIC system, and effectively improves image quality over standard daylight LED systems. The lighting system is available with any VIC system or as a stand-alone lighting solution. Below are the features of this powerful accessory.

• The pulse mode reduces motion blur and maximizes light power at the lowest possible heating of the object's surface

• Large beam expansion range from 3.2° to 60° for small to large field of view. Operation through small windows

• A polarization filter (optional) is suppressing direct reflections in combination with a second pair for the sensors

• The short wavelength can be used in combination with bandpass filters for measuring hot samples

• Power: Standard operation with 80 W in continuous mode or 120 W for pulse mode depending on duty cycle. Power is adjustable manually or externally by pulse length and frequency as well as automatically limited depending on temperature.

• The focusing adapter for standard DIC is from 5° to 60° expansion. The version for small FOV is adjustable from 3.2° to 4.7° expansion corresponding to e. g. 5 mm x 3 mm at 53 mm WD or 300 mm x 140 mm at 1800 mm WD (working distance)

• Mounting is possible horizontal or vertical via M6 or ¼” threads

• The cooling air stream is directed from the front inlet to the backside to avoid hot airwaves in the images.
