Pros & Cons

Pros

  • 144 LEDs in two independently controlled rings — dial in the exact illumination angle
  • Fits any microscope with standard 48mm thread size
  • Dramatically improves image quality on metallic or reflective specimens
  • Separate brightness controls for inner and outer ring enable oblique lighting
  • Metal construction — no plastic flexing or wobble

Cons

  • Inner ring diameter may not fit all consumer USB microscopes without adapter
  • No color temperature adjustment — pure white LEDs only
