Description
Cold light source is a laboratory illumination unit built around a halogen mirror lamp rated at 8 volt and 20 watt, intended for optical work that benefits from directed cold light. Supplied as 1 pc and weighing 2,800 kg, the instrument belongs to the optical instruments and lamps category and is grouped with cold light sources used across microscopy, inspection, and general lab optical setups. Stable halogen illumination supports sample viewing and instrument coupling where heat load at the specimen must remain controlled relative to conventional open lamps. The cold light source is available from manufacturer Krüss and is delivered as a single complete unit for straightforward integration into existing optical benches or accessory rails. Laboratories select this format when a dedicated 8 V / 20 W halogen mirror lamp source is required for routine optical tasks, teaching demonstrations, or instrument illumination without building a custom lamp housing. Its defined electrical rating and single-piece pack size simplify specification, replacement planning, and inventory control within shared optical instrument pools.

Questions about Cold light source, halogen mirror lamp 8 volt, 20 watt, 1 unit(s)
What is this article?
Cold light source, halogen mirror lamp 8 volt, 20 watt, 1 unit(s) is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Krüss for laboratory use. It sits in Cold light sources & lighting, inside Microscopy & histology, in Instruments de précision.
A cold light keeps the heat of the lamp away from a living or a melting specimen, usually by a fibre light guide. It is the illuminator for a stereo microscope. Colour temperature matters when the image is photographed. A hot lamp over a dissection dries the sample.
A light microscope forms an image with glass lenses and transmitted or reflected light. A stereo microscope is the lower-magnification instrument for dissecting and for looking at a surface. Fluorescence needs a light source and filters matched to the dye. Histology is the preparation that makes a tissue readable: fixation, a cassette, a section, a stain. The objective's magnification and numerical aperture decide the resolution. The slide and the cover glass decide whether the section sits in the focal plane. Stains and dyes as substances are identified on PubChem. Papers on the methods are on PubMed.
