LGT19DM, a ESD safe diffuse illuminator, creates a diffused and UV-free dome of cool white 6000K-7000K light for imaging specimens which would otherwise suffer from over exposure under standard lighting. Diffused illumination also brings out more surface artifacts and details which wash out under normal conditions, making it ideal for gem classification, QA inspections, PCB repair, jewelry manufacturing and more. In addition, the ring light and power source are ESD-safe and work well in static-free environments where delicate electrical components are being handled.
