LED Illumination
Modern LED illumination brings bright, stable light to the microscope — and an economical, energy-efficient upgrade from conventional halogen lamps. Clemex supplies the Märzhäuser LED illumination source, a compact light source that integrates into existing microscope systems and is controlled via the Märzhäuser TANGO controller or an external control unit.
A stable, long-life light source
The Märzhäuser LED light source is a compact unit that can replace conventional halogen lighting on a microscope, integrating into an existing setup and controlled by the TANGO controller or an external control unit.
Compared with halogen, LED illumination offers well-known practical advantages: a much longer service life, a stable colour temperature that does not shift as you adjust brightness, and lower heat output near the sample. Those qualities make it a low-maintenance, consistent light source for a broad range of microscopy applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is this LED illumination for?
It is a compact LED light source for microscopes, usable as an upgrade that replaces conventional halogen lighting with brighter, more stable illumination.
How is it controlled?
Via the Märzhäuser TANGO controller or an external control unit, so illumination can be adjusted as part of your setup.
Why choose LED over halogen?
LED offers a longer lamp life, a stable colour temperature, lower heat output near the sample and consistent brightness compared with halogen — with less maintenance.
Does adjusting brightness change the colour of the light?
With an LED source the colour temperature stays stable as intensity is adjusted, unlike halogen, where dimming shifts the light warmer.
Can it be added to an existing microscope?
Yes. It is designed to integrate into existing microscope systems. Our specialists confirm the right configuration for your setup.
