See What Conventional Lighting Misses

Flat, uniform lighting can hide the very defects inspectors are looking for. VisiDark uses low-angle grazing illumination to cast controlled shadows across the sample, turning micro-scratches, deposits and subtle surface relief into clearly visible defect signatures—even when brightfield lighting shows nothing unusual.

Darkfield Microscope Lighting That Reveals More

Grazing illumination icon

Low-angle light emphasizes surface relief, contours and discontinuities that remain hidden under conventional top lighting.

Enhanced defect contrast icon

Directional LuxiBright® illumination makes scratches, edges, deposits and fine irregularities easier to identify.

Ultra-uniform light icon

Consistent distribution supports reliable defect visibility across the complete inspected area.

Adjustable intensity icon

Integrated dimming from 0 to 100% allows operators to precisely adapt contrast to every sample and material.

Designed for Darkfield and Grazing Inspection

VisiDark mounts directly around the objective of a stereo microscope, projecting adjustable low-angle grazing light onto the sample. Its compact ring format and flexible cable support easy integration into darkfield and grazing inspection setups while preserving access to the sample and microscope controls.

One Darkfield Light, Multiple Surface Inspection Challenges

VisiDark adapts to transparent, opaque, reflective and matte materials across demanding inspection environments, from precision mechanics and watchmaking to electronics and laboratory research.

VisiDark - Darkfield Microscopy Inspection

01

Watchmaking & Precision Components

Reveal micro-scratches, edge defects, deposits and finishing irregularities on delicate components.

02

Electronics & Microtechnology

Detect coating defects, contamination and fine surface irregularities on electronic assemblies.

03

Metallurgy, Medical & Laboratory

Enhance contours, texture and subtle material discontinuities during detailed examination.

Designed for Focused, Comfortable Inspection

High-contrast visibility without heat at the sample or distracting stray reflections.

No Heat at the Sample

The lighting head generates no heat, helping protect sensitive samples and preserve stable observation conditions.

Reduced Stray Reflections

Controlled directional illumination limits parasitic reflections on complex and reflective materials.

Faster Defect Detection

High-contrast grazing light makes subtle surface information easier to recognize and evaluate.

Darkfield and Brightfield. Better Together.

Combine VisiDark and VisiBright to reveal both complete structures and the finest surface irregularities. VisiDark provides grazing light for scratches, edges, deposits and subtle surface defects, while VisiBright delivers uniform brightfield illumination for clear general observation and accurate colour rendering.

Application Note

Same sample, different light. Discover how changing the illumination angle reveals micro-scratches, deposits and subtle relief that can remain hidden under conventional brightfield lighting.
