The Blue-X-Lite is an entry-level professional flicker-free lighting solution for DIC. Short wave length, small bandwidth, pulse mode, focusable.

• The Blue-X-Lite can be used in con­tin­u­ous wave mode (CW) or in pulsed mode (Pulse) with 20 W. Due to its fast rise times < 100 ns in com­bi­na­tion with spe­cial trig­ger unit it is also suit­able for syn­chro­niza­tion with DIC sys­tems with stro­bo­scop­ic illumination.
• Light inten­si­ty can be con­trolled step­less up to  60% light inten­si­ty for con­tin­u­ous wave mode (CW) and 100% light inten­si­ty for pulse mode (Pulse).
• Frame rates: Two ver­sions are avail­able with trig­ger fre­quen­cy up to 1,000 Hz or 10,000 Hz.
• The Blue-X-Lite can be eas­i­ly attached direct­ly to the stereo bar by flex­i­ble arms for indi­vid­ual adjust­ment of the light direction.
  The fan­less design offers the advan­tage of no vibra­tions trans­mit­ted to the stereo bar.
• Mount­ing: 1/4″, 3/8” and M6 threads for tri­pod or flex­i­ble mount­ing arms (bot­tom). M4 threads (front) for mount­ing to VIC-Pro­fes­sion­al fine adjust­ment cam­era mounts.

The new LED light source with 80W up to 120Hz and 1μs flash period

The Blue-X-Focus is a powerful LED light source, especially designed by isi-sys for digital image correlation:

• The short, sin­gle wave length (blue) improves the opti­cal trans­fer func­tion prop­er­ties espe­cial­ly a) at the image board­ers for con­ven­tion­al lens­es and b) for high res­o­lu­tion, small FOV set-ups such as the Micro 3D stereo sensor.
• The pulse mode reduces motion blur and max­i­mizes light pow­er at low­est pos­si­ble heat­ing of the object surface
• Large beam expan­sion range from 3,2° to 60° for small to large field of view. Oper­a­tion through small windows
• A polar­iza­tion-fil­ter (option­al) is sup­press­ing direct reflec­tions in com­bi­na­tion with a sec­ond pair for the sensors
• The short wave­length can be used in com­bi­na­tion with band­pass fil­ters for mea­sur­ing on hot samples

Further details:

• Pow­er: Stan­dard oper­a­tion with 80W in con­tin­u­ous mode or 120W for pulse mode depend­ing on duty cycle. Exam­ple for 0,7 duty cycle: 105W @ 240Hz and 2,9ms flash peri­od. Pow­er adjustable man­u­al­ly or exter­nal by pulse length and fre­quen­cy as well as auto­mat­i­cal­ly lim­it­ed depend­ing on temperature.
• The focus­ing adapter for stan­dard DIC is from 5° to 60° expan­sion. The ver­sion for small FOV is adjustable from 3,2° to 4,7° expan­sion cor­re­spond­ing to e. g. 5mm x 3mm at 53mm WD or 300mm x 140mm at 1800mm WD (work­ing distance)
• Mount­ing is pos­si­ble hor­i­zon­tal or ver­ti­cal via M6 or ¼” threads
• The cool­ing air stream is direct­ed from the front inlet to the back­side to avoid hot air waves in the images.Power: Stan­dard oper­a­tion with 80W in con­tin­u­ous mode or 120W for pulse mode depend­ing on duty cycle. Exam­ple for 0,7 duty cycle: 105W @ 240Hz and 2,9ms flash period.
