Reliable microscope lighting is essential for accurate quality inspection, streamlined assembly, and advanced R&D efforts. Beyond flicker-free focused illumination, compliance plays a vital role in life science applications globally.
For a decade, the SlimLine Ring Illuminator product line has been affixed with the CE mark to meet stringent requirements in European markets. SlimLine is a 40 LED ring light with a 66mm inside diameter that delivers consistent, high‑quality illumination for microscopes.
“Products such as TechniQuip’s SlimLine 40 LED ring light are required to perform everyday microscope-assisted tasks such as assembly, inspections, and research. Now, with the completion of our CE Testing and Certification, European Economic Area users have access to these products,” said David Wensley, TechniQuip’s President and CEO.
How SlimLine was Designed with CE Compliance in Mind
Featuring an advanced LED controller with a proprietary constant current design, the SlimLine Series was designed to align with CE standards of electrical safety, photobiological safety, and electromagnetic compatibility.
Similar to the FCC Declaration of Conformity used on certain electronic devices sold in the United States, the CE marking is the manufacturer’s declaration that SlimLine meets the requirements of the applicable EC directives.
The SlimLine Series was certified to conform to the key CE requirements, including:
- EN/IEC 62471 – Photo-biological Safety of Lamps and Lamp Systems
- EC 61010-1:2010 – Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment
- IEC 61326-1: 2012 – Emissions: CISPR 11, IEC 61000-3-2, IEC 61000-3-3
Manufactured in TechniQuip’s own Pleasanton, California factory, SlimLine is backed by our service and warranty policy that has made TechniQuip the first choice for OEM’s, laboratories, and other life science applications.
SlimLine is built for everyday microscope use, featuring key benefits including:
