Polarized ring light
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 11/1/2006
The RL-9, high-output LED ring light from Orled now includes a polarizing option that diminishes glare from reflective objects, such as the solder beads on assembled circuit boards. Light from the LEDs passes through a polarizing film before illuminating the object being inspected. The light bounces off the object and passes back through an analyzer in the ring light before arriving at the eye of an operator or the lens of a camera. Rotating the ring at the center of the light aligns the analyzer with the polarizer. Orled says the polarizing feature produces an image with less glare and more contrast. Price: $615.
