The compact backlight unit includes a power adapter and works with most Dino-Lite models except long working distance versions.

Dino-Lite Backlight Illuminator BL-CDW

The Dino-Lite BL-CDW enhances visual inspection by transmitting light through a specimen from below using brightfield or darkfield illumination. Brightfield shows internal form and structure, while darkfield accentuates profiles and edges of samples on a black background, making it useful for biological specimens, minerals, crystals, and more.
