Its universal adapter and rheostat control box provide precise, effortless lighting adjustments, powered by a versatile 110V-240V auto-detecting supply. Ideal for labs and professionals working with sensitive specimens, it delivers up to 100,000 hours of reliable, bright LED lighting. ## Description The AmScope LED-144A stereo microscope illumination system has a 144-bulb LED ring light with four separate zones to independently control light intensity and direction. The ring light provides bright, cool light for working with temperature-sensitive or live specimens, and shadow-free illumination. A rheostat controls the amount of light emanating from the lamp. Power and adjustment controls are located on a control box to speed adjustments. The ring has a 2-1/2" (64mm) inside diameter and a 4" (100mm) outside diameter. The light includes an adapter ring for mounting on a stereo microscope head. It has a 100,000-hour life span and a 110V-240V auto-detecting power supply. Microscopes are instruments used to enhance the resolution of an object or image. Types include compound, stereo, or digital. Compound microscopes use a compound optical system with an objective lens and an eyepiece. Stereo microscopes show object depth in a three-dimensional image. Digital microscopes are used to display an image on a monitor, rather than looking through a lens. Microscopes can have monocular (one), binocular (two), or trinocular (three) eyepieces, with varying magnification abilities. Magnification ability refers to the size of an image. Resolution, also known as resolvant power, refers to the clarity of the image. The interaction between field of view (FOV), numerical aperture (NA), and working distance (WD) determines resolution. Microscopes can control magnification through a fixed focus, or through a range of adjustments. They can also utilize LED, fluorescent, and mirror light sources to help control viewing capabilities. Microscopes are widely used in education, lab research, biology, metallurgy, engineering, chemistry, manufacturing, and in the medical, forensic science, and veterinary industries.United Scope manufactures microscopy equipment and accessories under the brand name AmScope. The company, founded in 1996, is headquartered in Irvine, CA.What's in the Box?LED Ring lightControl boxMounting ringPower cord Review: Absolute necessity to use the Amscope microscope effectively - Without a light, you really can't use an Amscope microscope. The view is too dim. With this light, the microscope works perfectly. The light completely illuminates the target under the lens. Money well spent. Review: Works great but short lifetime - Product was used in a metallurgical engineering lab for 2 years before the unit failed. The multi-directional light is ideal for evaluating fracture surfaces, the light control is great, and the price is reasonable. 2-year life while being sparingly used is way too small While looking for a replacement, I noticed similar short life reviews by others. Unfortunately, at least on desertcart, there are no other similar multi-directional light units so I felt compelled to order another unit with the expectation of a low lifetime. For ours anyway, its not the actual ring light but the control box that failed. ## Features - Stereo microscope lighting system with four zones to independently control light intensity and direction - Ring shape provides shadow-free illumination - 144-bulb LED provides cool light for working with temperature-sensitive or live specimens - 110V-240V auto-detecting power supply - Removable rheostat-controlled ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005O2UXWE | | Best Sellers Rank | #2 in Microscope Accessories (Camera & Photo Products) | | Brand | AmScope | | Built-In Media | LED Illuminator Light | | Color | white | | Customer Reviews | 3.5 3.5 out of 5 stars (33) | | Enclosure Material | PE_(Polyethylene) | | Light Source Type | LED | | Manufacturer | United Scope LLC. | | Manufacturer Part Number | LED-144A-YK | | Model Name | LED-144W-ZK | | Model Number | LED-144A-YK | | Objective Lens Description | Achromatic | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Real Angle Of View | 45 Degrees | | UPC | 013964561586 608729747406 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 240 Volts | | Warranty Description | 1 Year Manufacturer | ## Product Details - **Brand:** AmScope - **Color:** white - **Light Source Type:** LED - **Material:** PE_(Polyethylene) - **Model Name:** LED-144W-ZK - **Objective Lens Description:** Achromatic - **Power Source:** Corded Electric - **Real Angle of View:** 45 Degrees - **UPC:** 013964561586 608729747406 - **Voltage:** 240 Volts ## Images ![AmScope LED-144A 144-LED Lighting-Direction-Adjustable Microscope Ring Light with Adapter for Stereo Microscopes - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/611RenF2APL.jpg) ![AmScope LED-144A 144-LED Lighting-Direction-Adjustable Microscope Ring Light with Adapter for Stereo Microscopes - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41SOU2bR61L.jpg) ![AmScope LED-144A 144-LED Lighting-Direction-Adjustable Microscope Ring Light with Adapter for Stereo Microscopes - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/419ql0tY91L.jpg) ![AmScope LED-144A 144-LED Lighting-Direction-Adjustable Microscope Ring Light with Adapter for Stereo Microscopes - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41KUjXQFPcL.jpg) ![AmScope LED-144A 144-LED Lighting-Direction-Adjustable Microscope Ring Light with Adapter for Stereo Microscopes - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71qUNY8tYWL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolute necessity to use the Amscope microscope effectively *by J***R on September 11, 2019* Without a light, you really can't use an Amscope microscope. The view is too dim. With this light, the microscope works perfectly. The light completely illuminates the target under the lens. Money well spent. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Works great but short lifetime *by E***R on August 29, 2025* Product was used in a metallurgical engineering lab for 2 years before the unit failed. The multi-directional light is ideal for evaluating fracture surfaces, the light control is great, and the price is reasonable. 2-year life while being sparingly used is way too small While looking for a replacement, I noticed similar short life reviews by others. Unfortunately, at least on Amazon, there are no other similar multi-directional light units so I felt compelled to order another unit with the expectation of a low lifetime. For ours anyway, its not the actual ring light but the control box that failed. ### ⭐⭐ Short life span for LED *by B***C on September 29, 2023* Only lasted 14 months. LED's should last years, not months. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1154796-amscope-led-144a-144-led-lighting-direction-adjustable-microscope-ring](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1154796-amscope-led-144a-144-led-lighting-direction-adjustable-microscope-ring) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-14*
