Suppliers of light-guiding fiber optic cables in Canada

Post by Microman2 »

Hello, I am interested in replicating Charles Krebs' Flash Photomicrography setup involving an external light source and a flashgun. Rather than dissembling the flash unit and modifying my Olympus BHS lighthouse, I am considering using fiber optic cables to guide light from these two sources to perform flash photomicrography. With sources for light guiding fiber optic cables hard to find, does anybody shops/stores that can supply light guiding fiber optic cables to consumers in Canada?

I can't answer your specific question but I could suggest some ideas

- Here you have links to many setups

- Here some discussion on how to couple flash (and LEDs) to fiber optics:

- At the second hand market you can find lots of fiber optics bundles used in FO halogen illuminators, take a look at Ebay
