Halogen lamps are one of the best types of light sources for use in microscopy. The light provided by halogen lamps is bright, but soft. It is also very white, which means color rendition won’t be affected (it’s a big advantage especially when compared to incandescent lamps, which usually require the use of a blue filter to eliminate the yellow color). The correct color rendition inherent to halogen lamps is a huge plus for microphotography. The light from a halogen lamp also spreads very homogeneously so the sample is evenly lit. Compared to incandescent lamps, halogen sources are more energy-efficient, and compared to LEDs they are more cost-efficient in short perspective and are easily replaced. Halogen lamps are usually equipped with a special dimmer, which prevents the lamp from overheating, which is very important since microscope samples are very susceptible to ambient temperature. Because of all these advantages, choosing a microscope with halogen illumination is perfectly reasonable.
