SoiLite Ring Light Illuminator - Pre-Order

Transform the way you see soil life.
Developed in collaboration with regenerative educator Matt Powers and LW Scientific, the SoiLite brings precision, natural-color surface illumination to soil microscopy. Built for researchers, consultants, and growers exploring soil biology, the SoiLite reveals the living surface of roots, spores, hyphae, and organic matter that traditional bottom-lit brightfield can’t show.

Two Configurations

• SoiLite i4 Model – Attaches directly to the rear of the LW Scientific i4 microscope for seamless integration.
• SoiLite Desk Model – Freestanding bench unit that connects via cable for universal use with most compound or stereo microscopes.

Key Features

• Variable-intensity, shadow-free LED lighting designed for manual illumination techniques
• Enables top-down observation of root surfaces, mycorrhizal structures, and soil aggregates
• Preserves true colors for more accurate evaluation of biological health
• Simple clamp-on design fits nearly any objective
• Durable, lab-grade construction for field or classroom use

Why It Matters
Standard transmitted light highlights silhouettes. The SoiLite’s overhead, adjustable illumination reveals living texture—spores, hyphae, biofilms, and mineral bonds—helping you verify soil vitality and compost activity in real time.

Illuminate the unseen. Explore the living connections in your soil with the SoiLite Ring Light Illuminator.
