Optical inspection system Apollo II

LEDmanualvisual

Overview
The Apollo II Dimmable Liquid Inspection Unit provides manual visual inspection for particulate contamination in transparent liquids contained in clear vessels. It features an integrated LED dimmer for adjustable illumination (1,200–3,750 lux), reversible dual inspection panels (matt black / non-glare white), neutral white 4,000 K LED lighting, and height and angle adjustability. Available for 230 VAC or 120 VAC electrical supply.

Key features

• Designed for variable light-level inspection
  Integrated LED dimmer allows operators to fine-tune illumination to match product sensitivity and inspection protocols; adjustable range 1,200–3,750 lux.
• Pharmacopoeia compliance when required
  When set between 2,000 and 3,750 lux, the unit supports visual inspection requirements of EP 2.9.20, BP 2.9.20 and USP <1790> Section 6.1; lower lux settings allow controlled inspections for light-sensitive formulations.
• Dual-panel particle detection
  Reversible, replaceable inspection panels: matt black for improved visibility of light-coloured particulates and non-glare white for dark particulates; designed for use in GMP-regulated environments.
• Controlled, consistent illumination
  Stable, flicker-free neutral white (4,000 K) LED lighting ensures repeatable inspection conditions and reduces operator fatigue. Available in 230 VAC or 120 VAC.
• Ergonomic operator-focused design
  Fully height-adjustable with adjustable viewing angle and shielding to reduce direct eye exposure during prolonged inspection tasks.
• Quick assembly & practical storage
  Tool-free assembly and foldable design allow rapid setup and compact storage; inspection panels fold together for protection when not in use.

Service & Maintenance
The Apollo II can be cleaned with IPA or ethanol-based agents to meet routine hygiene procedures in pharmaceutical inspection areas.

FAQ highlights

• The unit is intended for manual visual inspection of transparent liquids where lower or variable light levels are required, for example with light-sensitive products or formulations prone to glare.
• The dimmable version adds an integrated LED dimmer control to allow precise adjustment of illumination and to permit inspections below standard EP-recommended lux levels while retaining the ability to meet pharmacopoeia requirements when needed.
• The dual-panel design improves detection by making light-coloured particles visible against the black panel and dark particles visible against the white panel, ensuring broader particle visibility.
• LED modules have a service life of up to 50,000 hours.
