Several years back I bought a Meiji EMZ 8TR microscope because of its extra long working distance. However, I needed to have a boom to mount the scope upon as well as a light ring that emitted a lots of light.
I built both to suit my needs. The Super-Lite uses a 6.5 inch fluorescent ring and puts out 800 candle power of light. I have attached some photos for you in case you wish to build one for yourself. Even with such a large light and cover there remains a great deal of work distance, and because of that distance no heat to my hands.
