My light source is halogen, but it's coupled to the microscope

microscopes...
We have a Olympus microscope with fiber optic light source. We
intentionally purchased this because of past experiences with standard
bases heating up. So far, our experience is similar to Matt's in that
the base rarely heats up to any significant degree.
