Key Features

Wide Viewing Window

A wide viewing window with a built-in SC56 filter supports clear observation and accurate gel cutting. Viewing from directly above helps cut even narrow bands.

Light-Blocking Structure

The tilted filter lets stray light escape toward the back and ceiling, while the camera door blocks light from the front. This structure helps improve image contrast.

Double Doors & Click-Hinge

he double-door structure makes gel handling easier. Click-lock damper hinges keep the door open during work and help block external light when closed..

Pict LaBox wide workspace for gel cutting

Comfortable Gel Cutting Space

Side-wall openings provide working space for gel cutting. The design offers a surprisingly large workspace despite the compact body size.
