Stereo-microscopes owe their popularity to their wide range and ease of use. They are recommended for technicians, (coin) restorers and biologists. Since you don't need to prepare slides, you can even examine a whole beetle under them. The view is always almost breathtakingly three-dimensional.
Our SZM-500A microscope is equipped with a 0.7x-4.5x zoom objective, which allows stepless adjustment of magnifications from 7x to 45x with the standard SWF10x eyepiece. The eyepiece also gives an outstandingly sharp field of view towards the edge of the field of view. The head of the microscope can be slid up and down on a rod, and can even be turned sideways if required, allowing objects of virtually any size to be placed underneath (the stage provides a sharp image of objects up to 140 mm in size). 100 mm of working space is left under the objectives, which can be increased to 165 mm with an optional 0.5x reduction lens.
The microscope is equipped with bottom and top illumination, the brightness of which can be adjusted separately, and in addition external illumination can be retrofitted. By fitting the rubber eye cap included in the package to the upper part of the eyepieces, side scattered light can be excluded, making observations more comfortable.
The binocular head can be tilted 45° and rotated 360°, and its eye relief is freely adjustable between 55-75 mm. Dioptric correction is provided on both sides. The basic package also includes a sturdy cover sheet to protect the microscope from dust when not in use.
For digital recording of what you see in the microscope, we offer members of our ToupCam camera series - to fit these into the microscope, you will need a 30mm adapter, which is also available for an extra charge in our shop.
In the attached series of images, you can observe the details of the crown above the coat of arms on a 10,000 Ft paper coin through 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x objectives. The images were taken with a 2 megapixel camera.
