SZM-500T zoom stereo microscope, 7-45x magnification

Stereo-microscopes owe their popularity to their wide range and ease of use. They are recommended for technicians (coin) restorers, but also for biologists. Since no slides need to be made, you can even examine a whole beetle under them. In all cases, the view is almost breathtakingly three-dimensional.

Our SZM-500T microscope is equipped with a 0.7x-4.5x zoom objective, which allows stepless adjustment of magnifications from 7x to 45x with the standard WF10x eyepiece. The eyepiece has an outstandingly large field of view: at 7x magnification, it gives a field of view of 28.6 mm. Thanks to its complex construction, it provides a contrasty image with a sharp image right to the edge of the field of view. The trinocular microscope head 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 object on the stage can be up to 140 mm in size to obtain a sharp image.) The viewing head has a 23.2 mm camera connection and a separate focus adjustment facility, and can be switched to shine either into the camera or the left eyepiece. There is 100 mm of space left under the lens for work, which can be increased to 165 mm with an optional 0.5x reduction lens.
