Stereo Microscope
Low magnification and dissecting microscopes, commonly known as stereo microscopes, share key components. Firstly, a pair of angled objectives is concealed in the microscope's end/nose, each connected to its eyepiece, providing a stereoscopic or three-dimensional view due to their angled design.
The microscope head, housing optical components and magnification mechanisms, is another vital element. Microscope heads vary, categorising and pricing stereo microscopes. For instance, single magnification heads require objective and eyepiece changes for magnification adjustments, often featuring a rectangular objective holder.
Zoom magnification heads are popular, offering a continuous magnification range controlled by a zoom knob. They can include auxiliary objectives to modify the magnification range and working distance. Additionally, zoom microscopes with 'trinocular heads' (T suffix) provide a vertical photoport for attaching cameras, expanding photographic possibilities.
Beyond these components, choosing a stereo microscope involves considering factors like working distance, field of view, and ergonomics. Longer working distances accommodate diverse sample sizes, while larger fields of view benefit the examination of larger samples. Ergonomic features, such as adjustable eyepiece height and angle, contribute to user comfort during extended use.
Other considerations include the microscope's illumination options and accessories like digital cameras and measurement software. These features are particularly valuable in fields such as materials science, forensics, and quality control.
Stereo Microscope Illumination
Kemet offers diverse illumination systems, including fibre optic systems, LED illuminators, and spot lamps. These provide optimal lighting conditions for various inspection tasks.
Stereo Zoom Microscope for Through Axis Observation
The ideal stereo zoom microscope is suitable for precision tasks like dissections, electronics assembly, and jewelry manufacturing. Its through-axis design enhances hand-eye coordination, making tasks more intuitive and controlled.
SICZ (Simultaneous Independent Camera Zoom):
Equipped with optical zoom components dedicated to the camera, the microscope offers simultaneous viewing through both eyepieces and the camera. This design ensures 100% light reaches the camera, providing a direct view and an erect image for simplified camera-guided movements.
The microscope offers simultaneous viewing through both eyepieces and the camera, ensuring a comprehensive observation experience. With no light sharing to the camera port, it guarantees that 100% of the light reaches the camera, optimising image clarity. The design provides a more direct view, utilising camera optics configured for a less oblique perspective. This results in an erect image for the camera, simplifying movements guided solely by the camera image. In essence, the microscope effectively combines the features of a 3D Stereo Zoom microscope with a Monozoom photography system in a single, versatile device.The microscope head is compatible with various stands and features high optical quality, a modern stand, and a lifetime warranty. The UltraZoom-6 AXIAL ZOOM offers a magnification range from 7X to 45X, expandable to 1.05X to 360X with additional options. It includes a side-mounted camera port and advanced Simultaneous Independent Camera Zoom for live image viewing, capture, and analysis, delivering a bright, high-resolution 3D image through angled zoom objectives.
