By utilizing an ergonomic design to improve the operator's posture while working, the SMZ800N reduces fatigue caused by long hours of microscope observation. In addition to superb optical performance, this stereo microscope features an array of useful accessories, allowing the system to grow as your requirements change at an affordable price.
Key Features
Illumination
An Epi-Fluorescence attachment allows easy observation of living cells under fluorescence methods such as GFP. A Coaxial Episcopic Illuminator using a 12V/150W Fiber Optic Light Source offers bright illumination over the entire surface of your sample. Exclusive OCC (Oblique Coherent Contrast) lighting allows observation of samples with extremely low contrast in high relief. Phase differences can be observed to 1/30 of a wavelength of light.
Zoom Ratio
The parallel optical system of the SMZ800 has a 6.3:1 zoom ratio with clickstops at intervals from 1x through 6x. It features a zoom range of 1x to 6.3x and total magnification (depending on eyepiece and objective used) is 5x to 378x.
Optics
Eight objectives are available from economical achromat objectives to highly corrected Apochromats
20° Eyepiece Tube Inclination
The inclination of the standard eyepiece tube is 20°, allowing the operator to make observations with a straight back. This reduces fatigue during long hours of operation by lessening strain on the neck, shoulders, and back.
Eye-level Positioning
With the tilting eyepiece tube, the eye-level can be adjusted within a maximum range of 157mm (6.2 in). This is accomplished by swinging the eyepieces up 180° as well as tilting them. The tilting eyepiece tube makes it possible to adjust the eyepiece inclination between 0° and 30°.
Streamlined Base
The Plain Focusing Stand features a low profile for easy handling of samples. Furthermore, the base has a wide front and smooth curve, allowing operators to work while comfortably resting their arms in a natural position.
Diascopic Stand
The stage glass in the diascopic stand has been enlarged. This allows large Petri dishes to slide over its smooth surface with ease, making it possible to view samples up to their periphery. You can also rest your hands on the armrest to reduce stress while working.
