Stereo Zoom Microscope -HSM Series

Stereo zoom microscope, also known as a stereomicroscope or dissecting microscope, is a type of optical microscope designed for three-dimensional (3D) observation of objects at low to moderate magnification levels. Unlike compound microscopes, which are typically used for high-magnification and two-dimensional observations of thin, transparent specimens, stereo zoom microscopes are designed for studying solid, opaque, or thick specimens in 3D. Stereo Zoom Microscopes provide Sharp stereo erect images over a wide field view. It has 45 0 inclined and 360 0 rotatable binocular head with a locked‐in eyepiece with diopter adjustment ±5 DP. The interpapillary distance can be adjusted between 55‐75mm.

Key Features :

1. Binocular Viewing: Stereo microscopes typically have two eyepieces (binocular) to provide a comfortable and three-dimensional viewing experience for the user. This helps create a depth perception that is crucial when studying objects in 3D.
2. Zoom Magnification: One of the most prominent features of a stereo zoom microscope is the ability to change the magnification continuously. This is usually achieved using a zoom knob or lever, allowing you to smoothly transition between lower and higher magnification levels without having to change objective lenses.
3. Two Optical Paths: A stereo microscope has two separate optical paths (sometimes referred to as optical axes) for each eyepiece, which allows the observer to see the object from slightly different angles. This binocular vision is essential for depth perception.
4. Illumination: Stereo microscopes often come with built-in or external illumination sources to illuminate the specimen. This can include both incident (from above) and transmitted (from below) lighting, depending on the design and application.
5. Objective Lenses: Stereo zoom microscopes may have interchangeable objective lenses with different magnification levels and working distances. The zooming capability allows for a wide range of magnifications.
6. Working Distance: Working distance refers to the distance between the objective lens and the specimen. Stereo zoom microscopes typically have a greater working distance compared to compound microscopes, allowing for manipulation of the specimen or tools beneath the objective.
7. Focus and Fine Focus Controls: Stereo microscopes have coarse and fine focusing mechanisms to bring the specimen into sharp focus. This is especially useful when observing objects with varying depths.
8. Articulating Arm or Stand: The microscope may be mounted on an articulating arm or a stand, which provides stability and flexibility in positioning the microscope over the specimen. Some models also come with a boom stand for larger working spaces.
9. Eyepieces and Diopter Adjustment: Eyepieces are often paired with diopter adjustment to accommodate different users’ vision and enable fine-tuning for a comfortable view.
