SZR-180 Trinocular Research Life Science Stereo Zoom Microscope with LED Illumination

The SZR-180 is a precision stereo zoom microscope optimized for life science and research applications in fields such as biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and cell imaging. Its 18:1 zoom ratio enables detailed observation across magnifications from 7.5× to 135×, supporting workflows from single-cell analysis to microorganism examination, making it essential for molecular cloning and bioprocessing studies.

Key technical features include:

• Optical system: PLAN Apochromatic 1× objective with numerical aperture (N.A.) 0.15, offering high optical resolution and color correction for accurate imaging.
• Zoom capability: 18:1 zoom with click stops at specific magnifications (0.75×, 1×, 2×, 3×, 6×, 10×, 13.5×) and an aperture diaphragm for contrast control.
• Head configuration: Trinocular 100/0 – 0/100 on right tube, inclined 20°, ideal for simultaneous digital imaging or camera integration used in biomanufacturing documentation.
• Ergonomics: Adjustable interpupillary distance of 52–112 mm and dioptric adjustments on both eyepieces for user comfort during extended microscopy sessions.
• Eyepieces: Wide Field (WF) 10×/23 mm with high eyepoint and rubber cups, suitable for fluorescence and transmitted light imaging.
• Focusing: Coaxial coarse and fine focusing via a rack and pinion mechanism, with a coarse travel distance of 125 mm and fine focus rotation of 2 mm.
• Stage: Glass transparent plate, 180 mm diameter, compatible with transmitted illumination techniques like Oblique Illumination Contrast (OIC) and darkfield, enhancing contrast for transparent specimen visualization.
• Illumination: LED transmitted light source powered by a multi-plug external supply (100-240 Vac/12 Vdc), ensuring stable, energy-efficient illumination critical for live-cell imaging and fluorescence analysis.
• Working distance: 60 mm, facilitating ample space for sample manipulation in biotechnology and synthetic biology research setups.

The SZR-180 stereo microscope is widely adopted in advanced life science research and biotechnological applications, providing versatile, high-resolution imaging indispensable for neuroscience, clinical diagnostics, and biomedical engineering laboratories.
