Product description

Stereo microscope with 15:1 zoom, 0.75x-11.25x magnification, apochromatic objectives, ergonomic binocular tube.

The Nikon SMZ1500 is a high-performance stereo microscope designed to deliver exceptionally clear, bright, and true-to-life images across a wide magnification range. Introduced in 2000, this instrument has been a staple in various scientific fields, including biotechnology, molecular biology, and biomedical research.

Key features include:

  • Unparalleled Zoom Range: Offers a 15:1 zoom ratio, covering magnifications from 0.75x to 11.25x, enabling detailed observation from macro to micro scales without auxiliary lenses.
  • High-Resolution Apochromatic Objectives: Equipped with newly designed objectives that minimize distortion and chromatic aberration, providing sharp, high-contrast images essential for precise analysis.
  • Ergonomic Design: Features a 20-degree inclined binocular tube and high eyepoint eyepieces with diopter adjustments, ensuring user comfort during extended periods of use.
  • Versatile Illumination Options: Compatible with various illumination systems, including fiber optic illuminators and fluorescence attachments, facilitating diverse observation techniques.

This microscope is widely utilized in university laboratories, biomedical research centres, and clinical environments for applications such as live-cell imaging, fluorescence analysis, and bioprocessing. Its adaptability and superior optical performance make it a valuable tool in biopharmaceutical production pipelines and molecular diagnostics.

While the SMZ1500 has been succeeded by newer models like the SMZ25 and SMZ18, it remains in use due to its robust design and reliable performance.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
