Motic Stereo Microscopes

The SMZ-168 Series of stereomicroscopes incorporates a zoom ratio of 1:6.7, one of the industry's largest, with a standard working distance of 113mm inside a Greenough optical stereo system. Moreover, the standard system provides a maximum magnification of 50X [with standard 10X eyepieces] and guaranteed parfocality throughout the magnifications.

Designed for long term usage, the SMZ-168 is available in both a 35° and 60° observation angle format to fit the application and environment setup. Assisting in fatigue preventation is the high eyepoint system of the standard 10X eyepieces, which allows the user to assume a more comfortable posture when using the microscope and eyeglass wearers to observe without the fear of scratching their lenses. The standard eyepieces offer a field of view fo 30.7mm to cover more of sample in less time. 

The K401 expands on the benefits of a Common Main Objective [CMO] optical system by integrating a Plan Achromat objective to further reveil information within the field of view. Images on the edge of the field of view appear flat instead of curved, as in other systems, which makes the K401 ideal for inspection and photomicrography.

With the longest standard working distance [110mm], the K401 merges the benefit of the Greenough system"s long working distance with the optical clarity of the CMO system for a more versatile solution for numerous applications. The K401"s working distance can be further increased [up to 312mm] through the use of Achromat auxiliary objectives.

In documentation mode, true colour renditions via a still or video device are the results of the K401"s Plan Achromat objective and the utilisation of the double iris diaphragm of the 1500.4 optical bridge. Documentation is easily converted to analysis with the employment of one of Motic"s digital application camera and self-produced software packages to fully maximise the potential of the K401.
