Research System Stereomicroscope SZX16/SZX10 : Features (2)

Unprecedented depth and sharp images dramatically enhance efficiency for a variety of tasks including specimen manipulation.

New standards in image clarity begin with a multi-wave length, astigmatism-free design.

“Multi-wave length astigmatism-free”: a new design effectively eliminating image-deforming
aberration and enabling remarkably sharp 3D imaging and dramatically enhanced specimen
manipulation. Also, with an apochromatic lens system that effectively reduces chromatic aberration, the latest proprietary SZX16 optical system provides sharp 3D observation images of various specimens.

Sharp, detailed observation of specimens

Newly designed SDF objective lenses keep astigmatism to a minimum. This effectively eliminates image deforming at pre- and post-focal plane and thus the depth of field is perceived as deeper than before. These design features enable stress-free use of forceps in the field of view during live sample selection and acquisition. SZX2 puts power into action for long-time observation. When these objectives are combined with the newly developed transmitted light illumination base, clear observation is even possible for transparent specimens where contrast is low. Oversights are thus minimized for specimen selection, dissection, and manipulation.

Integration of apochromatic system

The apochromatic system — integrated into observation tubes, zoom body, and objectives — eliminates chromatic aberration throughout the zoom range and ensure excellent image quality without chromatic blur.

Optical performance with less fatigue

A 360º view of balanced images is made possible by accommodating vertical and horizontal parameters. Discomfort in the eyes and body, as well as stress from long-time observation or operation, is effectively eliminated.

SZX16: new optics for equally easy handling of thick specimens

Obtaining a lucid visual perspective, such as a clear feel for dimension, is essential for manipulation of thick specimens like eggs or embryos. The latest proprietary SZX16 delivers the images needed for observation of such specimens. 3D observation images from surface to interior are also particularly effective in the dissection and manipulation of live specimens.
