Biological Microscopes

Stands and optional units

Standard stand (SZX2-ST)
This standard reflected light illumination stand supports observation conditions where no transmitted light is needed.

Universal stand type2 (SZ2-STU2)
Smooth horizontal movement and rotation enable specimen observation from various angles.

Large stand (SZX2-STL)
This stand provides a large working space to accommodate large specimens.

CO2 incubator* (MIU-IBCSZX/MIU-IBCSZXF)
This CO2 incubator is developed especially for the SZX2. Transparent glass heaters positioned above and below samples will create a stable environment within, equivalent to a CO2 incubator. Long-time observation of specimens during cultivation is therefore possible. The glass heater above the chamber dries off condensation for a vivid imaging environment.
* Due to be launched in the summer of 2006.

Thermo plate (MATS-U55SZX2A/ MATS-U55SZX2B)
(SZX2-ILLC16/SZX2-ILLC10*)
Compatible with the SZX2 only, this thermo plate has a temperature range that may be set from room temperature to 50° to keep the specimen warm.

Large stage plate (SZX-CL)
This stage plate attaches to the top of a transmitted light illumination base and can be detached for easy sterilization and other antiseptic procedures.

Transmitted/Reflected light illumination base

Transmitted light guide adaptor (SZX-TLGAD) /
Light guide (LG-SF)
As the light guide LG-SF power source is mounted away from the transmitted light illumination base, increases in illumination base surface temperature are prevented.

Dual combination light guide (LG-DFI)
The SZX2 light guide can be mounted directly onto the focus drive, keeping the observation position properly illuminated even when focus is adjusted or when the specimen is exchanged.

Dual inter-lock light guide (LG-DI)
This light guide can be positioned as the observer likes for bright, even illumination - especially effective when high-contrast images are required. The spot lens HLL301 can be mounted.

Ring light guide (LG-R66)
With its ø66mm diameter mount, this ring light illuminator has been specially developed for stereomicroscope compatibility. When mounted with ring light adapter SZX-LGR66*, it provides bright, uniformly lit images especially avoiding glaring reflections or obscuring shadows.
* Compatible with the SZX10 only.

Coaxial illuminator
(SZX2-ILLC16/SZX2-ILLC10*)
Used with the dual flexible light guide LG-DF, this illuminator provides bright, even illumination without the need for centering adjustments to the lamp.
* Compatible with the SZX10 only.

Accessories

Light beam splitter (SZX2-LBS)
The adapter allows a digital camera or other imaging unit to be attached on both sides of the SZX2-LBS body. The light path to the camera port is switched between 100% and 50% light. The 100% light path to the camera port enables image capturing of dark specimens.

Simple polarizer (SZX-PO) and analyzer (SZX2-AN)
This simple polarizer should be used with a transmitted light illumination base. It provides double-refractile image observation of such specimens as sea urchin larvae. Analyzer should be attached on the tip of objectives.
