Designed for advanced research, materials science, QC inspection, and failure analysis, the SZX16 stereo microscope features an ultra-high resolution (0.3 NA), an ultra-wide zoom ratio (16.4:1), and versatile imaging with darkfield, fluorescence, and polarization. With these broad capabilities, you can image whole samples, such as organisms or components, down to fine microscopic details, such as individual cell structures or micro-defects. Equip your lab with the optical clarity needed to detect, document, and identify even the smallest details.

Meeting the Challenges of Life Science and Materials Science Imaging

Designed for advanced research, materials science, QC inspection, and failure analysis, the SZX16 stereo microscope features:

• Outstanding resolution of 900 line pairs per mm (0.3 NA)
• Darkfield, fluorescence, and polarization capabilities
• Ultra-wide zoom ratio of 16.4:1
• Full zoom range of 0.7x–11.5x with our dual turret
• Ergonomic solutions for comfortable observation

With these broad capabilities, you can perform demanding applications—from imaging whole samples, such as organisms or components, down to fine microscopic structures, such as individual cell structures or micro-defects. Equip your lab with the optical clarity needed to detect, document, and identify even the smallest details.

Outstanding Optical Performance

The SZX16’s optics, which include observation tubes, a zoom body, and objectives, are fully apochromatic to reduce chromatic blur over the entire magnification range. The super depth of focus (SDF) objectives can deliver clear and high-contrast images of virtually any sample—from micron-scale defects to cell component structures.

The maximum NA of 0.3 produces a resolution of 900 line pairs per mm, enabling clear visualization of fine microscopic cell and cell component structures. Outstanding resolution and peerless magnification make work more efficient, more precise, and reveal much more information from specimens.

This higher resolution also means the stereo microscope can distinguish smaller, more closely spaced features in components, which is essential for high-precision failure analysis and QC inspection. Spot micro-cracks or fractures, surface scratches or contamination, or manufacturing detects invisible at lower resolutions.

Wide 16.4:1 Zoom Ratio

The SZX16 boasts an ultra-wide zoom ratio of 16.4:1, enabling 7x-115x magnification with a 1X objective, and up to 230x magnification with a 2X objective.

This wide zoom range makes it suitable for a wide range of research analysis applications, with low-magnification macro views for dissection and specimen manipulation, and sharp high-magnification views for close observation of microstructures.

In failure analysis and QC inspection work, this ultra-wide zoom range is ideal for inspecting everything from large components or assemblies down to micron-scale defects like cracks, scratches, or contaminant particles.
