Z Series Custom Stereo Microscopes

 

Z Series microscopes are the next revolution in stereo microscopy. With their large zoom ranges and enhanced optics, the Z series scopes cover you from macro to micro applications - all on one scope.

 

The scopes are built on a parallel optical system, producing images that are both high in contrast and resolution. Using a single common objective and having two independent zoom paths, users will experience magnificent images with incredible depth of focus. Never before have users been able to see such depth in one, unfocused image. Coupled with this advanced optical system, the scope offers both Plan and Plan APO objectives in multiple magnifications, providing a vast range of magnifications for a wide variety of applications.

 

In addition to the unsurpassed image quality, the scope has unprecedented ergonomics, and users can select from a wide assortment of accessories to enhance the workflow. All the scopes are modular and building block designs, so we can configure the scope to meet your immediate needs, all while keeping your future needs in mind with upgradeability. Techniques like fluorescence, oblique illumination, and micromanipulation are all readily available with the Z Series scopes.

This robust and high-performance stereo scope incorporates Greenhough (Twin zooming) technology, providing unsurpassed imaging and increased depth of focus. The Z645 allows for true stereo resolution, providing the best 3-D images available in this class of scope. The internal optics and coatings produce images rich in color reproduction and high in resolution, making them an excellent choice for any application where high resolution and increased depth of focus are required.

 

The scopes have an integrated 1X common objective and offer a large 115 mm working distance, allowing added access to specimens. With a zoom ratio of 6.7:1 and a large 6X to 45X zoom range, low and high magnification imaging is possible on this scope. Additionally, there are auxiliary objectives available that easily thread on and off the scope, enhancing the total usable magnification ranges.   

 

The co-axial zoom control allows smooth zooming throughout the entire zoom range and has vibration free click stops to repeat magnifications. This allows users to know their magnification without removing their eyes from the sample. These click stops can be disengaged to provide a constant zoom.

 

Both the binocular and trinocular photo versions are an airtight, one-piece design and have anti-mold coatings so they can be used in any environment.

 

The trinocular version of the Z645 has a top-mounted, direct-coupled photo port, so adding a camera to the scope is simple. In addition, an integrated dichroic directs light to both the eyepieces and the camera simultaneously, eliminating the need to constantly move a slider to direct the light as needed. This design also ensures that both optical paths are directed to the camera, making the digital image quality more robust and "stereoscopic".

 

These scopes are modular and can be configured to meet specific needs and budgets. Additional accessories are available, as well as a variety of advanced illumination techniques, including adjustable gooseneck LED light guides, ring lights, and advanced oblique contrast embryo transfer stands.
