The SZR-180 Stereo Microscopes from Optika Microscopes is a top-tier stereo zoom microscope designed for demanding laboratory work. Offered by Apex Scientific in South Africa, this model blends superior optical performance with user-friendly ergonomics, making it ideal for both routine tasks and advanced research applications. Whether you’re working in education, quality control, or biological sciences, the SZR-180 Stereomicroscopes provide the clarity and versatility you need.
Exceptional Optical Performance
The SZR-180 includes a trinocular head inclined at 20°, promoting a natural viewing angle that reduces strain during long sessions. Moreover, it accommodates interpupillary distances from 52 to 112 mm, and both eyepieces offer dioptric adjustment for a tailored fit. As a result, users benefit from maximum comfort and clarity. The WF10x/23 mm high eyepoint eyepieces with rubber cups provide clear, comfortable viewing with minimal distortion. This ensures that every detail of your sample is captured with precision.
Versatile Magnification Range
Featuring an impressive 18:1 zoom ratio, the SZR-180 offers a wide magnification range from 7.5x to 135x. Notably, it includes click-stop positions at 0.75x, 1x, 2x, 3x, 6x, 10x, and 13.5x for precise and repeatable zoom adjustments. Additionally, the PLAN Apochromatic 1x objective delivers exceptional resolution and flatness. This makes the SZR-180 Stereomicroscopes ideal for observing fine sample details at any zoom level, even when switching between tasks or users.
Ergonomic Design and Advanced Illumination
Built for long-term comfort, the SZR-180 features a high-precision stand and intuitive controls that minimize fatigue. Furthermore, its LED transmitted illumination system supports Oblique Illumination Contrast (OIC) and dark field viewing. Consequently, it enhances contrast for transparent or delicate specimens, allowing researchers to detect subtle details more effectively. Combined with its robust build and precise mechanics, the SZR-180 Stereomicroscopes offer consistent performance and long-lasting durability.
