3.5X-45X Binocular Stereo Zoom Microscope With Dual Halogen Lights

The SM-2B is a turnkey binocular stereo microscope solution for biological & industrial fields. Using our workhorse SM745 head, it provides remarkable optical quality with a wide zoom magnification range. The dual-illumination base provides solid support, & both transmitted & reflected lighting for observing a range of objects, from biological cultures to PCBs.

The stereo optics provide clear, sharp images with excellent focus-depth & a large working-distance. with 0.7X-4.5X zoom objectives, moving through the magnification range is as easy as turning a knob. 10X wide-field eyepieces provide an ample magnification range from 7X to 45X, with high-eyepoint optics to accommodate glasses or goggles. A 0.5X Barlow lens is included, which can be mounted to the objective housing to halve the magnification range to 3.5X-22.5X. This also increases the working distance. The combined magnification ranges provide 3.5X-45X.

The dual-illumination Stand provides a turnkey solution for biological & industrial applications. The pillar-based support system offers flexibility with its ability to quickly adjust height & lateral position. The microscope can be easily set & rotated in the mounting collar, & locked in place once adjusted. Large, symmetrical focus knobs provide the precision control needed, with adjustable tension for light or heavy loads as well as comfort.

Overhead & sub-stage halogen lighting allows you to work with opaque & translucent objects. The top light is mounted behind the head to provide offset light, & can be tilted for varied effect. This is useful for topological examination, such as with circuit boards & biological cultures. Thin tissue specimens, gemstones, & other translucent materials will benefit from the sub-stage transmitted lighting. A frosted glass stage-plate is provided to diffuse the light for more even back-lighting.
