Labbox stereo microscope, SMZ-171 series

This versatile stereo microscope impresses with its precise Greenough zoom system and comfortable 45° viewing angle. Thanks to its innovative LED illumination and ergonomic handling, it is particularly suitable for professional users in research, teaching and industry. Anyone looking for a robust and flexible microscope for routine applications or more complex analyses will find what they are looking for here. Compared to conventional models, it scores points with its high-quality optics, generous working distance and reliable mechanics, making it the first choice for various laboratory and quality control environments.

Powerful optics and robust construction

A key advantage of this series is the extended zoom factor of 6.7:1, which enables a magnification range of 0.75X to 5X. This means that both overview-like and very finely focused observations are possible. The WF10X/23mm wide field eyepieces ensure a large and clear field of view, which reduces fatigue, especially during longer sessions. A 110 mm working distance not only improves ergonomics, but also enables comfortable manipulation of the sample material.

The microscope head, which can be binocular or trinocular, offers a natural and back-friendly posture thanks to its 45° tilt. At the same time, the head can be rotated 360°, which increases flexibility when viewing samples. The solid base made of durable material has integrated LED lighting with adjustable intensity. This ensures that the quality of illumination remains consistently high, even in varying lighting conditions.

The microscope is supplied with a macrometric focusing system with pressure adjustment. This allows the focusing to be individually adjusted to the object being examined and the user’s habits. For even more safety, a protective cover is supplied to effectively protect the device from dust and splashes. Users also benefit from an exceptional 5-year guarantee on optical and mechanical components, which underlines the reliability and durability of the design.

In addition, it is designed for laboratory applications in accordance with current EN standards and can be used without hesitation in situations where reliable measurement and observation results are essential.

Concrete application examples

1. In research laboratories: Ideal for examining biological samples such as cell cultures, tissue sections and insect preparations. The flexible magnification allows both rough overviews and fine details to be analyzed.
2. In quality control: Suitable for inspecting printed circuit boards, electronic components or materials such as metal and plastic. Thanks to the large working distance, easy handling of test objects is guaranteed.
3. In education: Ideal for use in schools and universities. Thanks to the robust design and easy operation, study groups can also quickly consolidate the knowledge they have learned.
4. In forensics: The finest trace analyses can be traced precisely thanks to the powerful zoom, for example when examining fibers, hairs or surface damage on crime tools.

FAQs

How can the lighting intensity be optimally adjusted?

The LED lighting can be adjusted using a control on the side of the base. A medium setting is usually sufficient to produce a clear, homogeneous light. For glossy surfaces, we recommend reducing the brightness to avoid reflections.

Is it possible to switch between binocular and trinocular heads?

Depending on the model, the microscope is available with either a binocular or trinocular head. Although a subsequent conversion is technically possible, it is not usually offered. If you need video or camera recording, you should choose the trinocular version directly.

What care and maintenance measures are required?

Regular dusting of the lenses with a fine brush or bellows protects against deposits. A special lens cleaning paper is suitable for heavier soiling. The entire appliance should also be cleaned from the outside with a slightly damp cloth as required. Do not use aggressive chemicals under any circumstances.

How to set the focus correctly

The macrometric focusing system, which can be individually adjusted using a voltage regulator, is used for coarse focusing. Once the coarse focus has been set, fine-tuning is carried out by turning the focusing wheel slightly. This allows different sample thicknesses to be taken into account.

Conclusion

This stereo zoom microscope impresses with its flexible optics, a generous working distance of 110 mm and powerful LED illumination. It is immediately ready for use, robustly manufactured and optimally tailored to professional laboratory and industrial standards. Thanks to the 6.7:1 zoom factor and the wide-field eyepieces, it enables detailed observation of a wide range of samples. The reliable technology, 5-year guarantee on optical and mechanical components and CE conformity round off the overall package and make the Labbox stereo microscope, SMZ-171 series an outstanding tool for research, training and quality control.
