Optical Superiority

A Wide Zoom Range

With a zoom range of 0.7x to 11.5x, users can observe fine details while maintaining a wide field of view without replacing objective lenses.

Large Selection of Objective Lenses

Lineup of Objective Lenses

The astigmatism-free SDF series of objectives provide high-resolution and high-contrast images. Select from six different lenses based on your specimen requirements.
With the combination of a large, seamless zoom ratio and a comprehensive range of parfocal objectives (0.5X, 1.0X, 1.6X, and 2.0X), the SZX16 takes you from a macro-view to a micro-view. The range of resolution and magnification choices helps make your work efficient and precise so you get more information from your samples.

Versatile Illumination Solutions

Stands and Illumination Units

Low-profile LED Illumination Base

The Olympus SZX2 series features the unique Olympus LED base system for fine control of transmitted illumination and bright, even images. With the ultra-slim 40 mm base, the SZX2 series has the ergonomic stage height available . Moreover, a novel carousel makes it easy to select and control brightfield, darkfield, and oblique illumination. The long-life LEDs do not heat the stage or the sample, greatly enhancing the flexibility for material stereo microscopy.

Selectable Reflected Light Illumination Lineup

Versatile reflected illumination units include the ring light illuminator and coaxial illuminator. Choose the illumination system based on your specific application requirements.

Intelligent Digital Imaging

High Performance Cameras

With the SZX10 you will want to document or show live digital views of your sample. By utilizing a trinocular head and moving the objective in the axial imaging pathway a perpendicular view of the sample is obtained. Attaching the Olympus DP cooled digital camera produces a very flexible imaging station. This is designed for high resolution documentation (up to 17.3 mega pixels) as well as high-speed imaging for live views. The advanced interface enables excellent color reproduction and no visible color shifts during sample movement.

Image Analysis Software

OLYMPUS Stream imaging software offers all the tools required to undertake simple 2D measurements through complex analysis in an easy to use environment and supports a multitude of operations including observation, report generation, database creation, and archiving. The SZX16 motorized focus drive makes digital documentation efficient and fully automatic with extended focal imaging (EFI). EFI enables users to easily create pseudo-3D images.

Olympus offers a complete line up of digital cameras and analysis/measurement software. Your Olympus representative will help you choose which products best meet your requirements.

Ergonomics

Work Comfortably and Productively

Natural Posture, Reduced Stress, and Increased Productivity

The ergonomic long tilting trinocular provides an optimized work position by bringing the microscope closer to the user while the extendable eyepoint adjuster provides flexibility for users of different heights. The SZX series’ ergonomic instruments reduce stress during observation by providing the most comfortable position for each user, increasing work efficiency.

Convergence Angle in Tube Relieves Eyestrain

Olympus research established a correlation between stereo microscope optical systems and eyestrain. Certain convergence angles between the left and right optical paths can cause discomfort. The SZX2 series is designed with a convergence angle that completely compensates for each optical path. This solution effectively eliminates eyestrain, even during prolonged observation.

Ergonomic Zoom and Focus Knobs for Fatigue-free Use

The position of the zoom knob, size and position of the coarse/fine focusing knob, and the fine focus stroke are designed for easy operation. The enhanced fine focus stroke results in easy and precise focusing.

Slim Design Illumination Stand for Easy Access to Samples

Illumination stands are designed to be easy to use and fatigue-free. The slim LED transmitted light illumination stand, at approximately 40 mm in height, features easily adjustable fingertip illumination control and provides easy access to samples.
