Nikon Metrology has released three stereo-microscopes: SMZ1270, with the largest zoom ratio in its class; SMZ1270i, a version of SMZ1270 with intelligent features; and SMZ800N with enhanced optics and operability.
With their redesigned optics and advanced features, the SMZ series stereo-microscopes are said to enable researchers to carry out high magnification, large zoom ratio and high definition imaging with ease. The clarity of the images and improved user friendliness will benefit operators in a variety of fields, from medical to industrial, says Nikon.
Stereo-microscopes have independent optical trains for the right and left eye paths, and thus naturally extend intrinsic stereoscopic viewing capability. In industrial applications, these instruments are used for research, development and quality control.
