Nikon today announced the release of SMZ1270, a stereo microscope 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 newly redesigned optics and advanced features, these new stereo microscopes provide incredible optical performance and enhanced operability, enabling researchers to carry out high-magnification, large-zoom-ratio and high-definition imaging with ease. The clarity of the images and improved ease of use will benefit researchers in a variety of fields, from medical to industrial.
Nikon stereo microscopes SMZ1270, SMZ1270i and SMZ800N are equipped with newly developed zoom optical systems. The SMZ1270 and SMZ1270i offer the highest-in-class zoom ratio of 12.7x (0.63 – 8x). Their low-magnification capability enables observation of a whole 35 mm dish in a single field of view4. The large zoom range enables seamless viewing, from minute cellular structures to large biological specimens. The SMZ800N comes with an 8x (1 – 8x) zoom ratio, with magnification levels higher than those offered by conventional models. It is a powerful tool in the field of electronics, where high-precision imaging is required.
