Advanced Stereo with Wide Zoom Ratio

Outstanding Optical Performance

SZX16’s optics, which include observation tubes, zoom body, and objectives, are fully apochromatic to reduce chromatic blur over the entire magnification range. The SDF (Super Depth of Focus) objectives can deliver clear, high-contrast images of virtually any specimen.

The maximum NA of 0.3 produces a resolution of 900 line pairs per millimeter, allowing clear visualization of fine microscopic cell and cell component structures. Such exceptional resolution and peerless magnification make work more efficient and precise, revealing more information from samples.

Wide 16.4:1 Zoom Ratio

The SZX16 boasts a wide zoom ratio of 16.4:1, enabling 7x-115x magnification with a 1x objective and up to 230x magnification with a 2x objective. This wide zoom range makes it suitable for many research applications, with low-magnification macro views for dissection and specimen manipulation and sharp high-magnification views for close observation of microstructures.

Practical Design for Advanced Research

Ample Working Space for Manipulation

Any manipulation under a microscope requires ample space between the top of the sample and the bottom of the objective for the tools. The objectives available for the SZX16 have a significant working distance, which enables the use of both manual and automated manipulation and injection tools. Moreover, since the front end of the high-magnification 1.6x and 2x objectives is tapered, the available movement range for the manipulator is significantly increased.
