Ergonomic design for user-friendly base
Wide working space and high NA
SZX2 responds well to a variety of specimens and operations from large specimens like mice to small ones like zebra
fish, nematode or drosophilia eggs because of the effective combination of high numerical aperture and wide working
space. Moreover, the transmitted light illumination base is newly designed thin (only 41mm) to provide a wide working
space and allow various users to work comfortably.
Operability configured as a whole-system characteristic. Design is focused
not only on WD and NA, but also on a stage that is slim.

2x objectives with ease of access and correction collar
WD60mm and NA0.15 from the 1x objective
With a slim design of 41mm — approximately half that of conventional models
— the SZX16 transmitted light illumination base has a lower height to enable
a low eyepoint and easy access to base-mounted samples during observation
and operation. The world’s first LED 4-position turret enables contrast
adjustment between brightfield, oblique, and darkfield illumination with a
simple turn. This makes the SZX16 the all-in-one microscope for various
samples and observation tasks. Another advantage of LED illumination is
keeping down the temperature of the base surface, which is suitable for long-
time manipulation of live specimens. Power consumption is about half that of
a conventional 30W Halogen light source. A life cycle of over 10,000 hours
significantly reduces operation costs.
This unit provides effective contrast from
oblique illumination and easily selected
“High” and “low” contrast settings. Light
volume and color temperature are adjusted by
means of built-in filters (LBD/ND). It also has a
cooling fan to prevent overheating of the base
surface.
The 1x objective has a WD (60mm) that gives the user room to move
and an NA (0.15) that meets the needs of advanced research. Also
available are 0.8x objectives that have a longer WD of 81mm, which
provides not only a larger working space between objective lenses and
sample but also a total magnification of 5.6x-92x (using WHN10x-H).
Offering a wide working space in which users can place several Petri dishes, these illumination bases have an ergonomic,
beveled design for users to work comfortably and naturally.
A highly flexible design assures a wide access angle to objectives with the
highest NA (0.3) for specimen selection. An additional correction collar can
adjust image quality independently of the specimen — a first in
stereomicroscopes.
Transmitted light illumination base (SZX2-ILLK)
This base enables darkfield observation under illumination
twice as bright as conventional models. Flat and thin
specimens like brain tissue slices are vividly displayed on a
black background. A cooling fan prevents the illumination base
surface from overheating.
Offering outstanding cost-efficient performance, this
illumination base uses oblique illumination to provide high-
contrast images of transparent specimens.
