A new dimension in image clarity
A new dimension in image clarity
Unprecedented depth and sharp images
dramatically enhance efficiency for a variety
of tasks including specimen manipulation.
Multi-wave length, astigmatism-free design for sharp 3D observation.
New standards in image clarity begin with this design.
Sharp, detailed observation of specimens
Newly designed SDF objective lenses keep astigmatism to a
minimum. This effectively eliminates image deforming at
pre- and post-focal plane and thus the depth of field is
perceived as deeper than before. These design features
enable stress-free use of forceps in the field of view during
live sample selection and acquisition. SZX2 puts power into
action for long-time observation. When these objectives are
combined with the newly developed transmitted light
illumination base, clear observation is even possible for
transparent specimens where contrast is low. Oversights are
thus minimized for specimen selection, dissection, and
manipulation.
Optical performance with less fatigue
A 360º view of balanced images is made possible by
accommodating vertical and horizontal parameters.
Discomfort in the eyes and body, as well as stress from
prolonged observation or operation, is effectively eliminated.
Integration of apochromatic system
The apochromatic system — integrated into observation tubes,
zoom body, and objectives — eliminates chromatic aberration
throughout the zoom range and ensure excellent image quality
without chromatic blur.
SZX16: new optics for equally easy handling of thick specimens
Obtaining a lucid visual perspective, such as a clear feel for dimension, is essential for manipulation of thick specimens like
eggs or embryos. The latest proprietary SZX16 delivers the images needed for observation of such specimens. 3D observation
images from surface to interior are also particularly effective in the dissection and manipulation of live specimens.

Astigmatism effects greater
deforming of the image at
pre- and post-focal plane.
As deforming of the image at
pre- and post-focal plane is
kept to a minimum, the eye can
focus around the point the user
wants to observe. Thus depth
of field is perceived as deeper.
Depth of field seen in focal plane will vary according to individual differences in users’ vision.
Previous model
“Multi-wave length astigmatism-free”: a new design effectively eliminating image-deforming
aberration and enabling remarkably sharp 3D imaging and dramatically enhanced specimen
manipulation. Also, with an apochromatic lens system that effectively reduces chromatic aberration,
the latest proprietary SZX 16 optical system provides sharp 3D observation images of various
specimens.
