SMZ-172

Motic SMZ172 Series is a zoom stereomicroscope designed for high-quality stereoscopic imaging across various industrial and scientific applications. It utilizes a Greenough optical system and offers a balance of ergonomic design and flexible illumination. Descriptions Motic SMZ172 Series is a high-performance Greenough-style zoom stereomicroscope designed to deliver superior stereoscopic imaging for both professional and industrial use. It is characterized by its high resolution, true-to-life color reproduction, and an expansive field of view that provides a strong three-dimensional effect. Key product features Optical Precision: The system features a 1:6.7 zoom ratio with continuously adjustable magnification ranging from 0.75X to 5.0X in its standard configuration. When equipped with optional accessories, the system can reach a maximum magnification of 200X. Ergonomic Design: To support long-term laboratory or industrial work, the SMZ172 is built with a 45-degree observation angle and an eyepoint height of 370 mm, specifically designed to reduce physical strain on the user's neck and shoulders. Versatile Illumination: The microscope includes both reflective and transmitted light sources. It offers multiple lighting modes, including integrated vertical, oblique, and incident illumination. Specialized options such as dual gooseneck illuminators for varied shadow effects and segmented LED ring lights for shadow-free circular lighting are also available. Adaptability: A wide range of accessories, including auxiliary objectives (0.3X to 2.0X), various polarizers, and specialized gemological tools, allow the SMZ172 to be customized for diverse routine and specialized applications. Safety: The unit is equipped with Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection, making it safe for use in sensitive electronic manufacturing environments. Comprehensive Application Fields The SMZ172 series is highly adaptable, serving a broad spectrum of industries and scientific disciplines: Electronics & Semiconductors: Used for external inspection and detailed failure analysis of components. Automotive & Energy: Applied in fracture observation and dimensional measurement for automotive parts, as well as appearance observation and measurement for the lithium battery industry. Precision Manufacturing: Ideal for micro-assembly and repair work, particularly in the horology (watchmaking) industry. Gemology & Jewelry: Specifically suited for gemstone inspection, including the identification of inclusions, cracks, and treated characteristics (such as clarity enhancement) using specialized darkfield illuminators, gem clamps, and immersion cells. Biological & Medical Sciences: Utilized in biology, medicine, veterinary medicine, parasitology, botany, entomology, and marine biology. Forensics & Earth Sciences: Used for criminal investigation, forensic science, geology, and paleontology. Material Science: Employs polarized light interference to observe the optical properties of both transparent and opaque thin-section specimens, such as minerals and heterogeneous materials.
