The **Optimum Stereo Zoom Microscope** stands as a robust, export-quality instrument, perfectly balancing high-end optical performance with institutional affordability. It features a versatile **0.7x to 4.5x zoom range**, translating to a **6.3:1 zoom ratio** that provides a wide, continuous spectrum of magnification suitable for various tasks, from detailed **biological dissection** to rigorous **material inspection** on a production line.
Key to its image fidelity are the **Achromatic Objectives**, ensuring clear images corrected for two wavelengths of light, and the generous **100 mm working distance** that provides ample space for specimen manipulation and tool use. This combination of optical clarity and practical space makes the Optimum an invaluable piece of **Educational Lab Equipment for Schools**, used extensively in **school science labs** and **chemistry classrooms** across the globe.
ESAW India ensures that this model meets **export-quality** standards, making it highly reliable for **industrial labs and global R&D centers**. It is the preferred choice for institutions undertaking **bulk procurement by education departments, distributors, and international resellers** looking for an **Affordable Optimum Stereo Zoom Microscope for Labs** that does not compromise on performance or durability.
1. What is the benefit of a Trinocular Head for this model?
The **trinocular head** includes a dedicated third port, allowing users to attach a digital microscope camera (like those found in our Microscope Cameras category) for image capture, documentation, and projection in classroom settings.
2. How does the 100 mm Working Distance help students?
The large **100 mm working distance** provides ample room beneath the objective for students to use dissection tools, tweezers, or move specimens freely, making it far safer and easier for hands-on biological and material science training.
3. Is this microscope suitable for use in industrial settings?
Yes. Its robust build, continuous zoom, and clear Achromatic Optics make it excellent for **industrial labs** and **quality control** applications, such as inspecting circuit boards, welding points, and checking for flaws in small manufactured parts.
4. Can this model handle both opaque and transparent specimens?
Absolutely. It features both **incident (top) and transmitted (bottom) illumination**. Incident light is used for opaque objects (like rocks or metal), while transmitted light is used for transparent objects (like prepared slides or thin samples).
