Key Benefits
- Dovetail rack focusing mechanism ensures smooth and repeatable vertical movement
- 50mm vertical working distance allows clearance for tools, samples or illumination under the head
- 24.5mm internal diameter fits standard microscope heads or optical components
- Plane frame construction provides rigidity and alignment stability
- Compatible with microscope bodies having a 76mm pole diameter, ensuring secure mounting
Application Scenarios
- Mounting a stereo microscope head on a stand with a 76mm pole diameter
- Installing a focusing mount for a custom inspection setup in a production line
- Reconfiguring a bench-top microscope for a new optical head or camera adapter
- Using the mount as a base for a secondary inspection station with a fixed working distance
- Supporting a cold light source or ring light with a stable, adjustable mount
Who It Is For
- Electronics manufacturers setting up inspection benches with custom microscope configurations
- Laboratories reusing existing microscope stands with new optical heads
- Engineering teams building modular inspection systems for precision assembly
- Educational institutions adapting older microscope bodies for new teaching setups
- Workshops requiring a stable, repeatable mounting solution for inspection tools
Problems It Solves
- A loose or unstable mount can cause misalignment during inspection or focus drift
- Lack of vertical adjustment limits the ability to position the head at the correct height
- Incompatible mounting interfaces prevent the use of standard microscope heads on non-standard stands
- Fixed-height mounts do not allow for tool clearance under the optics during rework
- Poor mechanical stability leads to image shift when adjusting focus or moving the head
Technical Features
- Plane frame design with dovetail rack focusing mechanism
- Vertical working distance of 50mm
- Internal diameter of 24.5mm for mounting components
- Designed for microscope bodies with a 76mm pole diameter
- Smooth rack-and-pinion focusing action for precise vertical control

- Can be adapted for use with other pole diameters if mechanical modifications are made
- Compatible with standard stereo microscope heads and optical components
- Available for integration into OEM configurations with custom mounting brackets
Comparison With Other Options
| Standard fixed-height mount | The A2 mount adds vertical focusing via a dovetail rack, allowing height adjustment without repositioning the entire head or stand. |
|---|---|
| Threaded focusing mount | The dovetail rack system offers smoother, more precise vertical movement compared to threaded focus mechanisms, reducing backlash and wear. |
| Non-rack focusing mount | The A2's rack mechanism provides consistent force and repeatability across the full 50mm travel, unlike friction-based or spring-loaded mounts. |
Use Guide
- Ensure the microscope body has a 76mm pole diameter before mounting
- Align the dovetail rail with the mount's slot and secure with the locking mechanism
- Adjust the vertical focus using the rack knob; turn clockwise to raise, counterclockwise to lower
- Check for smooth movement and no binding before attaching a head or accessory
- Use the 50mm working distance to maintain clearance for tools or sample holders under the optics
