Stereo Microscope Focusing Mount

A3 Stereo Microscope Focusing Mount

The A3 Focusing Mount is a component-level accessory for stereo microscopes, designed to fit a microscope body with a 16mm mounting diameter and 76mm internal diameter.

Product Overview

The A3 Focusing Mount is a component-level accessory for stereo microscopes, designed to fit a microscope body with a 16mm mounting diameter and 76mm internal diameter. It provides vertical focusing with a 50mm working distance, allowing precise control of the objective height during inspection tasks. The mount is compatible with standard stereo microscope bodies and supports interchangeable objectives and illumination systems.

  • Focusing typeVertical
  • CompatibilityMicroscope bodies with 76mm internal diameter
  • Mounting standard16mm diameter

Key Benefits

  • 50mm vertical working distance allows clearance for tools, samples and lighting under the microscope head
  • 16mm mounting diameter fits standard stereo microscope bodies with 76mm internal diameter
  • Vertical focusing mechanism enables smooth, repeatable height adjustment during inspection
  • Component-level design allows integration into custom microscope configurations or stand upgrades
  • Compatible with A4 focusing mount and other standard stereo microscope bodies for interchangeability

Application Scenarios

  • Mounting on a custom-built stereo microscope stand for precision inspection in electronics rework
  • Replacing a worn focusing mount on a legacy stereo microscope body without replacing the entire head
  • Integrating into a configuration-to-order stand where the focusing mechanism must be matched to the body
  • Using in a teaching lab where multiple students need consistent focusing height across identical setups
  • Supporting a cold light source or ring light below the head with the 50mm working distance

Who It Is For

  • Electronics manufacturers doing SMD and BGA rework with custom microscope stands
  • Universities and teaching labs maintaining or upgrading stereo microscope components
  • Laboratories requiring component-level replacement parts for legacy microscope bodies
  • Precision assembly workshops building or modifying inspection stations
  • OEMs configuring microscope stands with standardized focusing mechanisms

Problems It Solves

  • A broken or worn focusing mount forces the entire microscope head to be replaced instead of just the mechanism
  • Lack of vertical adjustment in fixed mounts prevents consistent focus across different sample heights
  • Incompatible mounting diameters between new and old microscope bodies prevent component reuse
  • No standardization in focusing mechanisms leads to inconsistent setup times across inspection stations
  • Limited working distance in some mounts restricts the use of tools or lighting under the optics

Customization Options

  • Available in standard A3 configuration with 50mm working distance
  • Compatible with A4 focusing mount (45mm working distance) for different height needs
  • Can be integrated into OEM or configuration-to-order microscope assemblies
  • Designed for direct fit on bodies with 76mm internal diameter

Comparison With Other Options

A4 Focusing MountThe A3 provides a 50mm vertical working distance; the A4 offers 45mm. Choose based on clearance needs for tools or lighting under the head.
Fixed-height mounting plateThe A3 allows vertical focusing; a fixed plate does not, limiting sample height flexibility.
Full microscope standThe A3 is a component-level mount; it does not include a base, column or illumination, so it is used only when integrating into a larger system.

Use Guide

  • Ensure the microscope body has a 76mm internal diameter before installing the A3 mount
  • Align the 16mm mounting diameter with the body's mounting flange and secure with the provided fasteners
  • Use the vertical focusing knob to adjust the objective height; the 50mm working distance allows room for tools and lighting
  • Verify that the mount moves smoothly without binding; lubrication is not required unless specified
  • Check compatibility with any attached objectives or illumination systems before full use
Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the working distance of the A3 focusing mount?

50mm. This is the vertical distance from the objective lens to the sample surface when fully lowered.

Is the A3 mount compatible with all stereo microscope bodies?

No. It is designed for bodies with a 76mm internal diameter and a 16mm mounting diameter.

Can I use the A3 mount with a cold light source or ring light?

Yes. The 50mm working distance provides clearance for lighting systems below the head.

What is the difference between the A3 and A4 focusing mounts?

The A3 has a 50mm working distance; the A4 has a 45mm working distance. Choose based on your clearance needs.

Does the A3 mount include a focusing knob?

Yes. It includes a vertical focusing mechanism with a standard focusing knob for height adjustment.

Can I replace a broken focusing mount with the A3?

Yes. If your microscope body has a 76mm internal diameter and 16mm mounting diameter, the A3 is a direct replacement.
