AZDA1490 High-Contrast Coaxial Illumination Micoscope
The AZDA1490 is a monocular video microscope with coaxial LED illumination, designed for high-contrast inspection of flat, reflective and low-reflectivity surfaces.

Product Overview
The AZDA1490 is a monocular video microscope with coaxial LED illumination, designed for high-contrast inspection of flat, reflective and low-reflectivity surfaces. It provides 1.4X to 9X zoom with a 103mm working distance and supports simultaneous visual observation through eyepieces and video display. The optical system delivers a large depth of field and high definition, making it suitable for inspecting LCDs, chips, wafers and planar printed components. The binocular (ZDA1490BC) and trinocular (ZDA1490BTC) configurations allow both direct viewing and camera capture at the same time.

Key Benefits
- Coaxial LED illumination delivers high brightness and consistent lighting on both high and low reflectivity surfaces
- 103mm working distance allows tools and fixtures to remain under the head during inspection
- Simultaneous visual and video output enables real-time observation and documentation
- Large depth of field improves focus stability across uneven or layered surfaces
- 1.4X to 9X zoom range covers locating, alignment and detailed inspection without changing objectives
Application Scenarios
- Inspecting LCD panels for defects with both reflective and non-reflective areas under the same illumination
- Checking planar printed circuit boards for solder bridges, missing pads or misaligned components
- Examining semiconductor wafers and chips where surface reflectivity varies across the sample
- Documenting inspection results with a digital camera while a technician observes through the eyepiece
- Performing quality checks on precision flat components in electronics, optics or materials science
Who It Is For
- Electronics manufacturers inspecting PCBs, LCDs and semiconductor components
- Quality control labs requiring consistent lighting on mixed-reflectivity surfaces
- Research labs working with planar materials such as wafers, thin films or printed electronics
- Production lines where both visual and digital records are needed for traceability
- Teaching labs demonstrating surface inspection techniques on flat, high-contrast samples
Problems It Solves
- Flat surfaces with mixed reflectivity lose detail under standard illumination; coaxial LED maintains contrast across the entire surface
- Standard microscopes require switching between visual and camera views, slowing down inspection
- Short working distances prevent tool access during rework or alignment tasks
- Low depth of field causes frequent refocusing on uneven or layered samples
- Lack of simultaneous video and visual output forces separate equipment or delayed documentation

Comparison With Other Options
| AZDA1490 without coaxial illumination | The coaxial design ensures even lighting on both reflective and low-reflectivity surfaces, reducing glare and shadowing during inspection. |
|---|---|
| Standard stereo microscope with separate illumination | Coaxial illumination aligns the light path with the optical axis, improving contrast and depth of field on flat samples. |
| Digital microscope with fixed lens | The AZDA1490 offers variable zoom and interchangeable optics, allowing flexible magnification and working distance without changing the entire unit. |
Use Guide
- Adjust interpupillary distance between 52mm and 76mm before focusing to ensure merged binocular image
- Set the diopter on one eyepiece first, then focus with the other to avoid eye strain
- Use the 103mm working distance as a baseline; extend to 145mm or reduce to 35mm using auxiliary objectives
- Connect the camera via CCD adapter or digital camera adapter; ensure the adapter matches the sensor size
- For high-contrast surfaces like LCDs or wafers, use the coaxial LED illumination to minimize glare and shadow

Yes. The coaxial LED illumination is designed to deliver high contrast on both high-reflectivity (e.g. metal, glass) and low-reflectivity (e.g. solder, plastic) surfaces.
Does the camera need a separate power supply?
No. The camera is powered through the CCD adapter or digital camera adapter connected to the microscope.
What is the maximum magnification I can achieve?
With a 30X eyepiece and 2X auxiliary objective, the total magnification reaches 540X.
Can I install a mechanical stage?
Yes. The stand supports S7665 and S10086 mechanical stages; specify when ordering if required.
