AZPS0850 Parallel Optical Stereo Microscope

The AZPS0850 is a parallel optical stereo microscope with a 0.8X to 5X continuous zoom body, supplied with a 1X plane objective and 10X high eye point wide field eyepiece.

Product Overview

The AZPS0850 is a parallel optical stereo microscope with a 0.8X to 5X continuous zoom body, supplied with a 1X plane objective and 10X high eye point wide field eyepiece. It provides a standard total magnification range of 8X to 50X, extendable to 225X with optional accessories. The 91mm working distance allows space for tools during precision tasks, and the orthoscopic image delivers a large depth of field for clear focus across the entire work area. The binocular or trinocular head supports both direct observation and camera integration.

  • Zoom ratio0.8X~5X continuous
  • Body magnification range0.8X~5X
  • Standard total magnification8X~50X
  • Maximum total magnification225X
  • Objective1X Plane objective

Key Benefits

  • 91mm working distance allows room for tweezers, probes, soldering tools or micro-handling equipment under the optics
  • 0.8X to 5X continuous zoom covers both locating a component and inspecting fine details without changing objectives
  • Orthoscopic image with large depth of field keeps the entire work surface in focus at all magnifications
  • Binocular or trinocular head configuration supports both direct observation and camera attachment
  • Optional auxiliary objectives and eyepieces extend magnification to 225X for fine inspection tasks

Application Scenarios

  • Jewellery and watchmaking assembly where hands work under the optics with tools and components
  • Micro-electronics and semiconductor inspection requiring a clear, flat field of view and long working distance
  • BGA rework and SMD placement where a soldering iron or hot air pencil must fit under the head
  • Teaching or training in precision handling techniques using a shared monitor image
  • Laboratory inspection of biological specimens, minerals or small mechanical parts with consistent depth of field

Who It Is For

  • Jewellery, watchmaking and precision assembly workshops
  • Electronics manufacturers doing SMD and BGA rework and inspection
  • Teaching labs in technical colleges and vocational schools
  • Research and quality control labs in micro-electronics and semiconductor fields
  • Gemologists and mineralogists requiring a stable, flat image with long working distance

Problems It Solves

  • Short working distance microscopes prevent the use of tools like soldering irons or probes under the optics
  • Fixed magnification stands require objective changes when moving from locating to inspecting
  • Non-orthoscopic systems produce distorted or curved images at the edges, reducing inspection accuracy
  • Lack of trinocular capability forces operators to choose between observation and documentation
  • No continuous zoom requires multiple objectives to cover a range, increasing setup time and cost

Technical Features

  • Parallel optical system ensures consistent stereo depth perception across the zoom range
  • Continuous 0.8X to 5X zoom body magnification allows smooth transition between low and high magnification
  • 1X plane achromatic objective with 91mm working distance provides a flat, distortion-free image
  • High eye point wide field eyepieces (10X, Φ22mm) reduce eye strain and allow use with glasses
  • Interpupillary adjustment 52mm to 76mm accommodates different user eye spacing
  • Diopter adjustment ±6 Diopter compensates for differences between left and right eyes
  • Focus range 50mm (track stand: 100mm) allows depth control for varying specimen heights
  • Trinocular beam splitter PS-T (100% left, 0% right) or PS-T1 (50% left, 50% right) supports camera attachment with adjustable light distribution

Customization Options

  • Choose between binocular (AZPS0850) or trinocular (AZPS0850T) head configuration
  • Add optional 0.5X, 0.7X or 1.5X auxiliary objectives to adjust working distance and magnification
  • Upgrade to higher magnification eyepieces (SWF15X, SWF20X, SWF30X) or divisional eyepieces
  • Attach a trinocular beam splitter (PS-T or PS-T1) for camera integration
  • Select from a range of stands (SD1-SD18, U-series) or mechanical stages (S7665, S10086) as needed

Comparison With Other Options

AZPS0850 without trinocular headThe AZPS0850T adds a trinocular head with beam splitter options, enabling camera attachment while maintaining full eyepiece observation, which the binocular version does not support.
Greenough stereo microscopeThe parallel optical system provides a flat, orthoscopic image with no image curvature; a Greenough system may show slight distortion at the edges, especially at higher magnifications.
Fixed magnification stereo microscopeThe AZPS0850's 0.8X to 5X continuous zoom eliminates the need to swap objectives when moving between locating and inspecting, reducing setup time and mechanical wear.

Use Guide

  • Adjust interpupillary distance between 52mm and 76mm before focusing to ensure both eyes see a single merged image
  • Use the diopter adjustment to compensate for differences between left and right eye vision before focusing
  • Start focusing at the highest magnification, then zoom out to maintain focus across the full zoom range
  • When using a mechanical stage, confirm the stand has the required screw holes; otherwise, a custom stand modification is needed
  • For camera use, connect the digital camera adapter (DT01 or PT02) to the trinocular port and ensure the beam splitter is set to allow light to the eyepiece

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the working distance under the standard 1X objective?

91mm. With optional 0.5X or 0.7X objectives, the working distance increases to 186mm and 135mm respectively.

Can I use this microscope for soldering or micro-handling?

Yes. The 91mm standard working distance allows space for a soldering iron, tweezers or probe under the optics.

Does the trinocular version support camera attachment?

Yes. The AZPS0850T includes a trinocular head with beam splitters PS-T (100% left) or PS-T1 (50% left, 50% right) for camera integration.

What magnification can I reach with optional parts?

Standard: 8X-50X. With 1.5X auxiliary objective and 10X eyepiece: up to 225X.

Can I use a mechanical stage with this microscope?

Yes. Mechanical stages S7665 and S10086 are compatible, but the stand must have pre-drilled screw holes; otherwise, a custom stand modification is required.

What camera adapters are available?

Available adapters include C0.3-S, C0.5-S, C1.0-S, DT01, PT02, and CDM1.0 (with micrometer).
