STL5 Stereo Microscope Stand
The STL5 stand is a universal bracket arm system designed to support stereo microscope heads with a 380mm vertical travel and 420mm horizontal movement.

Product Overview
The STL5 stand is a universal bracket arm system designed to support stereo microscope heads with a 380mm vertical travel and 420mm horizontal movement. It features a 260x285mm base and a 37mm diameter column, with an A3-sized tray for tools and documents. The stand allows the microscope head to be positioned in any orientation, enabling hands-free operation during inspection, rework or documentation tasks.

- Column diameterφ37mm
- Base size260x285mm
- Tray sizeA3
- Mounting interfaceUniversal bracket arms
Key Benefits
- 380mm vertical travel allows the microscope head to be raised or lowered for operator comfort and access to large or tall workpieces
- 420mm horizontal movement enables the head to be positioned over any part of the work area without repositioning the object
- 37mm diameter column provides stable support for stereo microscope heads across a range of weights
- A3-sized tray fits standard engineering drawings, inspection sheets and small tools, reducing the need to reach for documents
- Universal bracket arms accept a variety of stereo microscope heads and accessories, so the same stand can be reconfigured for different tasks
Application Scenarios
- SMD rework bench where the operator needs to move the microscope head over a large PCB and keep tools within reach
- Incoming inspection station where multiple parts are laid out on a large tray and require close examination from different angles
- Teaching lab where a demonstration object is moved across the A3 tray and the microscope head follows without repositioning
- Quality inspection line where the same stand is used for both high-magnification and low-magnification inspection tasks
- Jewellery or watchmaking workshop where the operator adjusts the head position to work on a small component while keeping a magnifier or tweezers in view
Who It Is For
- Electronics repair and rework benches handling SMD and BGA work
- Quality control departments performing visual inspection of large or irregularly shaped parts
- Teaching labs in engineering and electronics programs
- Precision assembly workshops in jewellery, watchmaking and micro-mechanics
- Laboratories requiring flexible positioning for repeated or multi-step inspection tasks
Problems It Solves
- Fixed stands limit the range of motion, forcing the operator to move the workpiece instead of the microscope head
- Lack of a built-in tray requires separate tool or document holders, increasing clutter and reducing workflow efficiency
- Inflexible mounting systems prevent the use of different microscope heads on the same stand
- Short vertical travel forces the operator to strain or reposition the entire workstation
- No horizontal movement means the operator must reposition the workpiece to access different areas
Technical Features
- Vertical travel: 380mm
- Horizontal movement: 420mm
- Column diameter: φ37mm
- Base size: 260x285mm
- A3-sized tray included
- Universal bracket arms for mounting stereo microscope heads
- Stable support for microscope heads with standard mounting interfaces
- Adjustable positioning in all directions for ergonomic access

Customization Options
- Mounting interface can be adapted to accept different stereo microscope head types
- Tray size can be changed to fit A4 or larger formats upon request
- Column height can be modified for taller or shorter working distances
- Base can be extended or reinforced for use on uneven or unstable surfaces
Comparison With Other Options
| Fixed-height stand | The STL5 allows vertical and horizontal movement, so the microscope head can be repositioned without moving the workpiece or the operator |
|---|---|
| Compact desktop stand | The STL5 has a larger base and greater travel range, making it suitable for larger work areas and multiple operators |
| Standalone microscope with built-in stand | The STL5 is a standalone accessory that can be paired with any stereo microscope head, offering flexibility across different models and inspection tasks |
Use Guide
- Ensure the base is placed on a flat, stable surface before mounting the microscope head
- Adjust the vertical and horizontal position to match the operator's eye level and workpiece location
- Use the A3 tray to hold inspection sheets, tools or small parts during operation
- Check that all locking knobs are tightened after positioning to prevent drift during use
- Avoid overloading the column; the stand is designed for standard stereo microscope heads only

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum vertical travel of the STL5 stand?
380mm. This allows the microscope head to be raised or lowered for operator comfort and access to tall or large workpieces.
Can I use this stand with any stereo microscope head?
Yes. The STL5 has universal bracket arms that accept standard stereo microscope heads with compatible mounting interfaces.
Is the A3 tray removable?
The tray is fixed to the stand and not removable, but it can be used to hold documents, tools or small parts during inspection.
What is the column diameter?
37mm. This provides a stable base for mounting stereo microscope heads and supports typical working loads.
Can I extend the horizontal movement beyond 420mm?
No. The horizontal movement is fixed at 420mm. Custom extensions are not available in the current product line.
Does the stand require assembly?
Yes. The stand arrives in parts and requires basic assembly using the included hardware and tools.
