STL8 Stereo Microscope Pole Stand

Key Benefits

• 355mm vertical travel allows the microscope head to be raised or lowered to suit different operator heights or workbench levels
• 265mm horizontal movement enables the head to be positioned over any part of the work area
• 32mm diameter vertical post provides stable support for the microscope head and focusing mount
• A3 focusing mount is built into the stand, so the head can be secured without additional adapters
• Large base (380x280x10mm) ensures stability during extended use or when handling heavier microscope heads

Application Scenarios

• Adjusting the microscope height and position during SMD rework on a crowded bench
• Positioning the head over a large PCB or component for inspection from multiple angles
• Setting up a shared inspection station where multiple operators need access from different positions
• Mounting a stereo microscope on a workbench with limited space for a standard stand
• Using the stand in a teaching lab where the head must be moved between students or demonstration points

Who It Is For

• Electronics rework and inspection benches requiring flexible head positioning
• Teaching laboratories where the microscope must be moved between students or demonstration stations
• Quality inspection stations handling large or irregularly shaped components
• Precision assembly workshops needing repeated access to the same work area from different angles
• Research labs where the microscope must be repositioned frequently during sample preparation

Problems It Solves

• Fixed stands limit the reach and angle of the microscope head, forcing the operator to move the workpiece instead
• Lack of vertical adjustment makes it difficult to accommodate different operator heights or bench configurations
• Small base designs tip easily when the head is extended or tilted, especially with heavier optics
• No integrated focusing mount requires extra adapters or clamps, increasing setup time and risk of misalignment
• Inadequate horizontal travel prevents the head from reaching all areas of a large workbench or fixture

Technical Features

• Vertical post height: 355mm
• Horizontal movement range: 265mm
• Post diameter: 32mm
• Base size: 380mm x 280mm x 10mm
• Integrated A3 focusing mount for secure head attachment
• Stable base design with low center of gravity
• No moving parts other than the mounting joint, reducing maintenance needs
• Designed for use with stereo microscope heads and focusing mounts

Specifications

Customization Options

• Available in standard configuration with A3 focusing mount
• Can be supplied without the focusing mount if the user has a different mounting system
• Powder coating color can be changed upon request (standard black only in source text)
• Base size can be adjusted for custom footprint if required

Comparison With Other Options

Use Guide

• Ensure the base is placed on a flat, stable surface before mounting the microscope head
• Check that the A3 focusing mount is securely clamped before use
• Adjust the vertical height and horizontal position before securing the head to avoid misalignment
• Do not exceed 5kg of total weight on the stand to prevent instability
• Clean the post and clamp with a dry cloth regularly to maintain smooth movement
