SZX12 Parallel Light Zoom Stereo Microscope

Key Benefits

• 100mm working distance allows room for tweezers, probes, or tools under the optics during micro-assembly
• 0.7X to 4.5X zoom range covers both locating a component and inspecting a single joint without changing objectives
• Parallel optical system maintains consistent image orientation and depth perception across the zoom range
• Fixed 1X objective simplifies setup and reduces optical misalignment during long inspection sessions
• Flat field of view ensures uniform focus across the entire field at any magnification setting

Application Scenarios

• Jewellery repair and gem setting where tools must work under the optics
• Watchmaking assembly and inspection of tiny gears and springs
• Micro-assembly of electronic components in precision manufacturing
• Inspection of fine surface details in metal or plastic parts
• Teaching micro-assembly techniques in a vocational or technical training environment

Who It Is For

• Jewellery and watchmaking workshops requiring hands-on precision
• Micro-assembly lines in electronics and medical device manufacturing
• Technical training institutions teaching precision assembly and repair
• Quality control teams inspecting small mechanical parts with consistent depth perception
• Research labs performing manual micro-operations under magnification

Problems It Solves

• Fixed magnification microscopes require objective swaps to adjust scale, slowing down inspection
• Short working distance limits tool access under the optics during rework or assembly
• Stereo microscopes with variable focus objectives can shift alignment during zoom, causing image drift
• Non-parallel optical systems distort depth perception at higher magnifications
• Lack of a stable flat field forces repeated refocusing when moving across the work area

Technical Features

• Parallel optical system with fixed 1X objective for consistent depth and alignment
• 0.7X to 4.5X zoom ratio with a 1:6.4 magnification span across the range
• 100mm working distance maintained throughout the zoom range
• Flat field of view across the entire zoom range, minimizing focus shift
• Binocular head with interpupillary adjustment for operator comfort and handover
• Fixed objective design reduces mechanical drift and alignment issues
• No moving optical elements in the objective path, improving long-term stability

Comparison With Other Options

Use Guide

• Adjust the interpupillary distance between 55mm and 75mm before focusing to ensure a single merged image
• Start focusing at the highest magnification (4.5X), then zoom out to maintain focus across the range
• Keep the 100mm working distance in mind when positioning tools and workpieces on the bench
• Use coarse focus to bring the image into range, then fine focus for precise detail inspection
• Avoid touching the objective or head during zoom to prevent mechanical shift
