XLB45-B3 Digital Stereo Microscope

The XLB45-B3 is a digital stereo microscope with a 0.7X to 4.5X zoom range and a 100mm working distance, supplied with a standard 0.5X eyepiece and a 0.5X auxiliary lens.

Product Overview

The XLB45-B3 is a digital stereo microscope with a 0.7X to 4.5X zoom range and a 100mm working distance, supplied with a standard 0.5X eyepiece and a 0.5X auxiliary lens. It provides a 6.4:1 zoom ratio for continuous magnification from 0.35X to 2.25X in the standard configuration, allowing operators to locate components at low power and inspect fine details without changing objectives. The microscope supports connection to cameras and displays for real-time image capture and documentation.

  • Optical systemGreenough
  • Zoom ratio6.4:1
  • Magnification range0.7X-4.5X
  • Standard eyepiece0.5X
  • Standard auxiliary lens0.5X
  • Optional auxiliary lenses0.5X, 1.0X, 2.0X

Key Benefits

  • 100mm working distance allows space for soldering irons, tweezers or probes under the optics during inspection
  • 6.4:1 zoom ratio covers 0.7X to 4.5X without swapping objectives, reducing setup time
  • Standard 0.5X eyepiece and 0.5X auxiliary lens extend magnification to 0.35X-2.25X with a 23mm field of view at 0.35X
  • Optional auxiliary lenses (0.5X, 1.0X, 2.0X) adjust working distance between 30mm and 165mm
  • Can be connected to cameras and displays for live viewing and image capture without additional adapters

Application Scenarios

  • SMD rework at the bench with a soldering iron under the optics and live image on a monitor
  • Incoming inspection of small mechanical parts, connectors or moulded components
  • Documentation of solder joints, wire bonds or surface defects for quality reports
  • Teaching micro-assembly techniques using a shared screen instead of individual eyepieces
  • Jewellery or watchmaking assembly where hands work under the optics and the image is monitored

Who It Is For

  • Electronics repair and rework benches handling SMD and BGA components
  • Quality departments requiring image documentation for inspection records
  • Training rooms in electronics or precision engineering programs
  • Jewellery, watchmaking and micro-mechanical assembly workshops
  • Laboratories performing routine visual inspection of small parts

Problems It Solves

  • A fixed magnification microscope forces the operator to swap objectives between locating a fault and inspecting it
  • Short working distance instruments block access to tools like soldering irons or probes
  • Separate camera and microscope purchases often fail to match tube diameter or eyepiece field
  • No digital output means inspection results must be described instead of shown
  • Lack of optional auxiliary lenses limits working distance flexibility for different tasks

Technical Features

  • Greenough optical system provides true stereo depth perception across the zoom range
  • 0.7X to 4.5X zoom with a 6.4:1 ratio, allowing continuous magnification without objective changes
  • Standard 0.5X eyepiece and 0.5X auxiliary lens provide 0.35X to 2.25X magnification range
  • Working distance of 100mm standard, extendable to 30mm or 165mm with optional auxiliary lenses
  • Field of view ranges from 46mm at 0.1225X to 1.7mm at 3.15X, depending on configuration
  • XLB45-A1 focusing mount with 62mm vertical working distance and 50mm ID for lens attachment
  • Compatible with cameras and displays via standard interfaces, enabling live monitoring and capture

  • Attach cameras and displays via standard interfaces for image capture and live viewing
  • Select alternative stands from the stereo microscope stand range if needed

Comparison With Other Options

XLB45-B3 without auxiliary lensSame optics and working distance, but the standard 0.5X auxiliary lens extends the magnification range and field of view options
XLB45-B3 with 1.0X auxiliary lensThe 1.0X lens increases magnification but reduces working distance; choose based on whether you need more detail or more clearance
LCD digital microscopeAn LCD digital microscope provides only a screen view with no stereo depth; the XLB45-B3 maintains binocular depth perception for hand-guided work while adding digital output

Use Guide

  • Set the interpupillary distance to match your eyes before focusing to ensure a merged image
  • Start focusing at the highest magnification, then zoom out to maintain focus across the range
  • Use the 100mm standard working distance as a baseline when positioning tools and holders
  • Connect the camera to a USB or HDMI port; confirm interface compatibility before purchase
  • Expect variable frame rates depending on resolution and camera used; reduce resolution if smoother live video is needed
Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the standard working distance?

100mm. This can be adjusted to 30mm or 165mm using optional auxiliary lenses.

Can I use this microscope for soldering?

Yes. The 100mm working distance provides clearance for a soldering iron or hot air pencil during rework.

Does the camera need a separate power supply?

No. The camera can be powered through the same interface used for data transfer, such as USB or HDMI.

What magnification range is available with optional parts?

The standard range is 0.35X-2.25X. With optional eyepieces and auxiliary lenses, the range extends to 0.1225X-9X.

Can I connect a camera to this microscope?

Yes. The microscope can be connected to cameras and displays via standard interfaces for live viewing and image capture.

What auxiliary lenses are available?

Available auxiliary lenses are 0.5X, 1.0X, and 2.0X, which adjust working distance and magnification.
