XSZ6745 0.7X Stereo Microscope Barlow Lens

The XSZ6745 0.7X Barlow lens is an optical accessory for stereo microscopes that extends the working distance and reduces magnification.

Product Overview

The XSZ6745 0.7X Barlow lens is an optical accessory for stereo microscopes that extends the working distance and reduces magnification. It fits into the optical path between the objective and the eyepiece, allowing a standard 1X objective to deliver 0.7X magnification while increasing the working distance by approximately 43%. This enables operators to work with larger components or tools under the optics without interference.

  • Magnification factor0.7X
  • Optical systemGreenough
  • Mounting typeStandard optical tube interface
  • MaterialOptical glass and metal housing
  • Field of viewIncreases proportionally with magnification reduction
  • Stereo depthPreserved across full field

Key Benefits

  • Increases working distance by approximately 43% when used with a 1X objective
  • Reduces magnification to 0.7X, so larger areas can be viewed at once
  • Maintains stereo depth perception across the full field of view
  • Allows use of a soldering iron, probe or tool under the optics without obstruction
  • Compatible with standard stereo microscope bodies using 1X objectives

Application Scenarios

  • Inspecting large PCBs or assemblies where a standard working distance is too short
  • Performing rework on components with high-profile parts or connectors
  • Using a soldering iron or hot air pencil under the microscope without touching the optics
  • Working with large mechanical parts or moulded components in precision assembly
  • Enabling tool clearance during micro-soldering or wire bonding under the head

Who It Is For

  • Electronics rework and repair benches handling large or high-profile components
  • Precision assembly workshops in watchmaking, jewellery and micro-mechanics
  • Quality inspection teams working with large or bulky parts
  • Teaching labs where students need space for tools during hands-on sessions
  • Manufacturing lines requiring tool clearance during inspection of large assemblies

Problems It Solves

  • Standard 1X objectives have limited working distance, forcing operators to move tools out of the way
  • Lack of tool clearance under the optics leads to repeated repositioning or missed joints
  • Fixed magnification limits the ability to view both large areas and fine details without changing objectives
  • No optical solution exists to extend working distance without sacrificing stereo vision
  • Operators must use a separate low-magnification stand or switch to a different microscope

Technical Features

  • 0.7X magnification factor when used with a 1X objective
  • Designed for use in stereo microscope optical paths with standard 1X objectives
  • Maintains Greenough stereo optical system integrity
  • No moving parts; fixed optical alignment
  • Compatible with binocular and trinocular stereo microscope heads

Comparison With Other Options

Standard 1X objective without Barlow lensThe 0.7X Barlow increases working distance by 43% and reduces magnification, allowing tool clearance under the optics without changing objectives.
0.5X Barlow lensThe 0.7X Barlow provides less magnification reduction and less working distance increase than a 0.5X lens, but maintains a higher image brightness and field clarity.
Auxiliary 0.5X objectiveThe Barlow lens is a non-contact optical insert that does not require changing the objective; it preserves the original objective's focus and mounting.

Use Guide

  • Ensure the microscope is set to a 1X objective before installing the Barlow lens
  • Insert the Barlow lens into the optical path between the objective and the eyepiece
  • Check that the lens is fully seated and aligned to avoid image distortion
  • Focus the microscope at the new 0.7X magnification setting
  • Verify that the working distance has increased and that tools can now pass under the optics
Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the working distance increase with the XSZ6745 0.7X Barlow lens?

Approximately 43% when used with a 1X objective.

Can I use this Barlow lens with any stereo microscope?

Yes, as long as the microscope uses a 1X objective and has a standard optical tube interface.

Does the Barlow lens affect image quality?

No. It is designed with anti-reflective coated optical glass to maintain clarity and contrast.

Do I need to adjust the focus after installing the Barlow lens?

Yes. The focus point shifts slightly; refocus after installation to achieve sharp image.

Can I use this lens with a camera attached?

Yes. The Barlow lens fits in the optical path before the camera, so it affects both eyepiece and camera views.
