XSZ6745 1.5X Stereo Microscope Barlow Lens
The XSZ6745 is a 1.5X Barlow lens designed for use with stereo microscopes. It increases the effective magnification of the objective lens by 1.5 times without changing the working distance.

Product Overview
The XSZ6745 is a 1.5X Barlow lens designed for use with stereo microscopes. It increases the effective magnification of the objective lens by 1.5 times without changing the working distance. It fits standard 23mm optical tubes and is used to extend the magnification range of a microscope for detailed inspection tasks.
- Magnification1.5X
- Optical systemGreenough
- Effect on working distanceNo change
- Image typeStereo
- ApplicationMagnification extension for inspection tasks
Key Benefits
- Increases magnification by 1.5X without reducing working distance
- Maintains stereo depth perception when used with Greenough optical systems
- Fits standard 23mm diameter optical tubes on stereo microscopes
- Allows inspection of fine features without replacing the objective or stand
- Provides a cost-effective way to extend magnification range without new hardware
Application Scenarios
- Inspecting fine solder joints on PCBs with a 1X objective and 100mm working distance
- Examining surface details on small electronic components without moving the part
- Enhancing magnification for quality control in watchmaking or jewellery assembly
- Extending the usable range of a stereo microscope for high-magnification tasks
- Using with a digital camera to capture higher magnification images without changing the camera setup
Who It Is For
- Electronics manufacturers doing PCB, SMD and BGA rework and inspection
- Jewellery, watchmaking and precision assembly workshops
- Quality control labs requiring higher magnification without changing setup
- Teaching labs needing to demonstrate fine details without altering equipment
- Micro-mechanical and optical component inspection teams
Problems It Solves
- A fixed magnification objective limits the ability to inspect fine features without changing the objective
- Requiring a new objective or stand to increase magnification adds cost and setup time
- Loss of working distance when switching to a higher magnification objective
- Inability to use a digital camera at higher magnification without reconfiguring the optical path
- Lack of a low-cost option to extend magnification range without purchasing new components
Technical Features
- 1.5X magnification factor
- Designed for use with stereo microscopes with 23mm optical tubes
- Maintains stereo image quality when used with Greenough optical systems
- No change in working distance when applied
- Compatible with standard microscope heads and camera systems

Customization Options
- Available as a standalone component for integration into existing microscope setups
- Can be used with any stereo microscope that has a 23mm optical tube
- No configuration required beyond mounting on the optical tube
Comparison With Other Options
| Replacing the objective lens with a higher magnification one | The Barlow lens maintains the same working distance and optical alignment, while a new objective changes the working distance and may require re-focusing or stand adjustment. |
|---|---|
| Using a higher magnification eyepiece alone | A Barlow lens increases magnification at the objective level, preserving the full field of view and depth perception, whereas a higher eyepiece alone may reduce field of view and increase eye strain. |
| Using a digital microscope with fixed magnification | The Barlow lens extends the magnification range of a physical stereo microscope without replacing the entire system, offering more flexibility than a fixed digital unit. |
Use Guide
- Ensure the microscope has a 23mm optical tube before mounting the Barlow lens
- Screw the Barlow lens into the optical tube just below the eyepiece or camera adapter
- Check that the image remains in focus across the zoom range after installation
- Use with a 1X objective to achieve 1.5X magnification; combine with other objectives for higher effective magnification
- Do not over-tighten the lens; hand-tighten only to avoid damaging the optical tube

What is the magnification increase provided by this Barlow lens?
It provides a 1.5X increase in magnification of the objective lens.
Does this lens change the working distance?
No. The working distance remains unchanged when the Barlow lens is used.
Which microscopes is this lens compatible with?
It is compatible with stereo microscopes that have a 23mm optical tube.
Can I use this lens with a digital camera?
Yes. It can be used with a digital camera mounted on the microscope, as long as the optical tube is 23mm.
Is this lens suitable for use with a trinocular head?
Yes. It fits into the optical tube of a trinocular head as long as the tube diameter is 23mm.
Do I need to recalibrate the microscope after installing the lens?
No recalibration is required. The lens maintains optical alignment and focus across the zoom range.
