XSZ7045 1.5X Stereo Microscope Barlow Lens

The XSZ7045 1.5X Stereo Microscope Barlow Lens is a component-level accessory designed to increase magnification and extend working distance when used with a stereo microscope.

Product Overview

The XSZ7045 1.5X Stereo Microscope Barlow Lens is a component-level accessory designed to increase magnification and extend working distance when used with a stereo microscope. It fits into the optical path between the objective and the microscope head, providing a 1.5X magnification boost without altering the base optical system. This allows for higher effective magnification while maintaining a clear, stable image across the field.

  • Magnification1.5X
  • Optical systemGreenough
  • Compatibility1X objective in stereo microscopes
  • Mounting typeStandard optical path insertion
  • InterfaceMechanical fit, no electrical or data connection
  • FunctionMagnification booster, working distance extender

Key Benefits

  • Increases magnification by 1.5X without changing the base microscope objective
  • Maintains the original stereo depth perception of the Greenough optical system
  • Extends working distance when used with low-power objectives, reducing interference with tools
  • Simple mechanical fit into standard microscope optical paths, no alignment tools required
  • Enables inspection of finer features without replacing the main objective or stand

Application Scenarios

  • Inspecting fine solder joints on a PCB with a 1X objective while maintaining a 100mm working distance
  • Enhancing detail in watchmaking or jewellery assembly where high magnification is needed but space is limited
  • Extending the reach of a microscope head during rework without moving the stand
  • Using a low-power objective for large-area inspection and then applying the Barlow for localized detail
  • Supporting documentation of micro-features with a camera by increasing magnification without changing the lens

Who It Is For

  • Electronics rework and inspection technicians using stereo microscopes
  • Watchmakers, jewellers, and precision assembly workers
  • Laboratory staff requiring variable magnification without changing objectives
  • Educational institutions teaching micro-assembly or electronics repair
  • Quality control teams needing consistent magnification across multiple inspection stations

Problems It Solves

  • A fixed magnification system forces the operator to swap objectives to see fine details
  • Short working distances limit tool clearance during soldering or probing
  • Lack of a magnification booster means operators must use higher-power objectives, reducing field of view
  • Separate magnification lenses often require custom adapters or alignment adjustments
  • No easy way to increase magnification without altering the optical path or introducing image distortion

Technical Features

  • 1.5X magnification factor applied to the base objective
  • Designed for use with 1X objectives in Greenough stereo microscopes
  • Mechanical fit into standard microscope optical paths without additional adapters
  • Maintains stereo depth perception across the entire magnified field
  • No power or data interface required; passive optical component

Comparison With Other Options

No Barlow lens used with a 1X objectiveThe XSZ7045 1.5X Barlow lens increases magnification by 1.5X while preserving working distance, allowing inspection of finer features without changing the base objective.
Using a 1.5X objective instead of a Barlow lensA 1.5X objective reduces working distance and may require a different stand; the Barlow lens provides the same magnification without changing the objective or stand.
Using a 0.7X auxiliary objectiveThe 0.7X objective reduces magnification and shortens working distance; the 1.5X Barlow lens increases magnification while maintaining or extending working distance.

Use Guide

  • Insert the Barlow lens into the optical path between the objective and the microscope head
  • Ensure the lens is fully seated and aligned with the optical axis
  • Check that the image remains in focus across the zoom range after installation
  • Use with a 1X objective to achieve 1.5X effective magnification
  • Avoid using with objectives above 1X, as this may cause image distortion or vignetting
Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What magnification does the XSZ7045 1.5X Barlow Lens provide?

It provides a 1.5X magnification boost when used with a 1X objective.

Can I use this Barlow lens with objectives other than 1X?

It is designed for use with 1X objectives. Using it with higher-power objectives may cause image distortion or vignetting.

Does the Barlow lens affect the working distance?

Yes, it extends the working distance when used with low-power objectives, allowing more clearance for tools.

Is the Barlow lens compatible with all stereo microscopes?

It is designed for standard Greenough stereo microscopes with a 1X objective and compatible optical path. Confirm fit with your model before purchase.

Does the Barlow lens require power or data connection?

No. It is a passive optical component with no power or data interface.

Can I use this lens with a camera system?

Yes. The Barlow lens can be used with a camera system as long as the optical path remains aligned and the sensor is compatible with the magnified image.
