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 objective | The 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 lens | A 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 objective | The 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

View DetailsFrequently 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.
