XSZ7045 2X Stereo Microscope Barlow Lens

The XSZ7045 2X Stereo Microscope Barlow Lens is a component-level accessory designed to increase magnification by a factor of 2 when inserted between the objective and the microscope head.

Product Overview

The XSZ7045 2X Stereo Microscope Barlow Lens is a component-level accessory designed to increase magnification by a factor of 2 when inserted between the objective and the microscope head. It fits standard 23mm diameter optical paths and is used with stereo microscopes that support Barlow lens integration. It extends the effective magnification range without changing the objective or altering the working distance.

  • Magnification factor2X
  • Insertion pointBetween objective and microscope head
  • Stereo imagingMaintained
  • MaterialMetallic housing with optical glass elements

Key Benefits

  • Doubles the magnification of the existing objective without changing the working distance
  • Maintains stereo depth perception across the full zoom range
  • No need to replace objectives or reconfigure the stand for higher magnification tasks
  • Simple insertion into the optical path between objective and head
  • Preserves the 100mm working distance when used with the standard 1X objective

Application Scenarios

  • Increasing magnification for fine solder joint inspection without moving the workpiece
  • Extending the effective magnification for BGA pad and lead inspection
  • Using higher magnification in a teaching lab without switching to a different microscope
  • Performing detailed inspection of micro-features on PCBs or connectors with minimal setup change
  • Supporting documentation of small defects with a higher magnification image from the same setup

Who It Is For

  • Electronics manufacturers doing SMD and BGA rework and inspection
  • Teaching laboratories requiring variable magnification without multiple instruments
  • Quality control teams needing consistent magnification across inspection stations
  • Precision assembly workshops in watchmaking and jewellery
  • Research labs performing detailed visual analysis of small components

Problems It Solves

  • A fixed magnification objective limits the ability to inspect fine features without changing the setup
  • Requiring a new objective or stand to increase magnification adds cost and complexity
  • Loss of working distance when switching to higher magnification objectives
  • Inconsistent magnification between inspection stations due to mismatched optics
  • Need to reposition the workpiece when changing objectives, increasing inspection time

Technical Features

  • 2X magnification factor, applied to the existing objective
  • Designed for 23mm diameter optical path compatibility
  • Inserts between the objective and the microscope head
  • Maintains stereo imaging and depth perception
  • Preserves the standard 100mm working distance when used with a 1X objective
  • No mechanical or optical alignment required beyond standard head mounting

Customization Options

  • Available as a standalone component for integration into existing setups
  • Can be paired with optional objectives or eyepieces to extend the overall magnification range
  • Not available in custom magnification factors beyond 2X

Comparison With Other Options

Using a 2X objective instead of a Barlow lensA 2X objective changes the working distance and requires a different stand or objective mount; the Barlow lens maintains the original working distance and does not require hardware changes.
No Barlow lens, relying on higher magnification eyepiecesHigher magnification eyepieces reduce the field of view and may introduce image distortion; the Barlow lens maintains optical quality and field consistency.
Using a digital microscope with fixed magnificationA digital microscope with fixed magnification lacks the flexibility to adjust magnification without changing the instrument; the Barlow lens allows real-time magnification adjustment on a standard stereo microscope.

Use Guide

  • Ensure the microscope head has a 23mm diameter optical tube before inserting the Barlow lens
  • Insert the Barlow lens between the objective and the head, aligning the optical axis
  • Do not force the lens into place; it should seat smoothly with a secure fit
  • Verify that the image remains in focus across the zoom range after insertion
  • Use with the standard 1X objective to maintain the 100mm working distance
Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the magnification factor of this Barlow lens?

2X. It doubles the magnification of the existing objective.

Does this lens change the working distance?

No. When used with a 1X objective, the working distance remains at 100mm.

Which microscopes can use this Barlow lens?

Microscopes with a 23mm diameter optical tube and a compatible head design.

Can I use this with a 2X objective?

Yes, but the total magnification will be 4X. The working distance will be reduced as per the objective's specification.

Is the lens compatible with trinocular heads?

Yes, as long as the optical path is 23mm in diameter.

Do I need to recalibrate the microscope after installing it?

No recalibration is required. The lens is designed to maintain optical alignment and focus across the zoom range.
