XT1A 10/20/30/40X Stereo Microscope

The XT1A is a vertical articulated free binocular stereo microscope with a 1X to 4X objective range and a working distance from 55mm to 81mm. It supports WF10X eyepieces and optional WF15X or WF20X eyepieces.

Product Overview

The XT1A is a vertical articulated free binocular stereo microscope with a 1X to 4X objective range and a working distance from 55mm to 81mm. It supports WF10X eyepieces and optional WF15X or WF20X eyepieces. The rack and pinion focusing mechanism allows precise control, and the arm-type pole with a 60mm black-white reversible stage plate provides stable illumination from natural light. It weighs 1.3kg and is designed for bench-level inspection tasks requiring flexibility in magnification and working space.

Key Benefits

  • Vertical articulated free binocular head allows flexible viewing angles without restricting workspace
  • Working distance ranges from 55mm at 1X to 81mm at 2X, giving clearance for tools and components
  • Rack and pinion focusing with adjustable torque ensures smooth, repeatable focus control
  • Interpupillary adjustment 55~75mm accommodates different user eye spacing
  • Natural light illumination via a 60mm black-white reversible stage plate reduces glare and supports consistent contrast
  • Optional WF15X and WF20X eyepieces extend magnification to 30X and 40X without changing the objective
  • Lightweight design at 1.3kg allows easy repositioning on a bench or lab table

Application Scenarios

  • Electronics assembly and rework where a soldering iron or probe must fit under the head
  • Inspection of small mechanical parts, connectors, and PCBs with variable working distances
  • Jewellery and watchmaking where components are handled under the optics
  • Teaching labs demonstrating stereo depth perception in biological or mechanical specimens
  • Quality checks on moulded parts, fasteners, and small castings using natural light for consistent contrast

Who It Is For

  • Electronics manufacturers doing SMD and BGA rework and inspection
  • Universities and schools running practical lab sessions in biology, engineering, or materials science
  • Jewellery and precision assembly workshops handling small components
  • Quality control teams requiring repeatable, tool-clearance-friendly inspection setups
  • Research labs doing hands-on work with small specimens under variable magnification

Problems It Solves

  • Fixed head microscopes limit viewing angles and obstruct workspace during tool use
  • Short working distances prevent the use of soldering irons, probes, or tweezers under the optics
  • Lack of adjustable focusing torque leads to inconsistent focus when handling delicate specimens
  • Inadequate illumination from ambient light causes glare or poor contrast in inspection
  • No option to extend magnification beyond 10X without replacing the entire head or objective

Technical Features

  • Vertical articulated free binocular head with 55~75mm interpupillary adjustment
  • Rack and pinion focusing mechanism with adjustable focusing torque
  • Objective options: 1X, 2X, 3X, 4X with corresponding working distances of 55mm, 81mm, 61mm, 57mm
  • Standard eyepiece: WF10X/F.N.18mm, optional eyepieces: WF15X, WF20X
  • Natural light illumination via a 60mm black-white reversible stage plate
  • Arm-type pole stand with stable base for bench mounting
  • Net weight: 1.3kg, suitable for manual repositioning

Customization Options

  • Choose any one objective from 1X, 2X, 3X, or 4X to match the required working distance and magnification
  • Upgrade eyepieces to WF15X or WF20X to extend magnification to 30X or 40X
  • Use the 60mm black-white reversible stage plate to adjust contrast under natural light
  • Mount on a different stand from the arm-type pole if needed, based on lab layout
  • Select binocular or trinocular head configuration if available in future configurations

Comparison With Other Options

Fixed-angle stereo microscopeThe XT1A's articulated head allows viewing from multiple angles without moving the specimen or stand
Microscope with fixed working distanceThe XT1A offers four objective options with working distances from 55mm to 81mm, so the same instrument supports both broad and fine inspection tasks
Microscope with built-in LED illuminationThe XT1A uses natural light via a reversible stage plate, which avoids heat buildup and color shift from LEDs during long inspections

Use Guide

  • Adjust the interpupillary distance between 55mm and 75mm before focusing to ensure a single merged image
  • Select the objective based on required working distance and magnification before starting inspection
  • Use the black-white side of the stage plate to control contrast depending on specimen reflectivity
  • Adjust the focusing torque to match the operator's preference for smooth or firm focus movement
  • Position the arm-type pole so the head is stable and the working distance is not obstructed by tools
Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the working distances for each objective?

1X: 55mm, 2X: 81mm, 3X: 61mm, 4X: 57mm

Can I use this microscope for soldering and rework?

Yes. The 2X objective provides 81mm of working distance, which allows space for a soldering iron or hot air pencil under the head

What eyepieces are available?

Standard: WF10X/F.N.18mm. Optional: WF15X and WF20X for higher magnification

Does the microscope require a power supply?

No. It uses natural light illumination and mechanical focusing, so no external power is needed

Can I change the objective during inspection?

Yes. The objective can be changed manually to switch between working distances and magnifications

Is the stage plate adjustable for contrast?

Yes. The 60mm black-white reversible stage plate allows switching between dark and light backgrounds to improve contrast under natural light
