XT1B 10/20/30/40X Stereo Microscope
The XT1B is a vertical articulated free binocular stereo microscope with a rack and pinion focusing mechanism and top illumination.

Product Overview
The XT1B is a vertical articulated free binocular stereo microscope with a rack and pinion focusing mechanism and top illumination. It offers 1X to 4X objectives with working distances from 55mm to 81mm, allowing hands-on work under the optics. The WF10X eyepiece provides a wide field of view, and the 12V/10W halogen lamp with a reversible stage plate supports both transparent and opaque sample inspection. This model is designed for bench-level tasks requiring adjustable magnification and stable illumination.

Application Scenarios
- SMD and BGA rework with tools under the optics and a clear view of the joint
- Inspection of moulded plastic parts, connectors, and small mechanical components
- Jewellery and watchmaking assembly where hands work under the head
- Teaching lab sessions requiring a stable, adjustable stereo microscope for multiple students
- Quality control checks on small parts with both top and bottom surface visibility
Who It Is For
- Electronics repair and rework benches handling SMD and BGA work
- Quality departments inspecting small mechanical and electronic components
- Teaching laboratories in electronics, engineering, and precision assembly
- Jewellery, watchmaking, and micro-mechanical workshops
- Research labs requiring flexible stereo magnification for hands-on tasks
Problems It Solves
- Fixed-angle heads force the operator into awkward postures during long inspection sessions
- Short working distances prevent the use of tools like tweezers, soldering irons, or probes under the optics
- Lack of adjustable focus torque leads to over-tight or loose focusing during use
- Single illumination type limits the ability to inspect both opaque and transparent samples
- Inflexible magnification requires changing the entire microscope for different work scales

Customization Options
- Choose any one objective from 1X, 2X, 3X, or 4X to match the required working distance and magnification
- Upgrade eyepiece to WF15X or WF20X for higher magnification or narrower field
- Replace halogen lamp with LED lamp for lower heat and longer life
- Select alternative arm-type pole stands from the available range
- Add optional ring lights or cold light sources for enhanced illumination
Comparison With Other Options
| XT1B without top illumination | The standard XT1B includes a 12V/10W halogen lamp and reversible stage plate; the non-illuminated version lacks both, limiting use to reflective or opaque samples only. |
|---|---|
| Fixed-angle stereo microscope | The vertical articulated head allows continuous adjustment of viewing angle, reducing neck strain and improving access during long inspection sessions. |
| Digital stereo microscope with screen-only view | The XT1B maintains a true binocular stereo view for hand-eye coordination, while a screen-only digital microscope removes depth perception during tool use. |
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 torque adjustment to set focus resistance to prevent accidental movement during use
- Position the halogen lamp to avoid glare on shiny surfaces; use the black side of the stage plate for reflective samples
- For prolonged use, consider replacing the halogen lamp with an LED lamp to reduce heat and power consumption

View DetailsFrequently Asked Questions
What is the working distance with the 2X objective?
81mm. The working distances are 55mm (1X), 81mm (2X), 61mm (3X), and 57mm (4X).
Can I use this microscope for soldering and rework?
Yes. The 81mm working distance with the 2X objective allows space for a soldering iron and tools under the optics.
Does the halogen lamp generate significant heat?
Yes. The 12V/10W halogen lamp produces heat; consider replacing it with an LED lamp for sensitive or heat-sensitive samples.
Can I use a different eyepiece?
Yes. Optional eyepieces include WF15X and WF20X, which increase magnification and reduce field of view.
Is the stage plate reversible?
Yes. The Ф60mm stage plate is black-white reversible, allowing use on both opaque and transparent samples.
Can I replace the halogen lamp with an LED?
Yes. The lamp is replaceable; an LED alternative can be supplied upon request for lower heat and longer life.
