Product Overview

The XT1C is a vertical articulated binocular stereo microscope with a rack and pinion focusing mechanism, designed for bench-level inspection tasks requiring adjustable working distance and multiple magnification options. It supports objectives from 1X to 4X, delivering 10X to 40X total magnification with WF10X eyepieces, and features a 12V/10W halogen lamp with a frosted glass stage for top and bottom illumination. The 55-75mm interpupillary adjustment allows for operator handover, and the arm-type pole stand provides flexible positioning.

  • HeadVertical Articulated Free Binocular
  • Interpupillary adjustment55-75mm
  • Focusing mechanismRack and pinion with torque adjustment
  • Objective options1X, 2X, 3X, 4X
  • Working distance1X-55mm, 2X-81mm, 3X-61mm, 4X-57mm
  • EyepieceWF10X/18mm (standard)

Key Benefits

  • 10X to 40X magnification range with interchangeable 1X to 4X objectives, so one stand serves multiple inspection tasks
  • Working distance varies from 55mm to 81mm depending on objective choice, allowing room for tools and parts under the optics
  • Vertical articulated binocular head with 55-75mm interpupillary adjustment for ergonomic viewing and shared use
  • Rack and pinion focusing with torque adjustment for consistent, repeatable focus across magnifications
  • Top and bottom illumination with 12V/10W halogen lamp and frosted glass stage plate, so translucent and opaque samples are visible
  • Arm-type pole stand allows flexible positioning on a bench or worktable

Application Scenarios

  • Electronics inspection of PCBs with solder joints, connectors, and SMD components under varying working distances
  • Jewellery and watchmaking assembly where tools must be used under the optics with clear visibility
  • Quality inspection of small mechanical parts, moulded plastic components, and precision assemblies
  • Teaching or demonstration in a lab where multiple users need to view the same sample in turn
  • BGA rework or micro-soldering where a soldering iron or probe must fit under the head

Who It Is For

  • Electronics manufacturers doing PCB and SMD inspection and rework
  • Jewellery, watchmaking and precision assembly workshops
  • Teaching laboratories in technical schools and vocational training centers
  • Quality control departments requiring repeatable, documented inspection setups
  • Research labs performing low-magnification visual checks on small samples

Problems It Solves

  • Fixed working distance microscopes limit tool clearance during soldering or assembly
  • Lack of interchangeable objectives forces the purchase of multiple stands for different magnifications
  • Fixed focus mechanisms make consistent focusing difficult across magnification steps
  • Single illumination direction fails to show detail on translucent or opaque samples
  • Non-adjustable head designs prevent ergonomic viewing for users with different eye spacing

Technical Features

  • Vertical articulated free binocular head with 55-75mm interpupillary adjustment
  • Rack and pinion focusing mechanism with adjustable focusing torque
  • Interchangeable objectives: 1X, 2X, 3X, 4X, each with a defined working distance
  • Top and bottom illumination using a 12V/10W halogen lamp and a 95mm frosted glass stage plate
  • Arm-type pole stand for flexible positioning on a bench
  • WF10X eyepiece standard, with optional WF15X and WF20X eyepieces available
  • Net weight 2.1kg, so the stand remains stable during use

Customization Options

  • Choose any one objective from 1X, 2X, 3X, or 4X to match the required working distance and magnification
  • Upgrade to WF15X or WF20X eyepieces for higher magnification or narrower field of view
  • Replace halogen lamp with LED lamp option for lower heat and longer life
  • Mount on alternative stands from the arm-type pole range if bench space or positioning changes

Comparison With Other Options

XT1C without interchangeable objectivesThe standard XT1C includes a choice of four objectives, so one unit replaces four fixed-magnification models for different tasks.
Fixed-focus stereo microscopeThe rack and pinion focusing with torque adjustment allows repeatable focus across magnifications, unlike fixed-focus models that require manual refocusing.
Microscope with only top illuminationThe XT1C provides both top and bottom illumination, so translucent samples and opaque parts are visible under the same setup.

Use Guide

  • Select the objective based on required working distance and magnification before mounting
  • Adjust the interpupillary distance to 55-75mm before focusing to ensure a merged image
  • Use the rack and pinion focusing mechanism by turning the knob slowly to avoid overshoot
  • Set the focusing torque to a comfortable level for consistent focus across magnifications
  • Position the arm-type pole stand to keep the head stable during long inspection sessions
  • Replace the halogen lamp with an LED option if heat or power consumption is a concern
Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What working distance do I get with each objective?

1X: 55mm, 2X: 81mm, 3X: 61mm, 4X: 57mm. Choose based on tool clearance and sample size.

Can I use this microscope for soldering and rework?

Yes. The 81mm working distance with the 2X objective allows space for a soldering iron or hot air pencil under the optics.

Does the microscope come with a camera?

No. The XT1C is supplied as a standalone optical instrument. A camera can be added later using a C-mount adapter if needed.

Can I use different eyepieces?

Yes. The standard WF10X can be replaced with WF15X or WF20X for higher magnification or narrower field of view.

Is the halogen lamp replaceable?

Yes. The 12V/10W halogen lamp is a standard bulb and can be replaced with a new one when it fails.

Can I mount this on a different stand?

Yes. The arm-type pole stand is compatible with alternative stands from the same range if positioning needs change.
