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.

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 objectives | The standard XT1C includes a choice of four objectives, so one unit replaces four fixed-magnification models for different tasks. |
|---|---|
| Fixed-focus stereo microscope | The rack and pinion focusing with torque adjustment allows repeatable focus across magnifications, unlike fixed-focus models that require manual refocusing. |
| Microscope with only top illumination | The 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

View DetailsFrequently 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.
