XT2A 10/20/30/40X Stereo Microscope

The XT2A is a free articulated binocular stereo microscope with a rack and pinion focusing mechanism and a 45° inclined head.

Product Overview

The XT2A is a free articulated binocular stereo microscope with a rack and pinion focusing mechanism and a 45° inclined head. It delivers 10X, 20X, 30X or 40X magnification using paired sliding objectives of 1X, 2X, 3X or 4X, with working distances of 55mm, 81mm, 61mm or 57mm respectively. The natural light illumination system uses a Φ60mm black-white reversible stage plate, and the articulated head allows flexible positioning during inspection or teaching tasks.

  • HeadArticulated Free Binocular
  • Interpupillary adjustment55~75mm
  • Head inclination45°
  • Focusing mechanismRack and Pinion Coarse with Slip Clutch and Tension Adjustment
  • Objective1X, 2X, 3X, 4X (sliding paired)
  • Magnification10X, 20X, 30X, 40X

Key Benefits

  • 10X to 40X magnification selectable via 1X to 4X objectives, so one instrument covers multiple inspection scales
  • Working distance ranges from 55mm to 81mm depending on objective, allowing room for tools or samples under the optics
  • Articulated free binocular head with 45° inclination supports ergonomic viewing during long sessions
  • Rack and pinion focusing with slip clutch and tension adjustment prevents over-tightening and maintains focus stability
  • Natural light illumination with a Φ60mm reversible stage plate enables clear viewing under ambient light or with optional lighting
  • Interpupillary adjustment 55~75mm allows quick handover between operators with different eye spacing

Application Scenarios

  • Electronics rework bench where a technician needs to inspect solder joints at 30X while keeping a soldering iron under the optics
  • Teaching lab demonstrating component assembly with a group of students viewing the same image through the binocular head
  • Jewellery workshop inspecting gem settings at 40X with a 57mm working distance to accommodate tweezers and tools
  • Geology lab examining rock fragments under natural light with the reversible stage plate for contrast control
  • Quality inspection of small mechanical parts where a 20X magnification with 81mm working distance allows tool access

Who It Is For

  • Electronics manufacturers doing SMD and BGA rework and inspection
  • Universities, schools and teaching laboratories
  • Jewellery, watchmaking and precision assembly workshops
  • Geology, mineralogy and gemmology labs
  • Quality control departments inspecting small mechanical or electronic components

Problems It Solves

  • Fixed magnification microscopes require swapping objectives to change scale, interrupting workflow
  • Short working distances prevent tool access under the optics during rework or assembly
  • Non-adjustable heads force operators into awkward postures, increasing fatigue during long inspections
  • Lack of tension control in focusing mechanisms leads to drift or over-tightening during use
  • No natural light option forces reliance on artificial illumination, which can distort color or create glare

Technical Features

  • Free articulated binocular head with 45° inclination for flexible positioning
  • Interpupillary adjustment 55~75mm for operator handover
  • Rack and pinion coarse focusing mechanism with slip clutch and tension adjustment
  • Paired sliding objectives: 1X, 2X, 3X, 4X for magnification selection
  • Magnification options: 10X, 20X, 30X, 40X based on objective choice
  • Working distance: 55mm (1X), 81mm (2X), 61mm (3X), 57mm (4X)
  • Natural light illumination via Φ60mm black-white reversible stage plate
  • WF10X/18mm wide field plan-scope eyepiece standard
  • Net weight 1.5kg for stable bench placement
  • Pole arm type for flexible positioning of the head

Customization Options

  • Optional eyepieces: WF15X, WF20X to increase magnification beyond 40X
  • Choose between 1X, 2X, 3X or 4X objectives to match working distance and magnification needs
  • Select a trinocular head configuration if camera integration is required (not specified in source)
  • Use the pole arm to position the head at different angles for ergonomic viewing

Comparison With Other Options

Fixed magnification stereo microscopeThe XT2A allows 10X to 40X magnification via objective selection, so one instrument replaces multiple fixed units
Microscope with no articulated headThe free articulated head enables flexible positioning without moving the entire stand, useful in tight workspaces
Microscope with only artificial illuminationThe XT2A uses natural light with a reversible stage plate, reducing glare and color distortion during inspection

Use Guide

  • Adjust the interpupillary distance to 55~75mm before focusing to ensure a merged image
  • Set the objective to the desired magnification before focusing, as changing objectives mid-task requires refocusing
  • Use the tension adjustment on the focusing mechanism to prevent drift during long inspections
  • Position the pole arm to place the head at a comfortable viewing angle, especially for prolonged use
  • Use the black-white reversible stage plate to control contrast under natural light; white side for darker samples, black side for lighter ones
