XT2B 10/20/30/40X Stereo Microscope

The XT2B is a free articulated binocular stereo microscope with a rack and pinion focusing mechanism, designed for bench-level inspection tasks requiring variable magnification and adjustable working distance.

Product Overview

The XT2B is a free articulated binocular stereo microscope with a rack and pinion focusing mechanism, designed for bench-level inspection tasks requiring variable magnification and adjustable working distance. It offers 10X, 20X, 30X or 40X magnification through interchangeable paired sliding objectives (1X to 4X) and wide field eyepieces (WF10X/18mm, WF15X, WF20X). The 45° inclined head and 55-75mm interpupillary adjustment support ergonomic viewing, while the pole arm and top illumination allow flexible positioning over the workpiece. The standard 12V/10W halogen lamp or optional rechargeable LED lamp provides consistent lighting.

  • HeadArticulated Free Binocular
  • Interpupillary adjustment55-75mm
  • Head inclination45°
  • Focusing mechanismRack and pinion coarse focusing with slip clutch and tension adjustment
  • Objective1X, 2X, 3X, 4X (paired sliding)
  • Magnification10X, 20X, 30X, 40X

Key Benefits

  • 10X to 40X magnification selectable via 1X to 4X paired sliding objectives without changing the head
  • Working distance ranges from 55mm (1X) to 81mm (2X), allowing space for tools and components under the optics
  • Free articulated binocular head with 45° inclination and 55-75mm interpupillary adjustment for ergonomic viewing
  • Rack and pinion coarse focusing with slip clutch and tension adjustment for smooth, controlled focus movement
  • Top illumination with 12V/10W halogen lamp or optional rechargeable LED lamp for consistent lighting on opaque samples
  • Interchangeable eyepieces (WF10X/18mm, WF15X, WF20X) extend field of view and magnification range

Application Scenarios

  • SMD and BGA rework with a soldering iron or hot air pencil under the optics
  • Inspection of connectors, moulded parts, and small mechanical components with variable working distance
  • Jewellery and watchmaking assembly where hands work under the head and a clear view is needed
  • Teaching or demonstration in a lab setting using a shared screen or projector
  • Quality inspection of surface features on metal, plastic or ceramic parts with adjustable lighting

Who It Is For

  • Electronics manufacturers doing SMD and BGA rework and inspection
  • Jewellery, watchmaking and precision assembly workshops
  • Teaching laboratories in schools and technical colleges
  • Quality control departments inspecting surface defects and assembly accuracy
  • Research labs conducting non-destructive visual inspection of small parts

Problems It Solves

  • Fixed magnification microscopes require changing objectives to adjust scale, slowing down inspection
  • Short working distance limits tool clearance during rework or assembly under the optics
  • Non-adjustable heads force operators into awkward postures during prolonged use
  • Inconsistent lighting on opaque samples leads to poor contrast and missed defects
  • Lack of interchangeable eyepieces limits field of view and magnification flexibility

Technical Features

  • Free articulated binocular head with 45° inclination and 55-75mm interpupillary adjustment
  • Rack and pinion coarse focusing mechanism with slip clutch and tension adjustment
  • Paired sliding objectives: 1X, 2X, 3X, 4X for selectable magnification and working distance
  • Wide field eyepieces: WF10X/18mm standard, with optional WF15X and WF20X
  • Top illumination with 12V/10W halogen lamp or optional rechargeable LED lamp
  • Adjustable pole arm allows flexible positioning over the workpiece
  • Reversible stage plate (Φ60mm black-white) for contrast adjustment on different samples
  • Net weight 2kg for stable bench mounting and portability

Customization Options

  • Choose between binocular head and trinocular head configuration (if available in catalog)
  • Upgrade to optional rechargeable LED lamp for portable or low-power use
  • Replace standard WF10X/18mm eyepiece with WF15X or WF20X for higher magnification or wider field
  • Select paired sliding objectives (1X, 2X, 3X, 4X) to match working distance and magnification needs
  • Use the pole arm to position the head over the workpiece at different angles and heights

Comparison With Other Options

Fixed magnification stereo microscopeThe XT2B allows 10X to 40X magnification via interchangeable objectives without changing the head, reducing setup time and tool changes.
Microscope with fixed working distanceThe XT2B provides working distances from 55mm to 81mm across objectives, enabling tool clearance during rework and assembly.
Microscope with only halogen lightingThe XT2B supports optional rechargeable LED lamp, offering longer runtime and lower heat output in portable or extended use scenarios.

Use Guide

  • Adjust the interpupillary distance to 55-75mm before focusing to ensure a single merged image
  • Set the objective to the desired magnification (1X to 4X) before focusing to avoid refocusing after switching
  • Use the rack and pinion focusing mechanism with tension adjustment to prevent slippage during use
  • Position the pole arm to keep the head stable and avoid strain during long inspection sessions
  • Switch to the optional rechargeable LED lamp if using in a location without access to mains power
Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What magnifications are available on the XT2B?

10X, 20X, 30X, and 40X, achieved by using paired sliding objectives of 1X, 2X, 3X, or 4X with the standard WF10X eyepiece.

What is the working distance for each objective?

1X objective: 55mm, 2X: 81mm, 3X: 61mm, 4X: 57mm. The working distance changes with the objective used.

Can I use this microscope for soldering and rework?

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

Does the microscope come with a camera?

No. The XT2B is supplied as a standalone optical instrument without a camera. A C-mount adapter and camera can be added separately if needed.

Is the LED lamp included?

No. The standard configuration includes a 12V/10W halogen lamp. The rechargeable LED lamp is optional and must be specified when ordering.

Can I use different eyepieces with this microscope?

Yes. The standard WF10X/18mm eyepiece can be replaced with WF15X or WF20X, which are available as optional accessories.
