XT2C 10/20/30/40X Stereo Microscope

The XT2C is a free articulated binocular stereo microscope with a rack and pinion focusing mechanism and adjustable illumination.

Product Overview

The XT2C is a free articulated binocular stereo microscope with a rack and pinion focusing mechanism and adjustable illumination. It provides 10X to 40X magnification using interchangeable 1X, 2X, 3X or 4X objectives, with working distances of 55mm to 81mm depending on the objective used. The 45° inclined head and 55-75mm interpupillary adjustment support ergonomic viewing during prolonged inspection tasks.

  • HeadArticulated Free Binocular
  • Interpupillary adjustment55~75mm
  • Head inclination45°
  • Focusing mechanismRack and pinion coarse focusing with slip clutch and tension adjustment
  • Objective options1X, 2X, 3X, 4X
  • Magnification range10X, 20X, 30X, 40X

Key Benefits

  • 10X to 40X magnification range with four interchangeable objectives for flexible inspection across scales
  • Working distance up to 81mm with the 2X objective, allowing space for tools and components under the optics
  • Free articulated binocular head with 45° inclination improves posture and reduces eye strain
  • Rack and pinion focusing with slip clutch and tension adjustment ensures smooth, controlled focus movement
  • Top and bottom illumination with optional halogen or LED lamps supports transparent and opaque sample viewing

Application Scenarios

  • SMD and BGA rework with tools under the optics, using the 81mm working distance at 2X magnification
  • Inspection of small mechanical parts, connectors, and moulded components with adjustable illumination
  • Teaching or training sessions where multiple users need to view the same sample with a stable, ergonomic setup
  • Jewellery and watchmaking assembly where hands work under the head and a clear stereo view is required
  • Quality checks on assembled electronics or precision components with consistent magnification and focus

Who It Is For

  • Electronics manufacturers doing SMD and BGA rework and inspection
  • Universities and technical schools teaching micro-assembly and electronics
  • Precision assembly workshops in jewellery, watchmaking and micro-mechanics
  • Quality control labs inspecting small parts and components
  • Research and development teams working with small-scale prototypes

Problems It Solves

  • Fixed magnification microscopes require multiple instruments for different inspection scales
  • Short working distances limit tool clearance during rework or assembly tasks
  • Non-adjustable heads force operators into awkward postures during long sessions
  • Lack of illumination control makes it hard to inspect both transparent and opaque samples
  • Inconsistent focus movement from loose or uncalibrated focusing mechanisms affects inspection accuracy

Technical Features

  • Articulated free binocular head with 45° inclination for ergonomic viewing
  • Interpupillary adjustment 55~75mm for user-to-user handover
  • Rack and pinion coarse focusing mechanism with slip clutch and tension adjustment
  • Four interchangeable objectives: 1X, 2X, 3X, 4X for 10X, 20X, 30X, 40X total magnification
  • Working distances: 55mm (1X), 81mm (2X), 61mm (3X), 57mm (4X)
  • Top and bottom illumination with optional halogen (12V/10W) or LED lamp
  • Optional WF15X and WF20X eyepieces for extended magnification
  • Net weight 2.3kg for stable bench placement

Customization Options

  • Choose between 1X, 2X, 3X or 4X objectives to set the desired magnification and working distance
  • Upgrade to WF15X or WF20X eyepieces for higher magnification in the 30X and 40X configurations
  • Select optional halogen (12V/10W) or LED lamp with rechargeable batteries for flexible lighting
  • Use the pole arm to position the head at different angles for bench layout flexibility
  • Order the microscope with or without illumination depending on the application

Comparison With Other Options

Fixed magnification stereo microscopeThe XT2C offers four objectives for 10X to 40X magnification, so one instrument replaces multiple fixed units.
Microscope with fixed headThe articulated free binocular head allows 45° inclination and independent adjustment, improving ergonomics for long sessions.
Microscope without slip clutchThe rack and pinion mechanism with slip clutch prevents over-tightening and protects the optics during focus adjustment.

Use Guide

  • Adjust the interpupillary distance to 55-75mm before focusing to ensure a single merged image
  • Set the objective to the desired magnification before focusing; the working distance changes with each objective
  • Use the 2X objective (81mm working distance) when tools like soldering irons or tweezers are needed under the head
  • For bottom illumination, ensure the sample stage is transparent or thin enough to allow light transmission
  • Connect the optional LED lamp to the rechargeable battery pack for portable operation in field or mobile setups
Answers

Frequently Asked Questions
