XT40 10/20/30/40X Stereo Microscope
The XT40 10/20/30/40X Stereo Microscope is a binocular stereo microscope with a 45 inclined pillar base, supplied with a 1X/2X objective and a 10X eyepiece.

Product Overview
The XT40 10/20/30/40X Stereo Microscope is a binocular stereo microscope with a 45 inclined pillar base, supplied with a 1X/2X objective and a 10X eyepiece. It provides 1X to 4X magnification with a working distance of 56mm to 81mm depending on the objective, so hands can operate under the optics during inspection. The standard configuration includes reflected and transmitted illumination with a 12V/10W incandescent lamp and frosted glass plate for even lighting. The optical system delivers a true stereo view across the magnification range.

- 45 inclined pillar base allows comfortable viewing posture during extended inspection tasks
- Reflected and transmitted illumination with frosted glass plate ensures even lighting for transparent and opaque samples
- 12V/10W incandescent lamp provides consistent brightness across the field of view
- Binocular head with eyeguard and rubber eye cups reduces eye strain during long sessions
- Dust cover and small lever on the stage allow for quick protection and stage movement
Application Scenarios
- SMD component inspection on a printed circuit board with a soldering iron under the optics
- Incoming inspection of small mechanical parts, connectors and moulded components
- Assembly of precision instruments where hands work under the microscope
- Teaching students how to handle small parts and tools in a laboratory setting
- Quality checks on watchmaking, jewellery or micro-mechanical assemblies
Who It Is For
- Electronics manufacturers doing SMD and BGA rework and inspection
- Universities, schools and teaching laboratories
- Precision assembly workshops in watchmaking, jewellery and micro-mechanics
- Quality departments that need consistent lighting and working distance for inspection
- Research labs requiring a stable, adjustable stereo microscope for hands-on work
Problems It Solves
- Short working distance microscopes force operators to remove tools from under the optics during inspection
- Fixed magnification stands require swapping objectives to change field of view and working distance
- Poor illumination on the stage leads to shadows and uneven brightness in the image
- Lack of a dust cover leaves the stage and optics exposed to debris during breaks
- Ergonomic strain from poor viewing angle during long inspection sessions

Customization Options
- Binocular head with optional WF5X, WF15X or WF20X eyepieces for higher magnification
- Optional 3X, 4X or 6X objectives to extend magnification to 15X-120X
- Change from 1X/2X to 3X/4X or 6X objectives for different working distances
- Add frosted glass plate or B/W plate based on sample type
- Replace standard 10X eyepiece with WF5X, WF15X or WF20X for different field of view and magnification
Comparison With Other Options
| XT40 10/20/30/40X Stereo Microscope without optional objectives | Same base, head and illumination, but the standard 1X/2X objective limits magnification to 1X-4X; adding 3X/4X or 6X objectives extends the range to 15X-120X. |
|---|---|
| XT40 10/20/30/40X Stereo Microscope with trinocular head | Same optical system and working distance, but the trinocular version adds a camera port for imaging without a separate camera adapter. |
| Fixed magnification stereo microscope | The XT40 allows objective and eyepiece changes to adjust magnification and working distance without replacing the entire stand or head. |
Use Guide
- Adjust the interpupillary distance to match your eye spacing before focusing
- Start with the lowest magnification (1X) to locate the area of interest, then switch to higher objectives
- Use the frosted glass plate for transmitted light on transparent samples, and the B/W plate for reflected light on opaque parts
- Turn off the lamp when not in use to extend bulb life
- Use the small lever on the stage to move the sample without touching it directly

What is the working distance under the 1X objective?
56mm. Under the 2X objective it is 81mm, under 3X it is 61mm, and under 4X it is 58mm.
Can I use this microscope for soldering?
Yes. The 56mm working distance under the 1X objective allows space for a soldering iron or hot air pencil under the optics.
Does the lamp need a separate power supply?
No. The 12V/10W incandescent lamp is designed to operate with a standard 12V power source, which is included in the configuration.
What magnification can I achieve with optional parts?
With optional 3X, 4X or 6X objectives and eyepieces, magnification extends to 15X-120X.
Can I use a camera with this microscope?
Yes. The standard binocular head can be replaced with a trinocular head to add a camera port; confirm the configuration when ordering.
What type of stage plate is included?
One B/W plate and one frosted glass plate are included for reflected and transmitted illumination.
