Product Overview
The XT5A is a stereo microscope with a 2x and 4x objective, delivering 20X and 40X total magnification. It features an articulated free binocular head with diopter adjustment and a 45-degree inclined stage. The working distance is 81mm at 2X and 57mm at 4X, allowing room for tools and components during inspection. It uses a rack and pinion coarse focusing mechanism with slip clutch and tension adjustment. No power supply or illumination is included.

Key Benefits
- 81mm working distance at 2X objective leaves space for tools, probes or components under the optics
- 57mm working distance at 4X objective supports detailed inspection without interference
- Articulated free binocular head allows flexible viewing angles for operator comfort
- Diopter adjustment of +/-5dp compensates for differences between left and right eye vision
- 45-degree inclined stage improves ergonomics during prolonged inspection tasks
- Rack and pinion focusing with slip clutch and tension adjustment ensures smooth, controlled movement
- No power supply or illumination required, so the unit is lightweight and portable
Application Scenarios
- SMD component inspection on a PCB with a soldering iron or tweezers under the optics
- BGA rework where a 2X objective provides a wide field for locating the chip and a 4X objective allows joint-level detail
- Incoming inspection of small mechanical parts, connectors or moulded components
- Teaching lab use where multiple students view the same sample from different angles
- Jewellery or watchmaking assembly where hands work under the optics with a clear view
Who It Is For
- Electronics repair and rework benches handling SMD and BGA work
- Teaching laboratories in electronics, engineering and biology
- Quality control teams inspecting small parts and assemblies
- Jewellery, watchmaking and precision assembly workshops
- Small-scale manufacturing and prototyping labs
Problems It Solves
- Fixed head microscopes limit viewing angles and cause neck strain during long sessions
- Short working distance at high magnification blocks tools or components from being placed under the optics
- Lack of diopter adjustment forces users to adjust focus with one eye, leading to eye fatigue
- Manual focusing without tension control can cause the stage to drift during inspection
- Microscopes requiring external power or illumination add bulk and complexity to a bench setup
Technical Features
- Articulated free binocular head with 45-degree inclination for ergonomic viewing
- Diopter adjustment range of +/-5dp for individual eye compensation
- Interpupillary distance adjustment 55-75mm to fit different users
- 2x and 4x objectives provide 20X and 40X total magnification
- Working distance of 81mm at 2X objective, 57mm at 4X objective
- Rack and pinion coarse focusing mechanism with slip clutch and tension adjustment
- 45-degree inclined stage with Ø60mm diameter
- Black and white reversible stage plate for contrast and visibility
- No power supply or illumination included, reducing weight and complexity
- Net weight of 1.6 kgs for easy handling and transport

Comparison With Other Options
| XT5A without articulated head | The articulated free head allows flexible viewing angles and better ergonomics; the fixed head version limits positioning options. |
|---|---|
| Microscope with built-in LED illumination | The XT5A has no illumination, so it avoids power requirements and weight; use external lighting if needed for low-contrast samples. |
| Digital microscope with screen-only view | The XT5A provides a true stereo optical view with binocular depth perception, which is essential for hand-guided tasks like rework. |
Use Guide
- Adjust the interpupillary distance to 55-75mm before focusing to ensure a single merged image
- Use the diopter adjustment to match your dominant eye vision; set the other side to zero first
- Start with the 2X objective for locating components, then switch to 4X for detailed inspection
- Keep tools and components within the working distance of 81mm (2X) or 57mm (4X) to avoid obstruction
- Use the tension adjustment on the focusing mechanism to prevent drift during inspection
