XT60 10/20/30/40X Stereo Microscope Head

The XT60 is a 45° inclined binocular stereo microscope head with a vertical hand wheel zoom and high eye point wide field eyepieces.

Product Overview

The XT60 is a 45° inclined binocular stereo microscope head with a vertical hand wheel zoom and high eye point wide field eyepieces. It provides standard magnifications of 20X and 40X with a 100mm working distance, allowing space for tools like tweezers, probes or soldering irons under the optics. The head supports multiple objective and eyepiece combinations to extend the magnification range from 5X to 160X. It is designed for bench-level inspection and observation tasks requiring both depth perception and clear, bright imaging.

Key Benefits

  • 100mm working distance allows tools and components to be manipulated under the head without obstruction
  • 45° inclined binocular head with 360° rotation and bilateral diopter adjustment reduces neck strain during long sessions
  • Vertical hand wheel zoom ensures high zoom repeatability and consistent focus across magnification steps
  • High eye point wide field eyepieces (WF10X/20mm, WF15X/15mm, WF20X/10mm) improve visibility for users wearing glasses
  • Multiple objective combinations (1X/4X, 2X/4X, 1X/3X, 1X/2X) allow flexible magnification selection without changing the head
  • Optical members with special coating deliver bright, flat, and clear field of view across the zoom range

Application Scenarios

  • SMD and BGA rework where a technician needs to see depth while manipulating tiny components
  • Incoming inspection of small mechanical parts, connectors, or moulded components with a clear field of view
  • Jewellery and watchmaking assembly where hands work under the head and visual detail is critical
  • Teaching or training sessions where multiple users share the same head with adjustable interpupillary distance
  • Quality inspection of surface defects, solder joints or wire bonds with consistent magnification and focus

Who It Is For

  • Electronics manufacturers doing SMD and BGA rework and inspection
  • Jewellery, watchmaking and precision assembly workshops
  • Teaching laboratories in technical and vocational schools
  • Quality control departments requiring consistent visual inspection across multiple shifts
  • Research labs performing surface-level mechanical or material analysis

Problems It Solves

  • A flat or non-inclined head causes neck strain during prolonged use, especially when multiple operators share the same instrument
  • Fixed magnification heads require swapping objectives to change magnification, slowing down inspection workflows
  • Low eye point eyepieces make it difficult for users wearing glasses to see the full field of view
  • Poor optical coating results in dim, uneven illumination or edge distortion, reducing inspection accuracy
  • Lack of zoom repeatability leads to inconsistent focus when returning to a previous magnification setting

Technical Features

  • 45° inclined binocular head with 360° rotation for flexible positioning
  • Bilateral diopter adjustment for individual eye focus correction
  • Vertical hand wheel zoom with high repeatability for consistent magnification steps
  • Interpupillary adjustment range 54~76mm to suit different users
  • High eye point wide field eyepieces for comfortable viewing with glasses
  • Optical members coated with a special coating for bright, flat, and clear imaging
  • Multiple objective combinations: 1X/4X, 2X/4X, 1X/3X, 1X/2X for selectable magnification
  • Standard magnification 20X/40X with optional eyepieces and objectives extending range to 5X-160X
  • 100mm working distance (effective) for tool clearance under the head
  • Focusing hand wheel with elastic adjustment and 50mm lifting range

Customization Options

  • Choose between binocular head and trinocular head configuration (if supported by stand)
  • Select from multiple objective combinations: 1X/4X, 2X/4X, 1X/3X, 1X/2X for different magnification needs
  • Upgrade to higher magnification eyepieces: WF15X/15mm or WF20X/10mm
  • Pair with a stand that supports the 100mm working distance and vertical zoom mechanism
  • Configure for use with a camera by adding a C-mount adapter or trinocular port

Comparison With Other Options

XT60 stereo microscope head without zoomThe XT60 includes a vertical hand wheel zoom with high repeatability, allowing consistent magnification steps without changing objectives or losing focus
Standard 10X eyepiece with low eye pointThe WF10X/20mm high eye point eyepiece allows users wearing glasses to see the full field of view without adjusting head position
Flat or non-rotating headThe 45° inclined, 360° rotating head improves ergonomics and allows multiple users to share the same instrument without repositioning the stand

Use Guide

  • Adjust the interpupillary distance between 54mm and 76mm before focusing to ensure a single merged image
  • Set the diopter on one eye first, then focus with the other eye to match the image plane
  • Use the vertical hand wheel to zoom from low to high magnification; focus at the highest setting first
  • Keep the 100mm working distance in mind when positioning tools or components under the head
  • Select the objective and eyepiece combination that matches the required magnification range for the task
Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the standard magnification of the XT60 head?

The standard magnification is 20X with a 2X/4X objective and WF10X/20mm eyepiece. The 40X option uses the same objective and eyepiece combination.

Can I use this head with a camera?

Yes. The head can be used with a camera if paired with a trinocular configuration or a C-mount adapter. Confirm the stand compatibility before ordering.

What working distance does the head provide?

The standard working distance is 100mm (effective). This allows space for tools like tweezers, probes or soldering irons under the optics.

What eyepieces are available for this head?

Standard eyepiece is WF10X/20mm. Optional eyepieces are WF15X/15mm and WF20X/10mm for higher magnification.

Can I change the objective without losing focus?

Yes. The head supports multiple objective combinations (1X/4X, 2X/4X, 1X/3X, 1X/2X) and maintains focus when switching, provided the stand has proper alignment.
