XT60-SL8 10/20/30/40X Stereo Zoom Microscope

The XT60-SL8 is a 45° inclined binocular stereo zoom microscope with a standard 20X/40X magnification and a 100mm working distance.

Product Overview

The XT60-SL8 is a 45° inclined binocular stereo zoom microscope with a standard 20X/40X magnification and a 100mm working distance. It uses a Greenough optical system with a shift zoom lens combination and high eye point wide field eyepieces. The vertical hand wheel zoom provides repeatable focus across the range, and the binocular head allows 360° rotation and bilateral diopter adjustment for operator comfort during prolonged use.

  • Optical systemGreenough
  • HeadBinocular, 45° inclined, 360° rotation, bilateral diopter adjustment
  • Interpupillary adjustment54~76mm
  • Zoom typeShift zoom lens combination
  • Standard magnification20X/40X
  • Magnification range5X~160X

Key Benefits

  • 100mm working distance allows space for tools like soldering irons, tweezers or probes under the optics
  • 45° inclined binocular head with 360° rotation and diopter adjustment reduces eye and neck strain during long sessions
  • Vertical hand wheel zoom ensures consistent focus and repeatable magnification settings
  • Shift zoom lens combinations (1X/4X, 2X/4X, 1X/3X, 1X/2X) allow flexible magnification selection from 5X to 160X
  • High eye point wide field eyepieces (WF10X/20mm, WF15X/15mm, WF20X/10mm) improve visibility for users wearing glasses
  • Standard magnification of 20X/40X can be extended to 10X/30X/40X with optional objectives and eyepieces

Application Scenarios

  • SMD rework and BGA inspection where a soldering iron must remain under the optics
  • Incoming inspection of small mechanical parts, connectors and moulded components
  • Watchmaking, jewellery and precision assembly where hands work under the head
  • Teaching labs requiring multiple users to view the same object with minimal head movement
  • Quality control documentation using optional camera or screen capture from the same instrument

Who It Is For

  • Electronics manufacturers doing SMD and BGA rework and inspection
  • Universities and technical schools teaching micro-assembly and electronics
  • Jewellery, watchmaking and precision engineering workshops
  • Quality departments requiring consistent magnification and documentation
  • Laboratories performing inspection of small parts with variable magnification needs

Problems It Solves

  • A fixed magnification microscope forces the operator to change objectives to inspect different features
  • Short working distance instruments prevent the use of tools like soldering irons under the optics
  • Non-adjustable heads cause eye strain during long inspection sessions
  • Lack of repeatable zoom control leads to inconsistent focus across magnification steps
  • Standard eyepieces do not accommodate users wearing glasses or require frequent refocusing

Technical Features

  • Greenough optical system with a shift zoom lens combination for true stereo depth
  • 45° inclined binocular head with 360° rotation and bilateral diopter adjustment
  • Vertical hand wheel zoom with high repetition accuracy for consistent focus
  • Interpupillary adjustment 54~76mm for user-to-user handover
  • High eye point wide field eyepieces reduce eye strain and improve visibility
  • Optical members coated with a special coating for clear, bright, flat field images
  • Focusing hand wheel with adjustable elastic lift range of 50mm
  • Standard objective 2X/4X and eyepiece WF10X/20mm provide 20X/40X magnification
  • Optional objectives (1X/4X, 2X/4X, 1X/3X, 1X/2X) and eyepieces (WF15X/15mm, WF20X/10mm) extend magnification to 5X~160X

Customization Options

  • Binocular head with 45° tilt and 360° rotation for ergonomic viewing
  • Optional objectives (1X/4X, 2X/4X, 1X/3X, 1X/2X) to adjust magnification and working distance
  • Optional eyepieces (WF15X/15mm, WF20X/10mm) to extend magnification range
  • Adjustable focusing hand wheel with 50mm lift range for different sample heights
  • Option to select different shift zoom lens combinations for specific inspection tasks

Comparison With Other Options

XT60-SL8 without optional objectivesThe standard 2X/4X objective gives 20X/40X; adding 1X/4X or 1X/3X objectives extends the range to 5X/15X or 10X/30X, allowing lower magnification for larger components
Fixed magnification stereo microscopeThe XT60-SL8's shift zoom lens combination allows continuous magnification from 5X to 160X without changing objectives, reducing setup time
Flat-top binocular microscopeThe 45° inclined head reduces neck strain during prolonged use, especially when multiple users share the same instrument

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 the other eye using the diopter adjustment
  • Use the vertical hand wheel to focus at the highest magnification first, then zoom out to maintain focus across the range
  • Keep the 100mm working distance in mind when positioning tools or fixtures under the head
  • Select the shift zoom lens combination (1X/4X, 2X/4X, etc.) based on the required magnification and working distance
