Optika SZR-180 Research life science stereo microscope
€9.594,00 excl. VAT
The Optika SZR-180 is a CMO stereomicroscope covering a 7.5x to 135x zoom range with an 18:1 zoom ratio. It carries a PLAN Apochromatic 1x objective, N.A. 0.15, with parfocal achromatic zoom and a 60 mm working distance. The LED transmitted illumination includes an OIC lever for oblique illumination and a lever for dark background insertion, giving flexible contrast options on the same stand. Seven click stops from 0.75x to 13.5x support repeatable zoom settings. It suits life science and research laboratories that need high resolution stereo observation with adjustable illumination technique.
Research-Grade CMO Stereomicroscope with Oblique Illumination Control
The Optika SZR-180 gives research laboratories an 18:1 zoom ratio stereomicroscope built around a PLAN Apochromatic objective. The LED illumination system includes an OIC lever for oblique contrast and a dark background lever, so the same stand covers standard transmitted observation and contrast-enhanced techniques.
- PLAN Apochromatic 1x objective, N.A. 0.15, parfocal achromatic zoom
- 18:1 zoom ratio from 7.5x to 135x with 7 click stop positions
- OIC lever for oblique illumination and dark background insertion
- Objective resolution up to 406 lp/mm at 13.5x
- Suited to life science and research laboratories needing flexible stereo observation
Optika SZR-180 Research Life Science Stereo Microscope
The Optika SZR-180 is a CMO stereomicroscope built for research life science applications, covering a 7.5x to 135x zoom range with an 18:1 zoom ratio.
A PLAN Apochromatic 1x objective and LED illumination with an OIC oblique lever give flexible contrast options on one stand.
PLAN Apochromatic Zoom Objective
The 1x objective, N.A. 0.15, uses a parfocal achromatic zoom mechanism with a 60 mm working distance, giving 57 lp/mm resolution at 0.75x and 406 lp/mm at 13.5x.
18:1 Zoom Ratio with Seven Click Stops
The zoom range covers 7.5x to 135x with click stops at 0.75x, 1x, 2x, 3x, 6x, 10x, and 13.5x, giving repeatable magnification settings during a session.
LED Illumination with OIC Oblique Lever
The LED transmitted illumination runs at 2 W, delivering 40000 lux with manual brightness control. An OIC lever adds oblique illumination, and a separate lever inserts a dark background for contrast work.
Coaxial Focusing on a Fixed Arm Stand
Coaxial coarse and fine focusing gives 125 mm of coarse travel on a fixed arm stand with a 180 mm diameter transmitted illumination glass plate.
Ideal Applications
The SZR-180 suits laboratories that need high resolution stereo observation with flexible illumination.
- Life science and research dissection work
- Sample preparation requiring oblique or dark background contrast
- Quality control inspection needing a wide zoom range
- Documentation work using the built-in C-mount
- Research applications needing repeatable zoom positions
Choose the SZR-180 when:
- You need an 18:1 zoom ratio stereomicroscope for research use
- You need oblique illumination or dark background contrast options
- You want a PLAN Apochromatic objective for higher resolution
- You need a built-in C-mount for camera documentation
Optika Value Proposition
The Optika SZR-180 combines a PLAN Apochromatic zoom objective with LED illumination and an OIC oblique lever on a trinocular stereomicroscope stand for research and life science applications.
