Comfort and Precision in Biological Applications
Comfort for Your Eyes—Precision for Your Work
SZX7: The ergonomic design combined with high image quality helps users to work for long periods of time without becoming fatigued.
SZ61: Excellent optical performance with a zoom ratio of 6.7:1. Model variations: SZ61TR (with trinocular tube) and SZ61-60 (with a 60-degree observation tube inclination).
SZ51: Versatile, cost-efficient, and ideal in all line inspection applications
Five Zoom Body Variations with High Performance
The SZ61 and SZ51 zoom bodies provide two different magnification ranges. They are available with an ergonomically designed 45-degree inclination tube for use on the standard stand. Models with a 60-degree inclination tube (SZ61-60/SZ51-60) are available for special applications where the zoom body has to be tilted for use with other equipment or mounted on a universal stand. For documentation purposes, Olympus also offers the SZ61TR, which incorporates a trinocular tube for easy attachment of digital and video cameras.
Wide Choice of Auxiliary Objectives
A wide choice of auxiliary objectives enable observations at magnifications from 2X to 270X and a WD up to 350 mm.
Work Comfortably and Productively
Olympus is committed to making work easy, comfortable, and productive through leading-edge ergonomic designs. That means applying advanced technological methods to excellent operability, reducing factors that contribute to operator fatigue, and building in effective safety features like an electrostatic discharge (ESD) safe design.
Ergonomic Instruments Enable Natural Posture, Reduced Stress, and Increased Productivity
The ergonomic long tilting trinocular provides an optimized work position for individual users by bringing the microscope closer to the user, while the extendable eyepoint adjuster provides flexibility for users of different heights. The SZX series’ ergonomic instruments reduce stress during observation by providing the most comfortable position for each user, increasing work
efficiency.
Ergonomic Design Based on 3D CAD Analysis
The microscope body and stand feature precisely curved contours developed through careful 3D computer aided design (CAD) analysis. Key ergonomic features help to reduce fatigue in periods of long observation and include an all-round finish that’s smooth to the touch.
Convenient Front-Access Operation
Improved ease of access to the most frequently used knobs and switches maximizes operator comfort and reduces back strain.
Precise Recall of Specific Magnification Settings via Integrated Click-Stop Mechanism (SZX7) or Zoom Knob Stopper (SZ61/SZ51)
Many inspection tasks require the use of the same zoom magnification setting to ensure consistent and comparable results. The integrated click-stop mechanism provides quick and easy access to this important function. The zoom knob stopper enables the user to accurately choose their desired magnification, and the setting in use is clearly displayed on the front control panel.
New Eyepiece Reduces Fatigue and Excludes Dust
This eyepiece features a pupillary aberration control mechanism whereby the image remains visible even if the operator’s eyes move. This lessens operator fatigue in long-duration observations. The unique eyepiece mounting design excludes dust particles and keeps the eyepiece firmly in place, ensuring clear images and an ergonomic eyepiece position.
ESD Safety Design
All microscope bodies and accessories are ESD-safe and are able to discharge static electricity from 1000 V down to 100 V in less than 0.2 seconds, protecting the equipment and helping prevent sample damage.
