A new resolution
The Olympus SZX16 offers a maximum numerical aperture (NA) of 0.3, producing a superior resolution of 900 line pairs per millimetre. This enhances the flexibility of the range, allowing the clear visualisation of fine microscopic structures such as biological cell components. With such amazing resolution (and peerless magnification) you can make your work more efficient, more precise and gain much more information from your samples. |

Fluorescence
Fluorescence detection techniques play a major role for the functional analysis of organisms nowadays. Another advantage of the advanced optics and high NA, is that the SZX16 can be used as the perfect fluorescence microscope for whole organism to nuclear detail imaging. |

Zoom zoom zoom
Put simply, the Olympus SZX16 provides one the largest zoom ratios of any stereo microscope on the market – 16.4:1. This combined with the high NA optics, produces the best clarity at whatever magnification is chosen, meaning you really can see more.

From the base up
The Olympus SZX2 range features the unique Olympus LED base system enabling fine control of transmitted illumination for bright and even images. With the ultra-slim 40mm base, the SZX2 range has the most ergonomic stage height available. Moreover, a novel carousel enables the easy selection and control of brightfield, darkfield and oblique illumination. The long-life LEDs do not heat the stage or sample, greatly enhancing the flexibility for both research and advanced routine life science and material stereo microscopy.

Perfect oblique illumination
Most stereo microscopes use mirrors to create oblique illumination, which can lead to uneven and inconsistent contrast in the field of view. The SZX2 LED illumination system uses a fine shutter system of thin lamellae to produce ultra-precise and completely even oblique illumination. With this unique system, transparent samples can be seen with the same contrast across the entire field of view.

Correction ring
Observing samples under water in a petri dish usually leads to reduced image sharpness, making precise work at higher magnifications extremely difficult. This phenomenon is due to aberrations caused by the different refractive indices of air the petri dish cover and the water. To combat this, Olympus has introduced a correction ring which enables fine manipulation of the objective lens to compensate for these differences. This is the first time such as a facility has been used on a stereo microscope objective.

3.5x to 230x in one easy motion!
With the largest seamless zoom ratio combined with the most comprehensive range of parfocal objectives (0.5x, 1.0x, 1.6x & 2.0x), the SZX16 can take you from a macro-view to a micro-view. |

Ultimate visual comfort
The advanced Olympus ComfortView eyepieces on the SZX2 stereo microscopes enable a significantly larger range of eye movement for viewing the 3D image, making both short and long term use much more comfortable. This also makes it easier to form the stereo image, resulting in reduced occurrence of eyestrain. |

Ergonomic
Olympus believes that ergonomy is not an add-on and therefore each microscope is designed with the user in mind. As a result, all controls are easy to use and features like ComfortView and the low stage height, greatly reduce sources of stress. Olympus can even provide an observation tube capable of adjustment between 5° and 45° (to the horizontal), for situations where the stereo microscope is used at many different heights.

High speed imaging
With the SZX2 range being so versatile, you will want to document or show live digital views of your sample. By fitting the SZX2 stereos with a trinocular head and moving the objective in the axial imaging pathway provides a perpendicular view of the sample. Attaching the Olympus DP71 cooled digital camera produces a very flexible imaging station. This is designed for high resolution documentation (up to 12.5 mega pixels) as well as high-speed imaging for live views in both colour and monochrome. The advanced interface enables excellent colour reproduction and no visible colour shifts during sample movement.
