Research Stereo Microscope System Meet the Challenge of Life Science Imaging

A New Dimension in Stereo Microscopy Olympus SZX2 series stereo microscopes are up to the challenge of leading-edge microscopy a pplications, offering an exceptionally wide zoom ratio and high numerical aperture (NA). Excellent image clarity and a flexible optical system make the SZX2 series easy to use, while their advanced optics, improved functionality, and ergonomic design deliver an outstanding user experience. Modern life science laboratories require the most effective imaging tools to observe a vast quantity of live specimens. The SZX2 stereo microscope series is designed to meet...

I P3-P8 A New Dimension in Image Clarity The images are consistently sharp due to the high NA and multi-wavelength, astigmatism-free design that reduces aberration. From low to high magnification, you can achieve excellent bright and fluorescence observation. IP9-P10 Comfortable to Use The long working distance (W.D.), high NA, and illuminated base accommodate a variety of sample types for an efficient workflow. I P11-P12 Flexible Transmitted Illumination The LED illumination base enables the user to choose cartridges and to easily switch the observation method and contrast. I P13-P14...

SDF Objectives Provide Suitable Specimen Viewing from Large Field Overviews to Microstructures GFP-expressed neuroepithelial cell of an adult mouse brain (slice obtained 24 hours after GFP-expressing vector was transferred by in vivo electroporation during estrus stage)

The SZX16 microscope offers good optical performance for nearly any application. Olympus SDF objective lenses have a high numerical aperture (NA), providing remarkable detail and clarity when viewing microstructures. With an extra-wide zoom range of 7.0x-115x, this all-in-one microscope answers a range of needs from low-magnification imaging to detailed, high-magnification observations. These features enable the user to view live specimens with low contrast and observe microstructures. High NA The SZX16 has an outstanding NA rating with 2X objective lenses. The optical performance is 30%...

Sharp Images That Enhance Your Research

Setting the Standard in Image Clarity The microscope's multi-wavelength, astigmatism-free design effectively eliminates image-deforming aberrations, enabling remarkably sharp 3D imaging and enhanced specimen manipulation. With an apochromatic lens system that effectively reduces chromatic aberration, the latest proprietary SZX16 optical system provides vivid 3D observation images of various specimens. Sharp, Detailed Observation of Specimens Non astigmatism- free design By reducing astigmatism, SDF objective lenses prevent the image Imaging lens deforming in the pre- and post-focal planes,...

Efficient Observation from Low to High Magnification, Even in Fluorescence Imaging

Bright fluorescence observation is important in biological and medical research. Weak fluorescence is a common problem when observing specimens at low magnification under a stereo microscope. The SZX16 microscope enables even and bright fluorescence observation from low to high magnifications. High NA for Bright Fluorescence Observation The SDF lenses' high NA greatly improves fluorescence sensitivity. Furthermore, the newly designed near-vertical reflected light illuminator's excitation light paths are independent from the observation paths, enabling substantially improved excitation light...

Ergonomically Designed and Optimized for User Comfort

Configure the Microscope to Match Your Needs The SZX2 microscope handles a variety of specimens and operations—from large specimens such as mice to small ones, including Zebrafish, nematodes, C. elegans, or drosophila eggs—with an effective combination of high numerical aperture and wide working space. Moreover, the transmitted light illumination base is thin (only 41.5 mm (1.6 in.)) to provide a wide working space and enable multiple users to work comfortably. Wide Working Space and High NA W.D. 60 mm and NA 0.15 from the 1X objective Easy-to-access 2X objectives and correction collar The...

Choose the Right Contrast and Observation Method for Your Research

With a slim 41.5 mm design that is approximately half the thickness of previous halogen transmitted light illumination bases, our LED transmitted light illumination bases have a lower height to enable a low eyepoint and easy access to base-mounted samples during observation and operation. The LED illumination base SZX2-ILLTQ with quad-position turret enables the user to choose cartridges and to switch from brightfield (standard/high/low), oblique (standard/high/low), darkfield, polarized illumination, and the shutter with a simple turn. A one-position LED illumination base is also an option...
