Zooming Bodies

There are two types of zooming bodies for parallel optics stereo microscopes: the SMZ18 Zooming Body with a manual
zooming mechanism and the SMZ25 Zooming Body with an automatic zooming mechanism.

SMZ18 Zooming Body

1.1
This model, which offers high NA, is designed for manual zoom
operations.
Attach the zooming body to the focus unit through the P2-FM
Focus Mount Adapter or the P2-RNI2 Intelligent Nosepiece.
Attach an objective to the objective mount at the bottom of the
zooming body. Two switchable objectives with different
magnifications can be attached when used in combination with a
P2-RNI2 Intelligent Nosepiece.
Attach a relevant tube to the round dovetail of the tube mount at
the top of the zooming body. The microscope system can be
extended by attaching a coaxial epi illuminator or epi fluorescence
attachment to the tube mount round dovetail.
For systems where a control box has been connected, the zoom
information is sent to the control box via a motorized focus unit or
relay box, and then transmitted to the DS-L4 camera control unit
or personal computer.
The SMZ18 Zooming Body in combination with the dedicated
P2-FMDN Focus Mount enables system configuration with
various types of stands with a 32-dia support pillar. Adding the
P2-EFLI Epi Fluorescence Attachment to this system enables
epi-fluorescence microscopy. Note that the P2-EFLM Motorized
Epi Fluorescence Attachment cannot be used.
Restriction
Tubes, intermediate tubes and objectives of the previous SMZ series cannot be used.
 Image zooming
Images can be zoomed in and out using the zoom knobs on
the right and left sides of the zooming body.
Turning the knob backward: Magnification increase
Turning the knob forward: Magnification decrease
Turning the knob causes the magnification to continuously
change in the range from 0.75x to 13.5x (18:1 zoom ratio).
Magnification values are marked on the zoom knobs.
Click stop of the zoom knobs operates at the positions of
0.75x, 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 12x, and 13.5x. It is also
possible to deactivate the click stop function.
