Stemi 1000, Stemi 2000, Stemi 2000-C NOTES OF DEVICE SAFETY The Stemi 1000, Stemi 2000 or the Stemi 2000-C stereo microscope including original accessories or options must only be used for the microscopy applications described in this operating manual. The manufacturer cannot assume any liability for any other applications, possibly also involving indi- vidual modules or single parts.
While the Stemi 1000 and Stemi 2000 are units for visual stereoscopic observation, with its trinocular tube the Stemi 2000-C offers all possibilities of micrographic and video image documentation.
Stemi 1000, Stemi 2000, Stemi 2000-C Description of the units The Stemi 1000, Stemi 2000 and Stemi 2000-C are highly powerful stereo microscopes that are dis- tinguished by compact and ergonomic design. Figure 1-1 shows the principal assemblies of the Stemi 2000-C.
Stemi 1000, Stemi 2000, Stemi 2000-C Figure 1-2 schematically shows the optical beam path in the Stemi 2000-C. The unit is switched over between the right tube connector and the camera output with the aid of an adjustable reflector group located under the tube system that features 100/0 % and 0/100 % intensities.
