Aven Tools 26800B-373-1 SPZ-50 Binocular Microscope, 6.7x–50x, Ultra-Glide Stand & Integrated LED Ring Light
Aven Tools 26800B-373-1 SPZ-50 Binocular Microscope, 6.7x–50x, Ultra-Glide Stand & Integrated LED Ring Light
The Aven Tools 26800B-373-1 combines an SPZ-50 binocular stereo zoom microscope, 26800B-556 Ultra-Glide boom stand and 26200B-209 E-Arm focus mount with integrated LED ring light. Included 10x FN23 eyepieces provide 6.7x–50x optical magnification, with 108 mm working distance without an auxiliary lens. The 23-inch gliding arm supports inspection across larger workpieces, while 60 integrated LEDs provide dimmable illumination.
Set the assembly beneath the microscope, adjust the eyepieces to your eyesight and smoothly glide the arm between inspection points. Locking adjustments, a heavy metal base and a post safety collar support a stable inspection setup. Because the ring light is built into the focus mount, there is no separately clamped ring light to loosen above the specimen.

Is the LED light integrated?
Yes. The 60-LED ring is built into the 26200B-209 E-Arm focus mount and includes dimmer control.
What is the working distance?
108 mm without an auxiliary lens. Optional auxiliary lenses change the working distance.
Does it include a camera or monitor?
Neither is listed in the supplied package contents. This binocular system is configured for direct optical viewing.
How does the Ultra-Glide stand help?
The 23-inch gliding arm supports smooth scanning across a larger work area. Locking adjustments and a heavy base support positioning.
Can it reach 200x?
Aven describes up to 200x with optional auxiliary optics and eyepieces. The supplied configuration is 6.7x–50x; the upgrades are sold separately.
Can operators adjust the eyepieces?
Yes. Interpupillary distance adjusts from 52 to 75 mm, and both eyepiece tubes provide diopter adjustment.
Is the lighting polarized or the system ESD-safe?
The supplied documentation does not establish either rating. This listing does not claim polarization or complete-system ESD safety.
