Aven Tools 26800B-373-8 SPZ-50 Binocular Stereo Zoom Microscope, 6.7x–50x, with Ultra-Glide Stand & LED Fiber Optic Light
Aven Tools 26800B-373-8 SPZ-50 Binocular Stereo Zoom Microscope, 6.7x–50x, with Ultra-Glide Stand & LED Fiber Optic Light
The Aven 26800B-373-8 combines an SPZ-50 binocular stereo zoom microscope with an Ultra-Glide boom stand, E-Arm focus mount and separate 20 W LED fiber-optic illuminator supplying a ring light. The included 10x eyepieces provide 6.7x–50x optical magnification. A 23-inch gliding arm lets you move the microscope across larger specimens, while the fanless illuminator provides adjustable lighting without distracting fan noise.
At the inspection bench, glide the optical head across a part instead of repeatedly repositioning it. Adjust the focus and illumination to examine individual features through the stereo eyepieces. This is an optical binocular system; no camera, imaging software or monitor is listed in the package.
