Motic Pole stand with head holder, incident-transmitted-LED (46654)

This pole stand is designed for advanced microscopy applications, offering both transmitted and incident illumination options. It is compatible with the SMZ-171 series and features a robust construction suitable for laboratory and industrial environments. The stand includes a head holder, a tilting reflector for oblique illumination, and supports the adaptation of a flexible light guide. Both incident and transmitted illumination use powerful 3W LEDs with intensity control, and the stand also provides a cold light input for additional lighting flexibility. The package includes black/white and frosted glass stage plates, as well as a dust cover.

SMZ-171 Series Overview

The SMZ-171 Stereo Zoom microscope is an advanced addition to Motic’s established SMZ Stereo series, featuring improved optics, ESD-compatible materials, and optimized LED illumination. It is ideal for both routine and research applications in biological, medical, and material science fields. The Greenough optical system ensures clear, distortion-free images with a wide 6.7:1 zoom range. The microscope is highly adaptable, with a variety of accessories and stands, and can be easily upgraded for digital documentation with Moticam cameras.

General Specifications

• Greenough Optical System

• Achromatic optics with anti-fungus treatment

• Widefield binocular or trinocular observation tube, 45° inclined (light distribution 0:100 right eyetube/trinotube in photo position)

• Widefield high eyepoint eyepieces, WF 10X/23 with diopter adjustment (+/- 5 dpt)

• Interpupillary distance: 48-75 mm

• Zoom ratio: 6.7:1 with 5 clickstops

• Standard magnification: 7.5X-50X

• Working distance: 110 mm

Zoom Range

The 6.7:1 zoom ratio provides a standard magnification range from 7.5x to 50x. The parfocal optical system maintains focus throughout the zoom range. Auxiliary objectives and eyepieces can extend the total magnification from 2.25X up to 200X.

Auxiliary Objectives

A standard working distance of 110 mm allows for easy sample manipulation at any magnification. Maximum field diameter at lowest zoom with 10X eyepieces is 30.7 mm.

Eyepieces

Widefield 10x/23 mm eyepieces are comfortable for all users, including those wearing glasses, and feature individual diopter adjustments (+/- 5 dpt). Additional magnifications and reticules are available.

3-D Imaging

The Greenough optical system provides fully separated optical paths, resulting in high-quality, distortion-free 3D images. The system achieves a maximum resolving power of 460 lp/mm with a 2x auxiliary objective.

Working Distance

The standard working distance is 110 mm and can be extended to 301 mm with auxiliary objectives. For higher total magnification, combine objectives less than 1X with high-magnification eyepieces (up to 20x).

Optical Heads

Available in binocular or trinocular versions with a 45° viewing angle, 10X eyepieces, and a built-in 1X objective. Interpupillary distance is adjustable from 48 mm to 75 mm. A 60° binocular head is available for specialized needs. All optics are anti-fungus treated for use in humid environments.

Modular Configuration

The SMZ-171 is compatible with a variety of stands, including classic pole stands (32 mm diameter), arm stands, and industrial boom stands for larger samples.

Illumination

A wide range of illumination options is available, including ring lights for shadow-free imaging and cold light sources with light guides for detailed surface visualization.

Digital Documentation

The SMZ-171 can be paired with Moticam digital cameras and software to create a complete documentation and analysis workstation. The trinocular version supports different camera adapters for various chip sizes.

Accessories

• 360° rotatable gliding stage for multidirectional sample movement

• Attachable x/y-stage with 76 x 54 mm travel range for precise movement

• Polarizer and analyzer for birefringence analysis

• Darkfield insert with iris diaphragm for adjustable illumination aperture
