Nikon Zoom Stereomicroscope SMZ18, trino, 0.75x-13.5x, Plan APO1x, W.D.60mm, P-PS32 (65798)

The SMZ25 and SMZ18 stereo microscopes are designed to meet the evolving needs of modern scientific research, providing exceptional imaging from the macro to micro scale. These microscopes are ideal for fields such as molecular biology, cell biology, neurobiology, embryology, developmental biology, and systems biology, where researchers require imaging systems that can span from single cells to whole organisms. Nikon’s innovative optical technology delivers a large zoom ratio, high resolution, and outstanding fluorescence transmission, making these instruments highly versatile for advanced imaging applications.

Breakthrough Zoom and Imaging Performance

• The SMZ25 features the world’s first 25:1 zoom ratio (0.63x – 15.75x), allowing users to capture both entire 35 mm dishes and microscopic details with a single instrument.

• Nikon’s Perfect Zoom System dynamically adjusts the distance between optical axes as the zoom factor changes, maximizing light entry, maintaining high resolution in both eye paths, and minimizing aberrations across the entire zoom range.

• The SHR Plan Apo series objective lens delivers superior resolution up to 1100LP/mm, providing brilliant, true-to-life images.

Advanced Optical and Illumination Features

• Auto Link Zoom (ALZ) on the SMZ25 automatically adjusts zoom to maintain the same field of view when switching objectives, supporting seamless transitions between overview and detailed imaging.

• The fly-eye lens system in the epi-fluorescence attachment ensures bright, uniform illumination even at low magnifications.

• Enhanced signal-to-noise ratio enables clear fluorescent imaging, making it possible to capture low fluorescence signals and light-sensitive events, such as cell division.

• Short wavelength, high transmission lenses and advanced epi-fluorescence attachments improve detection of emission signals compared to conventional stereo microscopes.

User-Friendly Lighting and Controls

• The LED DIA Base with built-in OCC (oblique coherent contrast) illumination enhances contrast on uneven or transparent samples, such as embryos. The OCC system allows for easy adjustment and reproducibility of lighting conditions.

• The remote controller offers convenient access to zoom and focus, with an LCD monitor displaying key settings such as zoom factor, objective lens, filter cube, and LED brightness.

• The P2-RNI2 Intelligent Nosepiece enables quick switching between stereoscopic and on-axis imaging for digital documentation.
