Nikon P-IDT Drawing Tube (65453)

The Nikon P-IDT Drawing Tube is a unique accessory for stereo microscopes that allows users to create accurate drawings of observed specimens by directly tracing the microscope image. This is achieved by overlaying the live microscope view with a drawing within the field of view, making it easy to trace sample outlines and details with precision. The drawing tube is especially valuable in educational, research, and documentation settings where visual records of specimens are required. A convenient knob lets users quickly remove the drawing overlay from view by blocking the light path, allowing for uninterrupted observation when needed.

Function and Features:

• Enables users to trace observed images by overlaying the live microscope view with a drawing in the field of view

• Facilitates the creation of precise sample drawings for documentation, teaching, or research purposes

• The overlay can be easily removed from the view by turning a knob that blocks the light path

• Designed for use with compatible Nikon stereo microscopes, such as the SMZ1270, SMZ1270i, and SMZ800N

• Maintains comfortable observation posture with ergonomic design

Applications:
Educational environments for teaching microscopy and scientific illustration
Research laboratories for documenting specimen features
Industrial or clinical settings where accurate visual records are necessary

The Nikon P-IDT Drawing Tube is an essential tool for anyone needing to produce detailed, hand-drawn records of microscope observations, combining direct visual tracing with the flexibility to switch seamlessly between drawing and standard viewing.
