Product Overview

The Nikon SMZ1270 is Nikon’s flagship research stereo microscope, offering the highest-in-class 12.7:1 zoom ratio (6.3X–80X) for seamless macro-to-micro transitions with wide viewfield at low magnification and sharp, bright images through the entire field at high magnification. The Plan Apo 1X bottom objective delivers exceptional flatness and contrast, while the ergo tilting binocular head reduces neck and shoulder fatigue during extended sessions. The C-mount camera port enables straightforward digital documentation. Paired with the Diagnostic Instruments TLB3000 — a large-format fiber optic transmitted light base with tiltable and sliding mirror — this system is ideally suited for aquatic specimens, large tissue preparations, and dissection workflows requiring flexible, high-intensity transmitted illumination without heat buildup. This is an excellent-condition system ready for immediate use.
