🔧 Product Description

The Olympus SZX10 is one of Olympus's flagship research-grade stereo zoom microscopes, built around the SZX optical platform that set the standard for flatness, resolution, and zoom range in stereo microscopy. This complete system is configured on an LED transmitted light base, making it immediately ready for diascopic (transmitted) illumination workflows straight out of the box.

At the heart of the system is the SZX10 zoom body paired with a Plan Apo 1X objective — Olympus's apochromatic correction at the auxiliary objective level, which minimizes chromatic aberration and delivers a flat, sharp, color-accurate image from center to edge. This is a meaningful upgrade over standard achromat objectives, particularly for imaging or documentation work where color fidelity and edge sharpness matter.

The trinocular head splits the optical path to a camera port without sacrificing the full eyepiece image, enabling simultaneous live observation and image capture. The LED transmitted light base provides stable, flicker-free illumination with consistent color temperature — ideal for specimens on slides, in Petri dishes, or on transparent substrates. This system has been professionally refurbished and is in excellent condition.


🔎 Typical Applications

  • Live specimen observation and dissection with transmitted illumination
  • Developmental biology, embryology, and aquatic specimen work
  • Pathology and histology slide overview at stereo magnification
  • Documentation and imaging via trinocular camera port
  • Electronics inspection and precision assembly with diascopic lighting
