Optical systemGalileo
Zoom ratio12.5:1
Zoom range0.8X–10X
Viewing angle5°–45°
Research without compromise
High-resolution stereo imaging with natural colour.
The SZM-12 supports biological experiments, chemical analysis, cell culture, microelectronics and semiconductor inspection. Its apochromatic design corrects axial chromatic aberration across red, green, blue and violet wavelengths, converging them on one focal plane for faithful sample colour.
Ergonomic controls and a flexible viewing head reduce fatigue during extended observation, while selectable click stops provide repeatable magnification or smooth continuous zooming.
System highlights
Designed around demanding research.
Apochromatic objectives
Advanced correction brings red, green, blue and violet wavelengths into a shared focal plane, improving colour rendition and presenting samples with natural, accurate colour.
Tilting viewing head
The viewing angle adjusts from 5° to 45°, adapting to different operators and working postures for more comfortable extended observation.
Aperture diaphragm control
A front-mounted aperture adjustment provides direct control over depth of field for higher-quality images across varied samples.
Repeatable illumination
Adjust light intensity with the dimmer and read the exact brightness percentage on the base LCD, making it easier to record and reproduce the best illumination for each sample.
Large 12.5:1 zoom ratio
Zoom continuously from 0.8X to 10X. Main magnifications have click stops for repeatability, which can be disengaged whenever smooth continuous zoom is preferred.
Galileo optical performance
The man-machine engineered Galileo system produces detailed three-dimensional images with intuitive operation for biomedical and industrial research.
Cold-light and fluorescence imaging
Stress-free cold-light illumination delivers even, reflection-free fields across the zoom range. Optional fluorescence provides efficient detection of weak signals, while a large object field, working distance and depth of field simplify specimen manipulation.
Independent camera focus
A separate camera-focusing mechanism aligns the live screen image with the eyepiece focus. Once set, users can capture images while retaining maximum optical precision through the eyepieces.
Built for versatile applications
- Efficient LED illumination with low heat and long service life
- Accurate restoration of natural sample colour
