Olympus szx16 specifications Observation tube with convergence angle relieves eyestrain

Ergonomic design for working ease

Optimal convergence angle plus tilting trinocular tube reduces fatigue.

The SZX2 brings greater working comfort with an observation tube featuring a convergence angle that relieves eyestrain. Moreover, the tilting trinocular tube and slim transmitted light illumination base enable natural posture for increased work efficiency during observation and manipulation tasks of long duration.

Convergence

angle

In cooperation with opthalmologists, a correlation between stereomicroscope optical systems and eyestrain has been confirmed. Specifically, the angle between right and left lines of vision (convergence angle) is directly related to it. The SZX2 series provides an optimum convergence angle that is designed to allow users to observe in a natural position suited to the eye. This solution effectively eliminates eyestrain during long-time observation.

■Tilting trinocular tube allows for natural posture, reduces fatigue

The tilting trinocular tube easily adjusts to the exact angle desired (5º – 45º). Regardless of desk height, the tilting trinocular tube assures a natural posture during long-time observation. As fatigue and stress are greatly relieved, oversights are avoided and work efficiency is increased.

■Designed for efficiency: zoom and focus handles

Close positioning of zoom handle and focus handle enable stress-free, blind operation. Fine adjustment of the focusing handle offers increased sensitivity for easy focusing at high magnification. In addition, the rigid body provides stable observation.

■Slim design minimizes fatigue and lowers eyepoint

Illumination bases are designed not only to be easy to use but fatigue-free. The Slim LED transmitted light illumination base, at 41mm, lowers the eyepoint and makes access to specimens easier than ever. The wide stage surface easily accommodates Petri dishes and other specimen containers during observation and manipulation.
