SMZ25 / SMZ18

Breakthrough Stereo Microscope Optics

Traditional boundaries between scientific fields such as molecular biology and developmental biology are rapidly disappearing as researchers seek to connect findings at the molecular level to those derived from cellular, tissue, and organismal studies. Fields including molecular biology, cell biology, neurobiology, embryology, developmental biology and systems biology have increasing needs for imaging systems that span spatial scales from single cells to whole organisms.

SMZ745 / 745T

7.5x zoom and 115 mm working distance

Featuring a zoom magnification of 7.5X and a long working distance of 115mm, Nikon SMZ745 microscopes are well suited for both industrial and biomedical applications. The adoption of a new total reflection prism produces brighter images with higher contrast, and the anti-mold design allows the microscope to be used in environments where the temperature and humidity are high. The SMZ-745T trinocular model comes equipped with a microscope camera port and a built-in 0.55x c-mount adapter, permitting direct mounting of Nikon DS Series Digital Cameras.

Extremely high 7.5x zoom range
Superior 115mm working distance
Three “A” design: Air-tight (SMZ745), Anti-fungal design (SMZ745/SMZ745T), Anti-electrostatic (SMZ745/SMZ745T)
Trinocular optical head is ideal for monitoring and digital imaging (SMZ745T)

SMZ445 / SMZ460

Premium performance in a compact body

The SMZ445 and SMZ460 deliver the outstanding optical performance you expect from Nikon's cutting-edge series of stereoscopic zoom microscopes. Porro prisms enable a lightweight, compact design. With 0.8x - 3.5x zoom magnification (SMZ445) and 0.7x - 3.0x zoom magnification (SMZ460), and diascopic/episcopic LED Stand, the SMZ445 and SMZ460 let you observe a wide range of specimens, from Petri dishes to plants, insects, small animals and minerals.
