The Am SW-3T24Z trinocular stereo micro head has a
2x/4x objective, a pair of 10x20mm widefield high-eyepoint
eyepieces, a 2.0x Barlow lens, and a single-arm boom stand. The
micro head has a 3" O-ring style ing ring. The
trinocular viewing head has an interpupillary range of 47 to
75mm, a 45-degree inclination to reduce eye and neck strain, and
360-degree rotation to enable sharing. The vertical trinocular
port can be used as a C- or 23mm photo port (camera sold
separately). The WF10x20mm super-widefield high-eyepoint
eyepieces combine with the 2x/4x objective to provide 20x, 40x,
and 80x magnification, and a longer working distance for
inspecting large-scale specimens that require handling or repair.
The micro includes a 2.0x Barlow lens that can be added to
the objective to increase the magnification range. A Barlow lens
with a magnification greater than 1.0 increases the magnification
and reduces the working distance. High-eyepoint eyepieces ease
viewing for users who wear glasses, dioptric adjustment
accommodates individual eye-strength differences, and eye guards
ensure comfortable viewing. The optical glass lenses provide
sharp images, and are fully-coated to ensure high-resolution
images. A stereo micro, sometimes called an inspection or
dissection micro, has low magnification and a long working
distance that enables users to manipulate the object being
inspected.
Ambient lighting illuminates the specimen, eliminating the need
for power or batteries. The micro has a 17" pillar that has
an 8" vertical working distance. The 16" single-arm boom has a
24" overall length. Bilateral focus eases use for left- and
right-handed users. The micro head can be rotated on the X-
and Y-axis. The solid cast-steel base is 1-3/4 x 9 x 9 inches (H
x W x D, where H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest
to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left
to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to
back).

Micros are instruments used to enhance the resolution of an
object or image. Types include compound, stereo, or digital.
Compound micros use a compound optical system with an
objective lens and an eyepiece. Stereo micros show object
depth in a three-dimensional image. Digital micros are used
to display an image on a monitor, rather than looking through a
lens. Micros can have monocular (one), binocular (two), or
trinocular (three) eyepieces, with varying magnification
abilities. Magnification ability refers to the size of an image.
Resolution, also known as resolvant power, refers to the clarity
of the image. The interaction between field of view (FOV),
numerical aperture (NA), and working distance (WD) determines
resolution. Micros can control magnification through a fixed
focus, or through a range of adjustments. They can also utilize
LED, fluorescent, and mirror light sources to help control
viewing capabilities. Micros are widely used in education,
lab research, biology, metallurgy, engineering, chemistry,
manufacturing, and in the medical, forensic science, and
veterinary industries.
