The Am SM-1TS-L6W-M digital professional stereo zoom
micro has a pair of 10x super-widefield high-eyepoint
eyepieces, a 0.7x-4.5x zoom objective, and a pillar stand. The
micro has an overall magnification range of 7x-45x. The
1.3MP camera has a CMOS color sensor, a reduction lens, image
capture and editing software, and USB 2.0 output to capture or
display still or video images on a computer or projector. The
trinocular viewing head has an interpupillary range of 55 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. The WH10x20mm
super-widefield high-eyepoint eyepieces combine with the
0.7x-4.5x zoom objective to provide zoom magnification and a
longer working distance for inspecting large-scale specimens that
require handling or repair. High-eyepoint eyepieces ease viewing
for users who wear glasses, and dioptric adjustment accommodates
individual eye-strength differences. A digital 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, and is used where image
capture, detailed records, or documentation is required.
The 1.3MP digital camera has a CMOS color sensor for displaying
still microscopy images and streaming live videos to a computer
or projector. The camera has 40x magnification and a 0.37x
reduction lens that ensures that the display has a similar field
of view as the micro eyepiece. The camera can be ed in
a C- or any 23mm eye tube. The camera includes image capture
and editing software that provides still image and live video
capture and editing capability, including measurement functions.
The software supports JPG, TIF, GIF, PSD, WMF, and BMP file
formats and is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8; Mac
OS X; and Linux. Camera drivers are compatible with Windows XP,
Vista, 7, and 8; Mac OS X; and Linux. The software includes
Windows APIs for native C/C++, C#, DirectShow, Twain, and LabVIEW
that enable custom application development. The camera has a USB
2.0 data port (cable included).
The 6W LED light has two flexible gooseneck lights to provide
bright cool light for working with temperature-sensitive or live
specimens, and a rheostat controls the a of light emanating
from the lamp. Each gooseneck is 23-1/4" (590mm). The light uses
a 85V-265V power supply. The table stand has a reversible black
and white stage plate that provides contrast with light- and
dark-colored specimens, and stage clips to secure the specimen in
place. The stage plate has a 3-3/4" diameter (95mm). The stand is
10 x 7-7/8 x 10-3/4 inches/254 x 200 x 275mm (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.
