The Nikon SMZ800N is a versatile stereo microscope designed to deliver exceptional optical performance and advanced usability for a wide range of inspection, research, and industrial applications. Featuring Nikon’s renowned parallel-optics system, the SMZ800N offers a generous 8:1 zoom ratio (1x–8x), enabling both wide-field observation and high-magnification inspection with remarkable clarity.
Equipped with semi-apochromat optics, the SMZ800N achieves high-level chromatic aberration correction, ensuring sharp, true-to-life images without blur or colour fringing. Its advanced optical design provides a resolution of up to 640 LP/mm (using ED Plan Apo 2x/WF at maximum zoom), making it ideal for detailed analysis of minute structures.
The SMZ800N supports a broad selection of objectives and accessories, including wide-field Plan Apo lenses and ergonomic eyepiece tubes with various inclination angles to minimize user fatigue during prolonged observation. Its modular design allows for easy integration with digital imaging systems, trinocular tubes, and a range of illumination options such as LED diascopic stands, fibre optic illuminators, and ring lights.
With a robust working distance of 78 mm (with Plan 1x objective), the SMZ800N accommodates larger samples and facilitates efficient specimen handling. The microscope’s expandability and compatibility with Nikon’s Digital Sight cameras and NIS-Elements imaging software make it a future-proof solution for routine inspections, research, and development tasks.
