The Tagarno ZAP+ Digital microscope has just received a major upgrade in May 2026 with a new Sony camera deliverying faster processing, improved image clarity and smoother operation. The ZAP+ is customisable with multipe mounting and software options to suit individual needs. Magnification ranges from 0.8x to 660x with interchangeable lenses.
Superb image quality with FHD 1080p resolution in 16:9 format and 60 fps providing almost zero latency. With auto-focus and built-in laser pointer the ZAP is ideal for large samples.
Connect the Tagarno ZAP directly to an HD 1080p monitor with HDMI cable (we recommend a minimum 24" monitor). ZAP also has a USB 3.0 output to connect to your PC to transfer images using the native Windows camera App.
Customize the ZAP+ with additional features and software to make sure it evolves with you instead of having to invest in a new microscope.
Here's why professionals across industries choose the Tagarno ZAP+ for their inspection tasks:
- Multiple Stand mounting options
- 30x Motorised optical zoom
- Wide magnification range: 0.8x - 660x (with accessory lenses and depends upon stand mounting option)
- Super Wide Field of View 290 mm and Working Distance 250mm (with standard lens)
- Access to Software Apps and advanced features to improve inspection
- Built-in laser pointer to help find the area of interest in your sample
- Interface with HDMI and USB 3.0
Brighter, faster and better colours with new camera - ZAP+ features a new Sony camera with improved dynamic range, allowing details on reflective surfaces, solder joints, or mixed-contrast objects to appear clearly, even with less manual adjustment required compared to previous versions of the ZAP microscope.
The new camera, as seen on this photo, also has better colour reproduction and sensitivity, creating brighter images with less noise and colours that are more natural and reliable.
A faster image processor also allows for quicker adjustments of settings and more efficient inspections overall.
