Optika Stereomicroscope SLX-2 Binocular Zoom

Optika Stereomicroscope SLX-2 Binocular Zoom

The stereomicroscopes of the SLX series are instruments specifically designed for the laboratory and industry. Their optical and mechanical qualities place them at the top of the most favourite category for aplliances due to their exceptional price/quality ratio. Sharing the same optical system, consisting of binocular and trinocular heads with zoom objectives, the four models of the SZM series find their proper application wherever professional instruments are required at a particularly reasonable cost. The numerous accessories provide an ample choice of possible configurations and extend the flexible use of the instruments. Basic set: binocular head 45° inclined, 360° rotating, zoom objective 0.7x to 4.5x, eyepieces WF 10x/23, with reflected and transmitted ilumination, halogen 12V/20W. Light intensity adjustable for both lighting units.

Instructions for Use:

Microscope Environment
This microscope should be used in a clean, dry, and shock-free environment with a temperature range of 5°-40°C and a maximum relative humidity of 75% (non-condensing). Use a dehumidifier if necessary.

Cleaning the Optics

If optical parts need to be cleaned, try the following steps:

• First, use compressed air.
• If this is not sufficient: Use a soft, lint-free cloth with water and a mild detergent.
• As a last option: Use a cloth moistened with a 3:7 mixture of ethanol and ether.
  Note: Ethanol and ether are highly flammable liquids. Do not use them near heat sources, sparks, or electrical equipment. Work in a well-ventilated area.
  Remember never to wipe the surfaces of optical parts with your bare hands. Fingerprints can damage the optics.

Do not disassemble objectives or eyepieces to clean them.
