There is an increasing demand to optically view in high-resolution, for both micro- and macro-applications. Nikon has developed two new stereo microscopes to address these needs. The motorized zoom SMZ25 and manual-intelligent zoon SMZ18. Easy-to-use, both devices offer a zoom range of 25:1, provide bright, high-contrast fluorescent images, as well as automation and digital imaging. They are suitable for industrial fields including materials research, optics and electronics inspections and micro-manufactured assemblies. Hoskin Scientific Ltd.
