 The Optical Muscle of a Research Microscope…
...and the versatility of an Optem® Zoom. When resolving the finest details of your subject is mission critical to your application, but the operation of a conventional research microscope is too cumbersome, the Optem® Zoom 160 Optical System is the perfect solution.
With it’s unprecedented zoom range and resolution, the Zoom 160 can be easily configured to deliver optical performance rivaling that of benchtop research microscopes. Combine this optical performance with the added versatility of continuous 16:1 field-of-view and magnification flexibility, automatable zoom and focus functions, and crisp video output... and you have a powerful research instrument worthy of today’s rapidly advancing high-definition video technologies.
A robust 16:1 zoom ratio covers magnifications from 0.5X to 8.0X at 89mm working distance in nominal configuration. The innovative optical design incorporates the highest-grade glass and is reinforced with equally refined components and accessories. Imaging through these elevated optical standards, the Zoom 160 System offers a maximum resolution of 0.30 NA and 900 lp/mm.
