The SM-4NTP is a heavy-duty, highly-flexible microscope designed for biological and industrial applications. This model is especially popular in the QC, repair and engraving industries thanks to its ease-of-use and reliability. This model features a zoom-lock to maintain consistent magnification when needed, and uses focusable eyepieces rather than integrated dioptric adjusters. With its wide zoom range and double-arm boom-stand, this model will become an indispensable instrument in any workshop or lab. The trinocular photo-port is simul-focal, so it can be used simultaneously with both eyepieces.
Optics
The stereo optics provide clear, sharp images with excellent focus-depth and a large working-distance. With 0.7X-4.5X zoom objectives, moving through the magnification range is as easy as turning a knob. A zoom-lock allows the objectives to be set to a consistent magnification when needed. 10X wide-field eyepieces provide an ample magnification range from 7X to 45X, with high-eyepoint optics to accommodate glasses or goggles.
Ocular Adjustment
The ocular tubes are not equipped with dioptric adjusters, so focus is more consistent. Focusable eyepieces are included to compensate for vision irregularities, and are available in various optional magnifications. Rotating interpupillary adjusters simplify the process of aligning the eyepieces for each user.
Simul-focal Trinocular Port
The simul-focal optics in this microscope allow the trinocular port to be used simultaneously with both eyepieces. This means a camera can stream live images from the microscope while you continue to work with full stereoscopic vision. This is accomplished by sharing the left objective lens with the left ocular and the photo-port. This microscope uses our CX series trinocular port, so it can be easily replaced with optional C-mount ports to match specific cameras.
Double-arm Boom-Stand
The multi-pivoting, double-arm stand provides a stable, flexible support system, ideal for hands-on work. Use of a drop-down column allows the head to be positioned at virtually any angle. Ball-bearing provide smooth movement of the lateral arms, which can easily pivot the microscope out of the way when it is not needed. The heavy, steel base ensures the stability of the microscope, even when laden with attachments.
Additional Items
This package includes a powerful 30W LED illuminator with a fiber-optic gooseneck. The energy-efficient light-source projects bright, daylight-balanced light which is channeled through a 22" gooseneck fiber-optic light-guide. This allows you to project light from virtually any angle, targeting specific details of the object being viewed. The flexible, heavy-duty metal-sheathed guides will hold up to heavy use in your workshop, factory, or lab without worry of crimping or breaking. The light-source is equipped with an active cooling system which is much quieter than comparable incandescent illuminators due to the lower heat level generated by LEDs.
