Nikon SMZ25 / SM18

A Giant step Forward for stereo Microscopy

The SMZ25 and SMZ18 are revolutionizing stereomicroscopy with their unique zoom range, along with modularity, comfort and ultra-high-performance optics. These new SMZ cover a wide range of functionality, from basic stereoscopic images of unparalled quality to the most sophisticated observation.

The SMZ25/SMZ18 is ideally suited for both industrial tasks as well as bioscience and medical applications. The extremely large zoom range and high resolution allows users to image the sample from its entirety down to its microscopic details.

The largest zoom range (25:1) (SMZ25) and exceptional resolution

The new Nikon stereo microscopes incorporate a newly developed zoom system (Perfect Zoom System). The Perfect Zoom System is a breakthrough in stereo microscope design, enabling both an incredible zoom range of 25:1 (0.63-15.17x) and a high numerical aperture of 0.156 (for SMZ25, 1x Objective, at the highest zoom), which allow researchers to image both the entire sample as well as its microscopic details using just a single instrument.

Especially, the SMZ25 boasts a 35mm field of view at the lowest magnification of 0.63x (using 1x objective, 10 x eyepieces), enabling users to image the entire 35mm dish. At the high magnification range, Nikon’s newly developed high performance objective lenses allow imaging of microscopic structures once considered too small to visualize on a stereo microscope.
