SMZ800


The affordable answer SMZ800
The SMZ800 is a shining example of Nikon's commitment to excellence. By utilizing an ergonomic design to improve the operator's posture while working, the SMZ800 reduces fatigue caused by long hours of observation. In addition to superb optical performance, this microscope features an array of useful accessories, allowing the system to grow as your requirements change. And perhaps the nicest thing of all is its affordable price. 

 
The SMZ800 has it all. Superb optical performance, easy handling and comfortable observation, plus a wide range of accessories allowing easy system upgrade. 

    At Nikon, a world leader and pioneer in optical instruments, we are proud of our never-ending commitment to provide the very best in optical performance. At the same time, we realize that this philosophy means nothing if we fail to create products designed with the end-user in mind. 

    No matter how superior the technology used in a given product may be, that product has no real value unless it serves the needs of the customer. That is why we design our products only after thorough market research and use the most up-to-date Nikon technologies to create microscopes that are unrivaled in the field. 

    The SMZ800 is a shining example of Nikon's commitment to excellence. By utilizing a new ergonomic design to improve the operator's posture while working, the SMZ800 reduces fatigue caused by long hours of observation. In addition to superb optical performance, this microscope features an array of useful accessories, allowing the system to grow as your requirements change. And perhaps the nicest thing of all is its affordable price. 

    Unrivaled optical performance, ergonomic design, and a variety of accessories to meet your requirements make the SMZ800 the instruments of the 21st century. 

    In pursuit of sharper and brighter images, Nikon has developed a new series of objectives featuring high N.A.'s and high resolving power. For example, when used with the SMZ1000, the Plan Apo 1x objective boasts an N.A. of 0.1 and a resolving power of 300 lines/mm to produce images that are tack-sharp and display optimum contrast with a minimum flare, right out to the periphery. 

    The standard binocular eyepiece tube is inclined 20 degrees, allowing you to observe samples without having to lean forward. This reduces fatigue during long hours of operation by reducing strain on your neck, shoulders, and back. 
 

Stereo Fluorescence Illuminator 
  Stereo microscopes have become an important part of fluorescence microscopy. Large field of view and ample working distance make them ideal for sorting and selecting specimens. With Nikon's Stereo Fluorescence Illuminator, bright high contrast images are produced. This illuminator offers the flexibility of four filter positions and an optional photo/video port. The Photo/Video port is unique because it attaches directly to the illuminator to assure that largest fields of view are possible with the least amount of light loss. 

 
20° eyepiece tube inclination 
Image
The inclination of the standard eyepiece tube is 20°, allowing the operator to make observations with a straight back. This reduces fatigue during long hours of operation by lessening strain on the neck, shoulders, and back.
Optimum eye-level positioning
Image
With the tilting eyepiece tube, the eye-level can be adjusted within a maximum range of 157mm (6.2"). 
This is accomplished by swinging the eyepieces up 180° as well as tilting them.
The tilting eyepiece tube makes it possible to adjust the eyepiece inclination between 0°and 30°. 
Image
Nikon has also developed a new ergonomic objective (Plan 1X ERGO) that can be extended or retracted up to 40mm (1.6") to obtain the optimum operator eye-level without changing the magnification or working distance. Moreover, the low eye-level eyepiece tube enables a comfortable observation posture even when using a diascopic stand or when an intermediate tube is inserted. An eye-level riser is also available.
Large, streamlined base ensures easy operation
Image
The Plain Focusing Stand features a low profile for easy handling of samples. Furthermore, the base has a wide front and smooth curves, allowing operators to work while resting their arms in a natural position.
Diascopic stand with large-diameter stage glass
Image The stage glass in the diascopic stand has been enlarged. This allows large Petri dishes to slide over its smooth surface with ease, making it possible to view samples up to their periphery. You can also rest your hands on the armrest to reduce stress while working.

 

The new Diascopic Stands, models C-DSD, C-DSS, and C-BD, each have a built-in power supply in a space-saving design. These stands also feature their own fine focus knob* at the front of the base to make critical adjustment of focus much easier. Model C-DSD uses Oblique Coherent Contrast (OCC) illumination and is ideal for observing colorless, transparent samples, while the C-BD uses a seven-sided toroidal mirror to reduce stray light up to 1/5 that of conventional equipment. * Patent pending in Japan image

Photomicrography or monitoring
By using a beam splitter and adapter, an FX-III Series photomicrographic system, a CCTV camera, or a digital still camera can be attached. The P-IBSD Beam Splitter D has two ports allowing one photomicrographic system and one CCTV camera to be mounted at the same time. The light to the rear port can be switched between 0%, 50%, or 100%, and the light to the side port is switchable between 0% or 50%. With the P-IBSS Beam Splitter S, the light to the side port is switchable between 0% or 50%.
