Stereo Microscopes Range
How We Classify Stereo Microscopes Stereo microscopes, also known as low magnification and dissecting microscopes share a number of common, fundamental components. Examples of all these components can be found in this range datasheet. Pair of Angled Objectives, by definition all stereo microscopes have these, they are typically hidden in the end/nose of the microscope, each objective connects to its own eyepiece. Because they are angled they give a ‘3D’ or ‘Stereo’ view of the subject. Microscope Head, sometimes called the ‘body’ this accommodates all optical components and any magnification changing mechanism. There are several types of microscope head, this is the main way that different types of stereo microscopes are classified, and priced, examples of all these types are included in this product range datasheet. The head types are:
o Single Magnification (to change magnification you have to remove and insert different objectives and eyepieces) these are the lowest priced microscope heads, the low price does not necessarily mean that the image quality is less good. This type of head typically has a rectangular objective holder.
o Dual Magnification sometimes called ‘Turret’ microscope heads. In this type of microscope head there are 2 pairs of objectives in the ‘nose’ of the microscope head. Each pair has a different magnification eg 1x and 3X or 2x and 4X (total mags 10X/30X or 20X/40X with the std 10X eyepieces), to engage the magnification required you rotate the nosepiece. Additional magnifications can be obtained by also changing the eyepieces. This class of microscope costs roughly 2X more than single magnification microscopes.
o Zoom Magnification this is the most commonly purchased type of stereo microscope. They are popular because you have a continuous range of magnifications controlled by a zoom knob eg 0.7X to 4.5X (total mags 7X to 45X with the std 10X eyepieces) also, 1X to 10X (total mags 10X to 80X with the std 10X eyepieces) and because you can also add auxiliary objectives eg 0.5X, 0.75X, 1.5X or 2X which change the zoom magnification range proportionately and also alter the working distance. This type of microscope can also have the largest range of illumination accessories attached such as ring lights. You can also obtain zoom microscopes with ‘trinocular heads’(T suffix) which gives the user an additional vertical photoport onto which a camera can be attached with the appropriate camera adapter. These microscopes roughly cost 2X-4X more than dual magnification microscopes. In summary zoom microscopes give the greatest range of magnifications, working distances, photo options, accessories and are the most convenient to use – no wonder they are popular!
Microscope Stand, the head attaches to the stand, some stands include built-in illumination, most include a focus mechanism. Sometimes the stand is divided into 2 two further components:
1) the Focussing Ring – this holds the dual magnification and zoom heads and has a rack & pinion focus mechanism, the focussing ring attaches to the stand by either sliding onto a pole (or arbour) or by fitting into an ‘E-Arm’ socket
2) The Microscope Stand onto which the focussing ring will connect, there are numerous different types of stand such as long reach stands, pillar stands, track stands, wall mounted stands and floor stands.

The XTX-1C stereo microscope provides great value for such high performance. These are classed as single magnification microscopes which can have a range of auxiliary objectives and eyepieces inserted to achieve different magnifications and working distances. Each microscope is equipped with high quality glass optics, a sturdy metal stand and built-in top and bottom halogen lamp illumination. The tough microscopes are designed for observations of small objects such as entomological collections, pond dipping, plant material, microfossils, rocks and industrial inspection. The simplicity of design and robustness of build makes it particularly suitable for use by the young enthusiast and in schools and colleges.
Every microscope is equipped with a pair of objectives mounted in a removable, rectangular objective cartridge and a pair of wide-field eyepieces. The binocular head is mounted on the focus mechanism which, in turn is mounted on a vertical pillar. The head can be moved up the pillar to accommodate larger specimens.
The head has interpupillary distance adjustment and the left eyepiece has diopter adjustment. This makes the microscope suitable for prolonged use without undue eyestrain.
A highly popular choice for schools,
colleges & amateurs.

The ST50 series of single magnification stereo microscopes are designed for those inspection and assembly/soldering tasks requiring plenty of distance between the microscope and the object under observation. The fully coated, excellent optics give an upright, non-inverted image over a wide field of view which is sharp and clear. These optics also reflect accurately the original true colour of the view object. Accurate alignment of the optics ensures the observer can enjoy a fatigue-free viewing experience over a long period of time. The ST-50A model has an upright (straight-through) binocular head with locked-in eyepieces. The ST-50B model has a 45º inclined binocular head with locked-in eyepieces. Both heads can be freely angled as required. The left ocular-tube has a diopter adjustment range of ± 5mm. The interpupillary distance adjustment between the eyepieces is 55-75mm. As standard a slide-in 2X objective with a working distance of 119mm is supplied along with a pair of 10X Widefield eyepieces which combine to give a total magnification of 20X. This magnification range can be expanded to 5X to 70X using the range of optional objectives and eyepieces shown in the table. Objectives are easy to change using a dovetail slide-in mechanism Each stereo is supplied with a pair of rubber eyeguards & a dust cover. The stand has a well painted metal base with steel vertical and horizontal arms There is a precision, smooth focus system using a rack & pinion mechanism. The incident light is mounted on a ball-joint and provides adjustable illumination. The electrics are GS and CE approved.

Microscopes product datasheet
G The ZTX series of stereo microscopes are GX Microscopes’ best value zoom microscopes, they provide all-round, high quality images at extremely good value prices.
Each microscope in the range is equipped with a pair of 1X-4X zoom objectives controlled by a zoom knob and a pair of 10X wide-field eyepieces. Each eyepiece links directly to one of the angled zoom objectives, this gives a stunning 3 dimensional image of your specimen. The optical quality is very good giving a bright, crisp 3D image of the specimen There are two types of microscope head: ZTX with Binocular head ZTX-T with Trinocular head for attaching a camera Both models give 10X-40X zoom magnification range with the 10X eyepieces, this magnification range can be extended 2.5X -160X with the optional objectives and eyepieces shown in the table. The binocular eyepiece tubes are inclined at a comfortable 45º. The entire head can be easily rotated through 360º, it has interpupillary distance adjustment and both eyepiece tubes have diopter adjustment. This makes these microscopes suitable for ergonomic use by the greatest number of people and assists in achieving parfocality when cameras are attached. The head of the microscope sits in a 76mm focussing ring, this ring can be mounted on a very wide variety of stands including pillar stands (eg 103A, 103B & 103C) and long reach boom arm & articulated arm stands (eg V1, V6 & V7). Illumination is built-in with the stand providing both incident and transmitted light. Alternatively, with all other stands, illumination can be provided separately using LED ringlights or LED & halogen spot or fibre optic illuminators. Each microscope is supplied with a pair of rubber eyeguards, manual & a dust cover. The stands have a well painted metal base with steel poles. There is a precision, smooth focus system using a rack & pinion mechanism. The ZTX Microscope range is highly versatile and is an excellent low cost option for industry, hobbyists, researchers and educational establishments.

Microscopes product datasheet
G The MZS series of ultra-long working distance (of 118mm up to 195mm) professional stereo microscopes are GX Microscopes’ most popular zoom microscopes for applications where work needs to be undertaken on the subject under observation. This includes the electronics industry, jewellery manufacture, engraving, component assembly work, soldering, dissections and live sample work. This microscope is also produces an unusually high quality image to the camera and is often the microscope of choice among customers requiring really good images of their specimens. With over 1,000 installations in the UK alone, they provide the highest quality, remarkably long working distance, wide field of view images, a wide zoom range and are highly robust and extremely well built, suitable for the most demanding uses.
Each microscope in the range is equipped with a pair of 0.7X-4.5X zoom objectives controlled by a zoom knob and a pair of 10X extra wide-field eyepieces. Each eyepiece links directly to one of the angled zoom objectives, this gives a stunning 3 dimensional image of your specimen. The optical quality is exceptionally good giving a bright, crisp 3D image of the specimen All of the MZS microscopes are supplied with trinocular heads. This microscope gives 7X-45X zoom magnification range with the 10X eyepieces, this magnification range can be extended 3.5X - 270X with the optional objectives and eyepieces shown in the table. The binocular eyepiece tubes are inclined at a comfortable 45º. The entire head can be easily rotated through 360º, it has interpupillary distance adjustment and both eyepiece tubes have diopter adjustment. This makes these microscopes suitable for ergonomic use by the greatest number of people and assists in achieving parfocality when cameras are attached. The head of the microscope sits in a 76mm focussing ring, this ring can be mounted on a very wide variety of stands including pillar stands (eg 0745, 103B & 103C) and long reach boom arm & articulated arm stands (eg V1, V6 & V7). Illumination is built-in with the 0745 stand providing both incident and transmitted light. Alternatively, with all other stands, illumination can be provided separately using LED ringlights or LED & halogen spot or fibre optic illuminators. Each microscope is supplied with a pair of rubber eyeguards, manual & a dust cover. The stands have a well painted base with steel poles. There is a precision, smooth focus system using a rack & pinion mechanism. The MZS Microscope range is a highly versatile stereo zoom microscope and is an excellent, professional grade instrument for industry, hobbyists, researchers and educational establishments.

The PS-T series of parallel optics, research grade stereo microscopes are GX Microscopes’ highest quality zoom microscopes with superb optical performance for both observation and imaging. Idea for applications where the highest quality image is required. This includes the electronics industry, jewellery manufacture, engraving, component assembly work, soldering, dissections and live sample work. This microscope benefits from an exception large zoom range with a ratio of 10:1 making it particularly useful for observing specimens that require a large change in magnification. The parallel optics provide the optimum optical configuration hugely diminishing aberration and fringing errors. The standard PS-T model is supplied on a versatile and highly robust stand which is extremely well built and suitable for the most demanding uses.
Each microscope in the range is equipped with a pair of 0.8X-8X zoom objectives controlled by a zoom knob and a pair of 10X super wide-field eyepieces. Each eyepiece links directly to one of the angled zoom objectives, this gives a stunning 3 dimensional image of your specimen. The optical quality is bright, pin-sharp and distortion free giving a bright, crisp 3D image of the specimen All of the PS microscopes are supplied with trinocular heads suitable for attaching a camera.. This microscope gives 8X-80X zoom magnification range with the 10X eyepieces, this magnification range can be extended 4X - 360X with the optional objectives and eyepieces shown in the table. The binocular eyepiece tubes are inclined at a comfortable 45º. The entire head can be easily rotated through 360º, it has interpupillary distance adjustment and both eyepiece tubes have diopter adjustment. This makes these microscopes suitable for ergonomic use by the greatest number of people and assists in achieving parfocality when cameras are attached. The head of the microscope sits in a 76mm focussing ring, this ring can be mounted on a very wide variety of stands including pillar stands (eg PS-T, 103B & 103C) and long reach boom arm & articulated arm stands (eg V1, V6 & V7). Illumination can be provided separately using LED ringlights or LED & halogen spot or fibre optic illuminators. Each microscope is supplied with a pair of rubber eyeguards, manual & a dust cover. The stands have a well painted base with steel poles. There is a precision, smooth focus system using a rack & pinion mechanism. The PS Microscope range is a highly versatile stereo zoom microscope and is an excellent, professional grade instrument for industry, researchers and educational & medical establishments.
