The Am SM-1TZ professional trinocular stereo zoom micro
has a pair of 10x super-widefield high-eyepoint eyepieces, a
0.7x-4.5x zoom objective, two Barlow lenses, and a pillar stand.
The micro has an overall magnification range of 3.5x-90x.
The trinocular viewing head has an interpupillary range of 55 to
75mm, a 45-degree inclination to reduce eye and neck strain, and
360-degree rotation to enable sharing. The vertical trinocular
port can be used as a C- or 23mm photo port (camera sold
separately). The WH10x20mm super-widefield high-eyepoint
eyepieces combine with the 0.7x-4.5x zoom objective to provide
zoom magnification and a longer working distance for inspecting
large-scale specimens that require handling or repair. The
micro comes with 0.5x and 2.0x Barlow lenses that can be
added to the objective to increase the magnification range. A
Barlow lens with a magnification of less than 1.0 reduces
magnification and increases the working distance, while a Barlow
lens with a magnification greater than 1.0 increases the
magnification and reduces the working distance. High-eyepoint
eyepieces ease viewing for users who wear glasses, and dioptric
adjustment accommodates individual eye-strength differences. A
stereo micro, sometimes called an inspection or dissection
micro, has low magnification and a long working distance
that enables users to manipulate the object being inspected.
Ambient lighting illuminates the specimen, eliminating the need
for power or batteries. The pillar-style stand secures the head
for precise focusing. Bilateral coarse focus eases use for left-
and right-handed users. The extra-large table stand has a
reversible black and white stage plate that provides contrast
with light and dark-colored specimens, and stage clips to secure
the specimen in place. The stage plate has a 3-3/4" diameter
(95mm). The stage is 3/4 x 10 x 12-1/2 inches/20 x 280 x 320mm (H
x W x D, where H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest
to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left
to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to
back).

Micros are instruments used to enhance the resolution of an
object or image. Types include compound, stereo, or digital.
Compound micros use a compound optical system with an
objective lens and an eyepiece. Stereo micros show object
depth in a three-dimensional image. Digital micros are used
to display an image on a monitor, rather than looking through a
lens. Micros can have monocular (one), binocular (two), or
trinocular (three) eyepieces, with varying magnification
abilities. Magnification ability refers to the size of an image.
Resolution, also known as resolvant power, refers to the clarity
of the image. The interaction between field of view (FOV),
numerical aperture (NA), and working distance (WD) determines
resolution. Micros can control magnification through a fixed
focus, or through a range of adjustments. They can also utilize
LED, fluorescent, and mirror light sources to help control
viewing capabilities. Micros are widely used in education,
lab research, biology, metallurgy, engineering, chemistry,
manufacturing, and in the medical, forensic science, and
veterinary industries.
