Evident has introduced a new research stereomicroscope system called SZX10 that provides a logical option when field size and large working distance are crucial.
Evident’ lens system has been designed to enable users to view and record samples in their authentic, original colors without any kind of distortion. The microscope contains ergonomic components, including longer eye tubes, which allow users to keep a natural posture while using the instrument.
Reliability and Repeatability
Control Knobs Capable of Rapid Inspection
A wide zoom range of 0.63x to 6.3x allows users to view samples at various magnifications without having to change the objective lenses.

An exclusively developed dual objective holder equipped with axial detent additionally extends the scope of potential magnifications. With the axial light path setting, users can be certain that measurements taken with the camera are accurate and consistent in all directions, thus rendering the results independent from the orientation of the sample being observed under the microscope.
Several imaging and measuring tasks involve the use of the same zoom magnification setting to guarantee similar and reliable results, but now the built-in 11-position click-stop allows users to easily capture and recreate the zoom settings.
Excellent Performance from a Choice of Eight Interchangeable Objectives
DFPL2x/DPFL1.5x/DFPL 0.75x/DFPL 0.5x
The DFPL range of objectives can precisely simulate the shapes of samples with excellent color fidelity.
DFPLAPO 1.25x/DFPLAPO1x4
This objective is apochromatically corrected to realize the highest level of performance. It offers excellent contrast, resolving power, and image flatness with minimal distortion.
SZX-ACH1.25x/SZX-ACH1x
These well-balanced objectives integrate excellent resolving power with a long working distance.

Versatile Illumination Solutions
Stands and Illumination Units
The SZX series available from Evident features the exclusive Evident LED base system that enables excellent control of transmitted illumination and also ensures bright, uniform images. Equipped with the ultra-slim 40 mm base, the SZX2 range has an excellent ergonomic stage height. An innovative carousel also makes it easy to choose and manage darkfield, brightfield, and oblique illumination. The durable LEDs do not heat the sample or stage and thus considerably improve the flexibility for material stereo microscopy.

Selectable Reflected Light Illumination Lineup
Multipurpose reflected illumination units are also available, such as the coaxial illuminator and ring light illuminator. Users can select the illumination system based on their particular application needs.

Intelligent Digital Imaging
High-Performance Cameras
With the SZX10 microscope you will want to document or show live digital views of your samples. By using a trinocular head and shifting the objective in the axial imaging path, users can obtain a perpendicular view of the sample. When the Evident DP cooled digital camera is fixed to the SZX10 microscope, it creates a highly flexible imaging station.
This has been designed for high-resolution documentation (up to 17.3 MP) and also for high-speed imaging for live views. The sophisticated interface allows exceptional color reproduction without any perceptible color shifts during the movement of samples.
Image Analysis Software
The Stream imaging software from Evident provides all the tools needed to perform basic 2D measurements via complex analysis in a user-friendly setting and also supports a host of operations, such as observation, database creation, report generation, and archiving.
Thanks to the SZX10 motorized focus drive, digital documentation is made fully automatic and efficient with extended focal imaging (EFI). With EFI, users can effortlessly produce pseudo-3D images.
In addition, Evident provides a comprehensive range of analysis/measurement software and digital cameras.
Ergonomics
By placing the microscope closer to the user, the ergonomic long tilting trinocular creates an ideal working posture, while the extended eyepoint adjuster offers flexibility for users of different heights.
The ergonomic tools in the SZX series increase job productivity by ensuring each user is in the most comfortable posture possible while reducing stress during observation.

Convergence Angle in Tube Relieves Eyestrain
Olympus research discovered a correlation between eyestrain and stereo microscope optical systems. Certain convergence angles between the right and left optical paths can cause discomfort.
Each optical route is fully compensated by the convergence angle used in the design of the SZX2 series. Even after extended viewing, this application successfully removes eye fatigue.

Ergonomic Zoom and Focus Knobs for Fatigue-Free Use
The zoom knob’s location, the coarse/fine focusing knob’s size and position, and the fine focus stroke are all made to be user-friendly. Focusing is simple and accurate as a consequence of the improved fine focus stroke.

Slim Design Illumination Stand for Easy Access to Samples
The design of the illumination stands means that they are easy to operate and free from fatigue. The compact LED transmitted light illumination stand, which is around 40 mm tall, has an easily adjustable fingertip lighting control and makes samples accessible.
