The SM-8TP stereo microscope provides precise and clear images. A stereo microscope provides an in-depth image, making it possible to solder SMD components for example.
Trinocular and simul-focal
The SM-8TP is trinocular, which means that there is a third port available to connect a camera with the help of the C-mount adapter. The SM-8TP is simul-focal, so the camera can be used simultaneously with the two eyepieces.
7x to 45x magnification
The SM-8TP microscope offers a magnification from 7x to 45x at a maximum working height of 100mm. For use with electronics it is best to use a barlow lens 0.5x. This halves the magnification of the microscope and doubles the working distance (the distance between the lens and the working platform).
Swivel arm
The microscope has a swivel arm that can be positioned freely. The arm is clamped on a table (maximum thickness of the tabletop: 50mm).
SM series microscopes
SM series microscopes are characterised by their solid manufacturing quality, clear vision and high ease of use. The table below shows the differences between the microscopes.
