Stereomicroscope MZ16 - Good

MZ16 Stereomicroscope - Unmatched Precision for Research and Industrial Inspection

The MZ16 stereomicroscope by Leica is a cutting-edge tool designed to meet the rigorous demands of scientific research and industrial inspection. With its apochromatic optics and superior build quality, the MZ16 provides unparalleled clarity, color fidelity, and precision, setting new standards in stereomicroscopy.

The MZ16 stands out with its impressive zoom range, offering magnifications from 7.1x to 115x with standard optics, and up to 230x with the optional PlanApo 2x objective. This broad magnification range allows researchers to easily switch from a general overview to detailed examinations while maintaining sharp, high-resolution images. With a maximum resolution of up to 840 line pairs per millimeter, the MZ16 ensures that even the smallest details are captured with exceptional accuracy.

A notable feature of the MZ16 is its motorized workstation, which integrates automation with ergonomic design. The focus motors provide ultra-precise, drift-free adjustments, allowing for a focus resolution as fine as 1.5 µm under load. This level of control is essential for applications requiring meticulous focusing, such as live animal surgery or fine detail imaging in materials science.

The MZ16 also features a turret for rapid switching between objectives, including the PlanApo 1x and 2x objectives. This design allows users to maintain focus while changing magnification levels, thanks to parfocal adjustment. This functionality is crucial for tasks requiring frequent magnification changes without losing the focus point, thereby enhancing workflow efficiency.

In terms of optical performance, the MZ16 is equipped with an integrated iris diaphragm for precise depth-of-field adjustment. This feature is particularly valuable for photographing or observing three-dimensional specimens, ensuring that the entire subject remains sharp and well-lit.

The MZ16 excels not only in precision and performance but also in user comfort and customization. A wide range of ergonomic accessories is available, including customizable focus motors, specialized stages, and lighting options. These features are designed to reduce user fatigue during extended use and to accommodate various research applications.

For industrial users, the MZ16 offers a coaxial illumination option, ideal for inspecting reflective surfaces or detecting cracks and defects in materials. Additionally, a near-vertical illumination option (5° off-axis) is available, providing optimal lighting conditions for delicate tasks such as animal surgery.

The MZ16 stereomicroscope is a versatile and high-performance instrument, designed to meet the demanding standards of modern research and industrial inspection. Its combination of advanced optics, motorized features, and ergonomic design makes it an indispensable tool for professionals seeking the highest level of performance in their work.
