Nikon MultiZoom AZ100M Multi-purpose Zoom Microscope

The MULTIZOOM AZ100M offers the combined advantages of a stereoscopic microscope with a wide field of view and long working distance, and a metallographic microscope boasting high-resolution images. The AZ100M also allows secure and efficient image acquisition in conjunction with a PC and a digital camera.

* On-axis coaxial optical zoom system that enables macro image capture
* Wide range of observation magnifications from 5x to 500x
* High-resolution/high-contrast observation in both the macro & micro regions
* Support for a wide array of observation methods, including reflected/transmitted light brightfield, simple POL and differential interference contrast
* Automatic detection of objective lens magnification with intelligent triple nosepiece
* Electronic remote control of motorized optical zoom and vertical stage movement
* Communication with a PC and the DS-L2 and DS-U2 digital camera control units
