Description
With the Nikon High-End Stereo Microscope SMZ18 (18:1 zoom), Nikon is renewing its product portfolio with an optically outstanding stereo microscope with an extremely high zoom factor.
The Nikon High-End Stereo Microscope SMZ18 is plan-apochromatically corrected, ensuring the highest optical quality and thus flat, color-accurate, and sharp images without color fringing at optimal resolution. The 18x zoom enables magnification of 7.5x–135x with a 1x objective lens and 10x eyepieces.
The Nikon High-End Stereo Microscope SMZ18 is the improved successor to the well-known Nikon Stereo Microscope SMZ1500 and is positioned in the high magnification range of Nikon’s stereo microscope product portfolio, yet is so ideal that it can withstand almost all applications. If medium magnification is sufficient for your application, the Nikon Stereo Microscope SMZ1270 (12.7:1 zoom) is available.
Areas of application include, for example, the assembly of the smallest components, inspections in the field of medical technology, laser material processing or printed circuit boards, damage analysis or quality control, entomology and numerous other activities.

MMK-Snap 5 is a powerful complete package consisting of microscope camera, USB cable, dongle, measuring scale and PC software
“Recordings – measurements – generation of depth-of-field images”
The clear and uncluttered operation of the software enables every user to take images and carry out measurements in no time at all!
The all-in-one set is therefore ideal for use in the industrial sector, but also in a university or institutional environment, especially when many people want to get results quickly and perhaps only work on the system from time to time.
A particular highlight is the ability to combine images with different depth of field ranges directly into a completely sharp resulting image.

When developing the software for MMK-Snap 5, the main focus was on very simple and intuitive operation. From installation, image capture and measurement to exporting the evaluated image, every user can complete the image capture and measurement in no time at all. After starting the software, the live image opens directly and can be started.
A particular highlight is the ability to combine images with different depth of field ranges directly into a completely sharp resulting image. All you have to do is start the recording and press the focus drive on the microscope -> the resulting image is created immediately after the recording is stopped.
Once the image has been captured, you can switch directly to the measurement area. The settings for annotations and measurements, such as color, thickness and font size, can be changed quickly via an intuitive right-click menu.
The image can now be saved to any location in the file system via a save button, or copied directly to the clipboard and pasted from there into a report, for example.
