The Am SM-2T-LED professional trinocular stereo zoom
micro has a pair of 10x super-widefield high-eyepoint
eyepieces, a 0.7x-4.5x zoom objective, and a pillar stand. The
micro has an overall magnification range of 7x-45x. The
trinocular viewing head has an interpupillary range of 55 to
75mm, a 45-degree inclination to reduce eye and neck strain, and
360-degree rotation to enable sharing. The vertical trinocular
port can be used as a C- or 23mm photo port (camera sold
separately). The WH10x20mm super-widefield high-eyepoint
eyepieces combine with the 0.7x-4.5x zoom objective to provide
continuous zoom magnification and a longer working distance for
inspecting large-scale specimens that require handling or repair.
High-eyepoint eyepieces ease viewing for users who wear glasses,
and dioptric adjustment accommodates individual eye-strength
differences. A stereo micro, sometimes called an inspection
or dissection micro, has low magnification and a long
working distance that enables users to manipulate the object
being inspected.
The micro has upper (episcopic) illumination that reflects
light off the specimen for enhanced visibility of opaque
specimens, and lower (diascopic) illumination that transmits
light up through the specimen for enhanced visibility of
translucent and transparent objects. The upper LED ring light
provides shadow-free illumination, and can be removed to provide
access to the objectives. A frosted stage plate allows light to
pass through from below with transparent specimens, a reversible
black and white stage plate provides contrast with light- and
dark-colored specimens, and stage clips secure the specimen
during viewing. Both lights have a rheostat to control the a
of light emanating from the lamp. The pillar-style stand has
bilateral coarse focus to ease use for left- and right-handed
users. All metal construction is durable and the enamel finish is
stain-resistant.

Micros are instruments used to enhance the resolution of an
object or image. Types include compound, stereo, or digital.
Compound micros use a compound optical system with an
objective lens and an eyepiece. Stereo micros show object
depth in a three-dimensional image. Digital micros are used
to display an image on a monitor, rather than looking through a
lens. Micros can have monocular (one), binocular (two), or
trinocular (three) eyepieces, with varying magnification
abilities. Magnification ability refers to the size of an image.
Resolution, also known as resolvant power, refers to the clarity
of the image. The interaction between field of view (FOV),
numerical aperture (NA), and working distance (WD) determines
resolution. Micros can control magnification through a fixed
focus, or through a range of adjustments. They can also utilize
LED, fluorescent, and mirror light sources to help control
viewing capabilities. Micros are widely used in education,
lab research, biology, metallurgy, engineering, chemistry,
manufacturing, and in the medical, forensic science, and
veterinary industries.
