Zoom Objective
0.7X to 4.5X with 6.5:1 Zoom Ratio

Unitron's zoom objective has many of the same characteristics and excellent performance you have come to expect from our ZSB and ZST Zoom Stereo Microscopes. The objective is capable of magnification ranges of 3.5x to 180x using a suitable combination of eyepieces and supplementary lens attachments. Such combinations will also provide a wide range of fields of view and working distances.
The chart below illustrates these variables using a l0x eyepiece as an example.

Complementary accessories for the O.7X-4.5x zoom objective. include four supplementary lenses O.5x. O.75x. 1.5x and 2.0x that thread into the bottom of the objective, and an attachable fiber optic coaxial illuminator that will provide true on axis illumination in a range of 1.5x to 4.5x as engraved on the zoom objective. We recommend using this illuminator without the supplementary lens attachments. Obvious applications include viewing semiconductor devices where the interference colors can only be observed in this type of light. and any recessed structure not easily viewed with side illumination.
The zoom lens is routinely supplied with a royal society mount. While it will naturally fit any nosepiece, caution should be taken to insure a tube length of 170mm is maintained or parfocality throughout the zoom range cannot be achieved. Complete compatibility and zoom parfocality can be expected when used on the Unitron Shopscopes. The overall length is four inches, with a central knurled collar used to manipulate the zoom feature. This prevents illuminators fixtured on the bottom of the objective from rotating.
Working distance of the lens attachments is:
0.5x 177mm (15842)
O.75x 114mm (15843)
1.5x 51mm(15844)
2x 35.5mm (15845)
