Broad application range, from high to lower power, A wide range of magnifications The AZ100 represents an all-new concept in zoom microscopes. It covers a wide range of magnifications, from 5x to 400x, all in a single microscope. Thanks to a smooth zooming mechanism combined with the triple nosepiece, the AZ100 can continuously switch magnifications extending from macro to micro observation of the same specimen. Enjoy the combined advantages of a stereoscopic microscope with a wide field of view and a long working distance, and a biological microscope boasting high-resolution images — AZ100 is...
