The RZ features a 10:1 zoom ratio with built-in variable dual-iris diaphragms and 12 positive click stops through the zoom range. Two perpendicular columns of eight zoom lenses in four groups move in smooth motion controlled by ergonomically sized and positioned zoom knobs. A magnification indicator is conveniently located on the zoom controls.

Exterior components are painted with special anti-static finish which is especially useful when working in sensitive environments. Two types of viewing heads are available.

Evaluation of metallurgical specimens is fast and easy with Meiji Techno’s IM7000 Inverted Metallograph. The IM7000 delivers an excellent performance-to-cost ratio because it has the features and versatility that one would expect to find in more expensive instruments. The IM7000 has an integrated front mounted camera port with adapters available for 35mm, CCD, CMOS and other cameras.

VIEWING HEADS

The binocular model, the IM7100, incorporates the MA814 Siedentopf-type binocular head while the trinocular model, the IM7100 has the MA816/10 Siedentopf-type trinocular head. The MA816/10 uses an 80/20 beamsplitter that can be engaged for photomicroscopy. (100% to eyetubes or 80% to phototube and 20% to the eyetube.) Each microscope head has the eyetubes inclined at 30 degrees with the left eyetube having graduated diopter settings. The interpupillary distance on the viewing heads is adjustable between 53mm - 75mm. An optional ergonomic binocular head is also available.

EYEPIECES
10X Super Widefield High Eyepoint eyepieces are standard, and 15X and 20X eyepieces are also available as an option. A Super Widefield High Eyepoint 10X focusable eyepiece that accepts standard 25mm reticules is also available.

The smooth-operating, ball bearing, angle mounted quadruple nosepiece provides effortless objective changes.

OBJECTIVES

Meiji Techno offers their newly designed E.Planachromat Infinity Corrected objectives for brightfield observation modes. Infinity tube lens: F = 200mm.

STAGE

The standard fixed plain stage measures 180mm(x) by 245mm(y). The optional attachable mechanical stage measures 112mm(x) x 71mm(y). The mechanical stage features ergonomically positioned right-handed coaxial drop down controls.

ILLUMINATOR

A powerful Koehler method vertical illuminator with 6 volt 30 watt halogen bulb in an adjustable centering socket provides enhanced image quality of observations and adjustable brightness control.

I am still amazed after 12 years of servicing and repairing microscopes, how many people still think they don’t need there microscopes serviced.

A good quality microscope does not come cheap, and is an investment to be looked after. In a typical laboratory, 1 service visit per year would make a difference to both the mechanical and optical performance of the microscope. This would also prevent any unnecessary expensive repair bills in the long term.

What is done during a routine service?

§         A full optical clean.§         A full framework clean.§         An inspection of the rack and pinion mechanism and adjustment where necessary.§         An inspection of the stage mechanism and adjustment where necessary.§         Removal of grease and debris and replaced with new.§         A full inspection of the assembled microscope with adjustments and re-alignments made where necessary.Any parts/mechanisms deemed by the engineer to be worn/faulty/defective or having an adverse effect on the performance of the instrument would be brought to the attention of the person(s) at point of contact.
