A new dimension in image clarity
Olympus’ new SDF objective lenses provide the highest
NA with 900lp/mm resolution. Optimum specimen viewing
from large field overview to microstructure, along with
instant zoom function to select observation points, is assured.
The SZX16 offers optical performance at the highest global standard. SDF objective lenses with the
highest available NA enable microstructural observation that could not be achieved before. And with
the world’s highest zoom range of 7.0x-115x, this all-in-one microscope answers a wide range of needs
related to operation at low magnifications to detailed observation at high magnifications. These
outstanding features meet the need for clear observation of transparent specimens of minimal
contrast to microstructural viewing. Manipulation of live specimens has never been easier.
The world’s highest zoom ratio of 1:16.4 is achieved.
From low to high magnification, several different observation tasks
are available on one microscope.

■
Highest available NA
The SZX16 realizes the highest NA (0.3) among
stereomicroscopes with 2x objectives. Optical performance
is 30% better than that of comparable products and allows
for significantly more image information.
■
SDF lineup: six objectives for various uses
The broad lineup of the SZX16 PLAN APO objective
series covers several needs with features ranging from
long WD objectives for operations requiring wide
working space (such as sample acquisition or selection)
to high magnification objectives with the world's
highest NA for microstructural observation.
■
World’s highest zoom ratio for several observation tasks
With a zoom range of 7.0x-115x (using SDFPLAPO 1X and
WHN10X-H), the SZX16 has the world’s highest zoom ratio of
1:16.4. From sample verification and selection at low
magnification to microstructure verification at high
magnification, seamless observation is available.

Two objectives combine with revolving nosepiece for
3.5x – 230x zoom
The Parfocal (PF) Series of 0.5x, 1x, 1.6x, and 2x comprises
four PF objectives. The revolving nosepiece allows easy
switching between two objective lenses and smooth
zooming between 3.5x and 230x (using WHN10X-H).
