A new dimension in image clarity 

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).
