High-performance stereomicroscope with 16:1 zoom, fully apochromatic

Overview

MZ16 A product image

With the introduction of MZ16 and MZ16 A, Leica Microsystems celebrates a new milestone in the world of stereomicroscopy; these two new products are targeted at the high-end life science research and industrial inspection markets that demand higher performance. With these two new instruments comes the first stereomicroscope that provides a completely motorized workstation, setting new standards for our competition in automation and working ergonomy, and once again proving that Leica Microsystems is an innovator strictly focused on meeting customers' needs.

    The MZ16 A is the world’s first and only fully motorized stereomicroscope redefining ergonomy. When equipped with the motor focus drive, the MZ16 A offers you complete comfort and ease-of-use by allowing you to position the microscope controls where they are most easily accessible. Combine the MZ16 A, Leica Motor Focus, and a Leica DC digital camera and you have an automated stereomicroscope workstation for inspection and digital imaging; all components of which can be controlled via PC. The MZ16 A’s digital display offers a clear readout of user-calibrated total magnification and field of view at every zoom position which allows for ‘spot-on’ repeat inspection and saves valuable time in documenting optical information. User-defined point-to-point measurements are available at the ‘touch of a button’ using the MZ16 A and its calibrated graticule.
