Product Description
Bausch & Lomb StereoZoom 7 Stereo Microscope – Industrial-Grade Precision Microscope with 1x-7x Continuous Zoom
This used Bausch & Lomb StereoZoom 7 is a high-performance stereo microscope from the legendary StereoZoom series, introduced in the 1950s and considered a world standard for stereo microscopes . The StereoZoom 7 is particularly well-regarded for its optical clarity and robust construction, making it ideal for industrial quality control, inspection, and educational applications .
The microscope features the StereoZoom 7 Power Pod, a sealed optical unit offering a 1x to 7x continuous zoom range with no image blackout during magnification changes . With standard 10x wide-field eyepieces, this provides a total magnification range of 10x to 70x . The 45-degree inclined binocular head provides comfortable 3D viewing, and the modular design allows for compatibility with a wide range of stands, eyepieces, and supplementary lenses .
The Power Pod can be mounted on various stands (e.g., A Stand, S Stand, Boom Stand), and the binocular head is designed to reduce eye strain during extended viewing sessions . Its true zoom optics (1:7 ratio) make it the most versatile of the StereoZoom series.
Condition Note: This unit is untested.
