Description
Operate with an ultra-wide 23 mm field of view and generous 110 mm working distance using the Motic SMZ-171-BH Binocular Head. Driven by an advanced 0.75x to 5.0x Greenough optical zoom engine (6.7:1 zoom ratio), it delivers continuous 7.5x to 50x magnification with improved-resolution multi-layer optical coatings. That generous 110 mm clearance distance gives technicians abundant vertical room to manipulate soldering irons, hot-air wands, and dissection needles without bumping the front objective glass.
The 45-degree inclined binocular viewing head rotates 360 degrees inside standard 76 mm mounting collars, paired with widefield high-eyepoint WF 10x/23 mm eyepieces featuring independent bilateral diopter adjustments (+/- 5 diopters) across an adjustable 52 mm to 75 mm interpupillary range. Achromatic multi-coated lenses preserve high-contrast color neutrality across the entire zoom curve. Weighing an agile 1.8 kg, this passive modular optical pod drops directly into universal boom stands, articulated flexarms, and standard post stands with 76 mm focus collars.
Key Features of Motic SMZ-171-BH Binocular Head
A modular research-grade binocular stereo zoom microscope head featuring a 6.7:1 zoom ratio, ultra-widefield 23 mm eyepieces, and a 110 mm working distance. Combines 7.5x to 50x magnification with bilateral diopter adjustments, Greenough 3D optics, and a 76 mm mounting collar.
- Continuous 7.5x to 50x magnification driven by a 6.7:1 Greenough zoom engine (0.75x to 5.0x)
- Large 110 mm operational working distance leaves ample room for tools and soldering tips
- Ultra-widefield WF 10x/23 mm high-eyepoint eyepieces with bilateral diopter adjustments
- Greenough stereoscopic layout inclined at 45 degrees with 360-degree rotation
- Bilateral synchronized zoom control dials operate smoothly with zero gear backlash
- Interpupillary spacing control spans a wide 52 mm to 75 mm adjustment range
- Standard 76 mm outer mounting collar fits universal industrial and laboratory stands
- Lightweight 1.8 kg modular optical pod finished in scratch-resistant industrial enamel
Greenough 3D Depth & Ultra-Wide 23mm Field Number
Moving from standard 20 mm or 22 mm eyepieces to an ultra-widefield 23 mm field number gives you noticeably more situational context when scanning printed circuit boards or sorting biological specimens. The converging Greenough optical paths replicate natural stereoscopic vision, producing deep 3D spatial separation that makes delicate manual tool work feel intuitive. Bilateral zoom dials turn smoothly with calibrated mechanical resistance, eliminating gear lash or image jump.
110mm Tool Clearance & Agile 1.8kg Weight
The 110 mm working distance is a massive operational advantage: you can work under the front lens with soldering tools, wire cutters, or dissection needles without constantly worrying about glass strikes or blocking your light source. Weighing only 1.8 kg, this pod places minimal cantilever stress on boom arms and articulated linkages. It drops cleanly into standard 76 mm focus holder rings, making it an easy drop-in replacement to boost optical resolution on existing stands.
- Wide 23 mm Field Number reduces the need to constantly reposition the workpiece
- 110 mm working distance provides ample vertical clearance for tools and illuminators
- Lightweight 1.8 kg chassis minimizes cantilever arm deflection on long boom setups
