Stemi 508

• Large Field of View and Apochromatic Correction

• ZEISS Stemi 508’s apochromatic zoom optics* and efficient stray light suppression give you a crisp three-dimensional image, distortion-free, without color fringes.
• Visualize objects in fields of view up to 122 mm.The large 8:1 zoom lets you observe even minute structures in high contrast.
• Use interchangeable apochromatic front optics and eyepieces to reach any magnification between 2× and 250×. Double your resolution or enjoy large working distances up to 287 mm without compromising optical quality

• Precise Mechanics for Heavy Workloads

• Stemi 508 is designed for heavy workloads, using durable and reliable mechanics.
• Enjoy a well-balanced 3D impression: whether you zoom continuously variable or in reproducible mode by activating click stops – the image stays sharply focused over the whole magnification range.
• Thanks to the low viewing angle of 35°, Stemi 508 is more ergonomic than any other Greenough-type stereo microscope. You appreciate a comfortable posture even if you work on the microscope for long hours.

• Created for All Your Applications

• Choose from compact stands to flexible and stable boom stands, from basic transmitted light to polarization contrast to get exactly what you need for your application.
• Position your specimen precisely by adding a gliding, tilting or rotating polarization stage.
• With Stemi 508 doc, there’s always a c-mount adapter for ZEISS Axiocam cameras included – interchangeable, to adapt any SLR camera or camcorder

In 1886 ZEISS produced the first apochromatic microscope lens, a color-corrected objective lens for three wavelengths based on the calculations of Ernst Abbe. The foundation for this achievement was in part the concerted attempts by Abbe and Schott to improve optical glass.

Apochromatic lenses correct the lens error for three colors (red, green and blue) of the color spectrum by bringing the three wavelengths into focus in the same plane. Apochromatic objectives therefore produce images which are sharper and brilliant. Especially when image quality is of importance doing evaluations and documentation apochromatic objectives are beneficial.

Transmitted light illumination

• Flat transmitted light base for brightfield and darkfield illumination
• Tiltable mirror base for brightfield, darkfield and oblique light illumination
