Probably the best value for money binocular zoom stereo currently available. Highly Recommended. The stereo head has double side arm zoom controls with a continuous range of x1 to x4 giving a magnification range of x10 to x40 with the super widefield x10 eyepieces.
Each eyetube has independent focus control that allows the specimen to remain in focus throughout the magnification zoom.The head is fully rotatable within the focus block, and a pull lever diverts light to the trinocular eyetube when needed for photography. Film and digital camera adapters are available together with CCTV accessories.
The bottom of the stereohead turret has an internal screw thread that allows additional supplementary objective lenses, polarising adapters and either an LED or fluorescent strip ring lights to be attached
The illuminated stand has both incident and transmitted in built variable quartz halogen lighting both controlled by rheostat. The incident light unit is attached to the focus block behind the stereohead and the angle of incidence can be varied to suit the specimen
The IMXZ has an excellent finish and offers a wide range of accessories including photography attachments, and the option for a gem dark ground adapter with gem clamp. The unit comes complete with eyecups, spare bulb, black and white dissection plate (glass plate with the illuminated stand) and a dust cover.
A very useful accessory is the 240v fluorescent ring light, which is a very cost effective alternative to fibre-optic ring lighting. This lighting option will fit all IMX stereoheads. A transmitted free standing light base is also available as an accessory for the long arm version
