Working Purpose

The OPXICA Professional Binocular Stereo Zoom Microscope OPX-178 is designed for applications where users need magnified three-dimensional viewing while simultaneously working on or manipulating the specimen.

Its long working distance provides additional space between the microscope objective and the specimen. This is particularly useful for applications such as circuit-board inspection, electronic component assembly, soldering, repair work, dental appliance examination and mechanical component inspection.

The 0.7X–4.5X zoom system provides continuous magnification adjustment, while the 10X eyepieces provide an overall specified magnification range of approximately 7X to 45X.

The binocular stereo configuration provides depth perception, making it easier to inspect surfaces, components and structures that require spatial observation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is the OPX-178 used for?

The OPX-178 is used for stereo inspection, precision assembly, electronics inspection, PCB work, dental applications, mechanical inspection and examination of large or detailed specimens.

2. What is the magnification range?

The specified magnification range is 7X–45X.

3. How is the 7X–45X magnification achieved?

The microscope uses a 0.7X–4.5X continuous zoom objective combined with 10X eyepieces, resulting in approximately 7X–45X total magnification.

4. What type of eyepieces are used?

It uses a pair of 10X super-widefield eyepieces.

5. What is the advantage of a stereo microscope?

A stereo microscope provides a three-dimensional view of the specimen, making it useful for inspection, assembly, repair and manipulation work.

6. What is the advantage of the long working distance?

The long working distance provides more room between the microscope and specimen, allowing users to handle tools and manipulate larger workpieces while viewing them under magnification.

7. Can it be used for PCB inspection?

Yes. Its stereo viewing, continuous zoom and working distance make it suitable for PCB inspection, electronic component examination, soldering and rework applications.

8. Can the microscope head rotate?

Yes. The viewing configuration provides 360° rotation capability, allowing the microscope to be repositioned or shared between users.

9. Does it have a boom stand?

Yes. The OPX-178 uses a double-arm boom stand designed to provide flexible positioning of the microscope head.

10. Can the microscope be positioned in three directions?

The supplied specification describes positioning across X, Y and Z axes, allowing users to position the microscope head according to the workpiece.

11. What type of illumination is specified?

The supplied specification lists ambient lighting with an incandescent light source.

12. Is the OPX-178 suitable for large specimens?

Yes. Its long working distance and boom-stand configuration are particularly useful when working with larger objects or specimens requiring additional working space.
