Basic Protein Crystallography Stereo Microscope FZ8

The Basic Protein Crystallography Stereo Microscope FZ8 is configured to meet the needs of laboratories studying protein crystallography. In this field, being able to distinguish between amorphous and crystalline specimens is important. Magnifications of greater than 10x are best for easy detection of small microcrystals. Pseudo-darkfield illumination is also used to evaluate crystallization.

• Head: 45° inclined binocular viewing head rotates 360°.
• Eyepieces: Includes widefield 15x eyepieces, FN=16 with ± 5 diopter adjustment on each eye.
• Objective Lenses: Zoom range of 0.65x - 5.2x. The microscope head can easily be set up to use click stops, or the stops may be disabled for continuous magnification. If enabled, click stops are at 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, and 5x.
