Fibre identification

The Prism Optical BH200P is an excellent upright polarised light microscope with incident light, intermediate analyser and polariser, eyepiece graticule, slide micrometer, compensators, and de-stressed plan achromat objectives. Center stop or McCrone style objectives can be supplied also.

Stereomicroscopes

We have several stereomicroscope options suitable for use in the lab. The entry level SMZ0745 is a solid workhorse with all of the essential features required by a busy lab.

Our new SZN71 is a step up optically and mechanically. Featuring better quality lenses, a wider field of view (22mm v 20mm on the SMZ0745) and a clever click zoom adjustment to get to known magnification levels for accurate, calibrated measurements.

Both models can be fitted with a high speed HDMI camera and screen to provide additional ergnomic benefit to the operator or to aide in documentation.
