Research Stereo MicroscopeSMZ25/SMZ18
Wide range of available accessories
Base Unit
Nikon has improved ease of use by moving the controls to the front of the base, including the brightness adjustment dial and on/off switch.
Fiber DIA base
Fiber DIA base features condenser lenses that can be switched between low and high magnifications. Furthermore, the OCC illumination system allows high contrast illumination.
Slim bases
The slimmer LED DIA Base and Plain Base help increase efficiency of sample manipulation by bringing the level of the sample closer to the table.
Focus unit
The focus unit is combined with the base unit. Choose from either a manual or motorized focus unit.
Stand/Focus mount
Combine the stand with a focus mount for viewing and capturing images with reflected illumination.
SHR Plan Apo series of Objective
The SHR Plan Apo series features higher NA, wider field of view, and superior flatness and color aberration correction. These objective lenses can be seamlessly switched because all magnifications have the same parfocal distance. The new bayonet mount design allows lenses to be safely and easily removed.

Tubes
Choose from two types of tilting trinocular tube and one type of low eyelevel trinocular tube. All tubes have a camera port for seamless integration with the Digital Sight series.
Nosepiece/Focus mount adapter
There is the option of the nosepiece either single or double for purposes of expanding research for changing the magnification range.
Stage
P-SXY64 XY Stage
The stage features an XY stroke of 6x4* inches (150mm x 100mm) and can be attached to any of the bases, making it effective for capturing large images when used in combination with the imaging software NIS-Elements. A sliding stage and tilting stage are also available.
*Limited Y travel with 32mm column bases
Controller
Nikon offers a remote control unit that can be used to operate the microscope and capture images by hand. A footswitch is also offered, allowing the user to operate the microscope and capture images by foot, freeing the hands for sample manipulation.
Epi-fluorescence set
Motorized epi-fluorescence set
The fluorescent turret can be operated using the remote control or imaging software NIS-Elements.
Manual epi-fluorescence set
An easy-to-use manual model for Nikon's newly developed high-performance epi-fluorescence attachment.
Fiber illuminator set
Flexible double arm fiber illumination set
The direction and angle of illumination can be changed to suit the sample by making adjustments with these double arms. The fiber holder position can also be changed to obtain the optimal position for illuminating samples.
Ring fiber illumination set
This ring fiber illumination set features an episcopic illumination unit that effectively captures images (can be used with 1x and 0.5x objective lenses).
Coaxial illuminator
The coaxial light illuminator makes it possible to view light reflected from the surface of a sample, which is ideal for shooting shadow-less images of thick samples.
Ring LED illuminator
Ring LED illuminator is equipped with high-intensity and long-life 20,000 hours LEDs. The illuminator's dial adjusts the intensity of the white LED.
Darkfield observation accessory
Darkfield viewing is possible simply by attaching the dark field unit to the base.
Polarizing observation accessory
The analyzer is attached to the objective and the polarizer to the base or stand to enable polarized viewing.
