Meiji EMZ-5 Stereo Zoom Darkfield Protein Crystallography Microscope

The EMZ-5 body delivers sharp, high-contrast images and an excellent zoom range of 6.5:1 that provides exceptionally high resolution images all throughout the zoom range. The EMZ-5 employs Greenough optics, for improved image flatness and contrast. As a result images are brighter and more distinct even at the periphery of the field of view. With the large zoom range, the EMZ-5 offers high resolution observation in precision-oriented semi-conductor, medical device and routine inspection. In addition to it's compact design and versatility a wide variety of auxiliary lenses and stands are available to allow the user to customize their desired working distance to adapt to almost any application.

The RZBD stand enables darkfield illumination for observation of samples in which the precipitate is white or transparent, such as with gelatinous proteins.

The FK has a deeper throat depth (164.6mm) than the remainder of Meiji focus blocks which are 136.8mm. This coarse adjusting focus block can be mounted in either direction and holds any Meiji stereo microscope body onto a machine or for other special OEM applications. The 84.2mm diameter opening accepts all EM Series stereo bodies.

Included is the MA502 Super Widefield Eyepiece 10x (pair) with 25mm reticle mount Field No. 23.0, Eye Relief 16.0, Focal Length 25.0 and Rubber Eyeguards/Eyeshields (Paired).

This setup is suitable for looking at properties of crystals such as birefringence (using the MA550 rotatable analyzer and MA667 polarizer) and for identifying conditions that cause precipitation or crystal growth. In the latter case, a polarizer would not be used because the color of the precipitate is a crucial indicator.
