Digital Imaging & Classroom Interaction Upgrades for Zeiss Primo Star
Transform a compatible Primo Star binocular microscope into a powerful digital imaging, teaching and interactive-learning station.
Important: This listing is for a digital imaging upgrade system only. The Zeiss Primo Star microscope is not included. Auckland Scientific can supply a suitable microscope separately or configure a complete classroom system.
Upgrade a binocular Primo Star without replacing the microscope
These purpose-designed systems integrate directly with compatible Zeiss Primo Star binocular upright microscopes. They add live digital viewing, image capture, recording and wireless image sharing while preserving normal binocular observation.
A built-in 50:50 optical beam splitter directs light simultaneously to the eyepieces and digital camera. The integrated 0.43× tube lens provides a wide field of view, while the accessible focus adjustment helps synchronise the eyepiece and displayed images.
Both options use a high-resolution 48 MP camera with an embedded Android operating system and WiFi 6E connectivity. They can be used as individual imaging stations or incorporated into a suitably configured wireless microscope teaching system.
