Digital Imaging Upgrades for Nikon SMZ800N & SMZ1270

Add high-resolution imaging, measurement, documentation and image sharing to a compatible binocular Nikon stereo microscope.

Important: This listing is for a digital imaging upgrade system only. The Nikon stereo microscope, stand and illumination shown in application images are not included. Auckland Scientific can supply suitable microscope equipment separately.

Add a camera without replacing the binocular microscope head

These purpose-designed imaging systems add a camera pathway to compatible Nikon SMZ800N and Nikon SMZ1270 binocular stereo microscopes.

The dedicated PA043NT embedded beam splitter incorporates a professional 50:50 NPBS optical system. This preserves normal binocular observation while simultaneously directing the image to the selected camera.

An integrated 0.43× tube lens provides a wide camera field of view, while the accessible parfocal and focus adjustment helps align the eyepiece and displayed images.

Complete upgrade configuration: Auckland Scientific will configure the PA043NT Nikon beam splitter with the selected camera. The exact included components will be confirmed in your quotation.
