ESD Safe Design for Sensitive Environments: The Ergoscope® ESD-125 is specifically designed to prevent the accumulation and discharge of static electricity, making it an ideal choice for environments where electrostatic discharge can damage sensitive components or disrupt delicate processes. The ESD-safe construction ensures that the microscope body can be used safely in electronics manufacturing, cleanrooms, and other controlled environments where maintaining static control is critical. This feature helps protect both the equipment and the samples being examined, ensuring reliable and repeatable results.
2. Versatile Magnification Range with Smooth Zoom: The ESD-125 offers a body magnification range of 7X to 50X, achieved through a zoom range of 0.7X to 5X. With a zoom ratio of 1:7.1, this microscope body provides smooth, continuous magnification adjustments, allowing users to focus on different levels of detail without the need to change objective lenses. This flexibility is particularly advantageous for tasks requiring variable magnification, such as inspecting fine details on electronic components or observing biological specimens. The wide zoom range makes it easy to switch from a general overview to a detailed close-up, enhancing productivity and efficiency.
3. Binocular Viewing for Comfort and Depth Perception: Equipped with a binocular head, the ESD-125 offers a comfortable and natural viewing experience, with an eye tube angle of 45° that promotes ergonomic posture. This design helps reduce neck and shoulder strain during extended periods of use, making it ideal for professionals who spend long hours at the microscope. The binocular configuration also enhances depth perception, providing a more three-dimensional view of the specimen, which is crucial for tasks that require precise manipulation or detailed analysis, such as soldering small components or examining complex biological structures.
4. High-Quality Standard Eyepieces: The microscope comes with standard 10X eyepieces, which are designed to deliver clear and sharp images across the entire field of view, with a diameter of 20mm. These eyepieces are compatible with the 30mm inner diameter eye tubes and feature an eye guard mount size of 36mm, providing additional comfort and protection for the user's eyes. The eyepieces also include a diopter adjustment of ±5°, allowing users to fine-tune the focus to their individual visual requirements. This customization ensures optimal clarity and reduces eye strain, particularly important in multi-user environments where different operators may have varying eyesight.
5. Built-in 1X Objective with Optimal Working Distance: The ESD-125 features a built-in 1X objective lens that provides a stable base magnification and an optimal working distance of 103mm. This working distance is ideal for a variety of tasks, offering enough space to manipulate samples or tools without disturbing the focus. The generous working distance is particularly beneficial in applications such as electronics assembly or repair, where additional tools may be used in conjunction with the microscope. The built-in objective's precision and clarity ensure accurate and detailed observations, even at lower magnifications.
6. Robust and Compatible Design for Versatile Use: The microscope body is designed with a body mounting size of 76mm in diameter, making it compatible with a wide range of stands and accessories. This standard size allows for easy integration into existing setups, providing users with the flexibility to customize their workstations according to their specific needs. The durable construction of the ESD-125 ensures reliable performance and longevity, even in demanding environments. The robust design can withstand regular use in professional settings, making it a valuable addition to any laboratory or inspection facility.
