Nikon Stereomicroscope SMZ445-460

Compact stereomicroscopes with premium performance

The SMZ445 and SMZ460 deliver the outstanding optical performance you expect from Nikon’s cutting-edge series of stereoscopic zoom microscopes. Porro prisms enable a lightweight, compact design. Choose between the two models: the SMZ445 with 0.8x – 3.5x zoom magnification or the SMZ460 with 0.7x – 3.0x zoom magnification, inclination angles of 45° or 60° respectively. With the new diascopic/episcopic LED Stand, these microscopes let you observe a wide range of specimens, from Petri dishes to plants, insects, small animals and minerals.

Auxiliary objectives

Simply attaching an auxiliary objective lens achieves a wider field of view and longer working distance. Two type are available, 0.5x (WD 181mm) and 0.7x (WD 127.5mm).

Mold-resistant finish

The inside of the zooming body is treated with a mold-resistant finish. This maintains the quality of the lenses even in hot, humid environments.

LED Stand with All-In-One Design

The newly developed LED Stand features built-in diascopic and episcopic illumination. The light intensity of each illumination can be adjusted individually, and both can be used simultaneously. The light source uses very bright LEDs. Since they have a very long life, they avoid the cost and trouble of frequent replacement. And while the base is compact and thin, it is designed to be robust for all uses.

Long working distances

The long working distance of 100mm allows safe focusing even with specimens having markedly uneven surfaces. This is useful when using tweezers, dissection tools or a pipette during specimen manipulation.
