The Am SE306R-PZ-P digital stereo micro has
interchangeable pairs of 10x18mm and 20x10mm widefield eyepieces,
2x and 4x objectives, upper and lower halogen lighting, two stage
plates, and a pillar stand. The 0.3MP camera has a CMOS color
sensor, a reduction lens, image capture and editing software, and
USB 2.0 output to capture or display still or video images on a
computer or projector. The forward-ed binocular viewing head
has an interpupillary range of 55 to 75mm and a 45-degree
inclination to ease viewing for young users. The WF10x18mm and
WF20x10mm eyepieces combine with the 2x and 4x objectives to
provide 20x, 40x, and 80x magnification, and a longer working
distance for inspecting large-scale specimens that require
handling or repair. The optical glass lenses provide sharp
images, and are fully coated to ensure high-resolution images.
Dioptric adjustment accommodates individual eye-strength
differences, and eye guards ensure comfortable viewing. A digital
stereo micro, sometimes called an inspection or dissection
micro, has low magnification and a long working distance
that enables users to manipulate the object being inspected, and
is used where image capture, detailed records, or documentation
is required.
The 0.3MP digital camera has a CMOS color sensor for displaying
still microscopy images and streaming live videos to a computer
or projector. The camera has 40x magnification and a 0.37x
reduction lens that ensures that the display has a similar field
of view as the micro eyepiece. The camera can be ed in
a C- or any 23mm eye tube. The camera includes image capture
and editing software that provides still image and live video
capture and editing capability, including measurement functions.
The software supports JPG, TIF, GIF, PSD, WMF, and BMP file
formats and is compatible with Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10 and Mac OS
X. Camera drivers are compatible with Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10 and
Mac OS X. The software includes Windows APIs for native C/C++,
C#, DirectShow, Twain, and LabVIEW that enable custom application
development. The camera has a USB 2.0 data port (cable included).
The micro has upper (episcopic) illumination that reflects
light off the specimen for enhanced visibility of opaque
specimens, and lower (diascopic) illumination that transmits
light up through the specimen for enhanced visibility of
translucent and transparent objects. The 10W halogen light source
provides bright light in a concentrated path. The pillar-style
stand secures the head for precise focusing, and bilateral coarse
focus eases use for left- and right-handed users. The stage has a
frosted stage plate for use with lower (transmitted) lighting,
and a reversible black and white stage plate that provides
contrast with light- and dark-colored specimens when used with
upper (reflected) lighting. Stage clips that secure the specimen
during viewing. The micro has a 2-1/8" (53mm) working
distance. All metal construction is durable and stain-resistant.

Micros are instruments used to enhance the resolution of an
object or image. Types include compound, stereo, or digital.
Compound micros use a compound optical system with an
objective lens and an eyepiece. Stereo micros show object
depth in a three-dimensional image. Digital micros are used
to display an image on a monitor, rather than looking through a
lens. Micros can have monocular (one), binocular (two), or
trinocular (three) eyepieces, with varying magnification
abilities. Magnification ability refers to the size of an image.
Resolution, also known as resolvant power, refers to the clarity
of the image. The interaction between field of view (FOV),
numerical aperture (NA), and working distance (WD) determines
resolution. Micros can control magnification through a fixed
focus, or through a range of adjustments. They can also utilize
LED, fluorescent, and mirror light sources to help control
viewing capabilities. Micros are widely used in education,
lab research, biology, metallurgy, engineering, chemistry,
manufacturing, and in the medical, forensic science, and
veterinary industries.
United manufactures microscopy equipment and accessories
under the brand name Am. The company, founded in 1996, is
