Galilean Optical System
The Galilean optical system (0.8x–5.6x zoom range) combines with the improved coatings and large numerical aperture in our distortion-free objective lens series to provide an optimal image for your sample at any appropriate magnification.
Lineup of Objective Lenses
Choose from Eight Interchangeable Objectives
DFPL2X / DPFL1.5X / DFPL0.75X / DFPL0.5X
The DFPL series accurately reproduces sample shapes with outstanding color fidelity.
DFPLAPO1.25X / DFPLAPO1X-4
Apochromatically corrected to achieve a high degree of performance. Excellent resolving power, contrast, and image flatness with minimal distortion.
SZX-ACH1.25X / SZX-ACH1X
Well-balanced objectives that combine high resolving power with a long working distance.
Versatile Illumination Solutions
LED Illumination: Combined Reflected and Transmitted Light Stand
Ultra-thin LED stands are energy efficient and provide long-lasting illumination.

Ergonomics
Work Comfortably and Productively
Ergonomic Instruments Enable Natural Posture, Reduced Stress, and Increased Productivity
The ergonomic long tilting trinocular provides an optimized work position by bringing the microscope closer to the user, while the extendable eyepoint adjuster provides flexibility for users of different heights. The SZX2 series’ ergonomic instruments reduce stress during observation by providing the most comfortable position for each user, increasing work efficiency.
Ergonomic Design Based on 3D CAD Analysis
The microscope body and stand feature precisely curved contours developed through careful 3D computer aided design (CAD) analysis. Key ergonomic features help reduce fatigue during periods of long observation and feel smooth and comfortable to the touch.
Convenient Front-Access Operation
The most frequently used knobs and switches are easily accessible to maximize operator comfort and reduce back strain.
Precise Recall of Specific Magnification Settings
Many inspection tasks require using the same zoom magnification setting to ensure consistent and comparable results. The integrated click-stop mechanism provides quick and easy access to this important function. The zoom knob stopper enables the user to accurately choose their desired magnification, and the setting in use is clearly displayed on the front control panel.
Eyepieces That Reduce Fatigue and Exclude Dust
The eyepieces feature a pupillary aberration control mechanism, keeping the image visible even if the operator’s eyes move. This lessens operator fatigue during long observations. The unique eyepiece mounting design excludes dust particles and keeps the eyepiece firmly in place, enabling clear images and an ergonomic eyepiece position.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Safe Design
All microscope bodies and accessories are ESD-safe and can discharge static electricity from 1000 V down to 100 V in less than 0.2 seconds, helping to protect the equipment and prevent sample damage.
Digital Imaging and Documentation
Universal Stand and Digital Imaging
Combination of SZ2-ST
Curved ultra-slim stand with contoured base plates provides easy sample access while reducing stress and strain on your hands and arms.
For inspecting or assembling large samples, Evident offers a variety of adjustable and ESD safe boom stands. Large platform stands are also available and, if required, can accommodate 400 mm and 600 mm auxiliary posts.
SZ2-STU2: The arm's angle and length can freely be adjusted.
SZ2-STU3: The stand is clamped on the side of a desk for assembly and inspection lines.

All-in-Focus Imaging Made Simple
Reconstructing an all-in-focus image is simple in our software. Manually acquire images from the Live EFI (extended focus imaging) function to obtain fully focused views of thick, rough, or uneven samples.
- cellSens™ software: Capture sharp images of thick biological specimens, such as insects, plants, or tissue samples.
- PRECiV™ software: Acquire sharp images of wire bonding, electronic part defects, and large parts with rough surfaces.
Flexible Workflows from QC Inspection to Failure Analysis
PRECiV software offers a flexible workflow solution for QC inspection, materials analysis, and failure analysis. Pair it with the SZX7 and a digital camera to seamlessly acquire images, process them, and make 2D measurements. Advanced imaging and analysis functions include panoramic views, extended focus images, and particle analysis.
Zoom into Efficiency
To speed up QC inspection or failure analysis work, combine the SZX7 with our SZX2-ZMS zoom magnification sensor. It automatically records the zoom magnification in your PRECiV software, enabling the correct 2D geometric measurements without the need to manually enter the magnification. From imaging to reporting, all dimensions are under control. Now you can zoom in and measure the details faster, adding confidence and efficiency to your inspections.
