This item is a System 273 binocular stereo microscope with an articulating arm and without a light source. A 1.0x objective is included, however, other magnifications are available as optional items.

The articulating arm extends 34", has a 12" vertical range of motion and a maximum clearance of 16" above the benchtop surface. Its C-clamp opens 4" wide for easy attachment to work bench or table.

System 273 series

The System 273 features ergonomic controls, as well as long working distances, specifically designed for inspectors, and assembly/rework technicians.

It features a zoom magnification of 0.7x to 4.5x, with a 1x objective, and 10x eyepieces, standard for all models. This provides a magnification of 7x to 45x, with a working distance of 118mm. Working distance refers to the amount of space between the item being viewed and the microscope’s objective - the larger this number, the more space technicians have to operate. This is especially important in electronics manufacturing, so that workers have ample room for their hands, as well as any tools being used.

To maximize versatility, LX Microscopes by UNITRON also offers a variety of optional eyepieces and objectives, which greatly expand the capability of the System 273. For example, when 10x eyepieces are paired with a 0.5x objective, the working distance is increased to nearly eight inches.

It also features click-stops on the zoom knob at 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 ensure repeatable magnification changes
