Nikon SMZ-1B Microscope questions

[Gbayit@gmail.com]

Hi All,

I am new to repairing, I bought a used Nikon SMZ-1b with a boom stand, it has 10x/21 eyepieces, now while it works well the issue I'm finding is the working area is about 100mm,


Is this correct?

do I need a lens that screws on the bottom?

or do I need new eyepieces?

any advice will be greatly appreciated.
thank you

Re: Nikon SMZ-1B Microscope questions

When you say working area do you mean the distance between the bottom of the microscope and work piece ?
Switching to 5x eyepieces should increase this distance a little and reduce the zoom, whilst adding a Barlow Lens will increase the working distance more.

Hi , thank you for the reply, yes spot on. Distance between workspace and the bottom of the microscope.
