Optics
The Omano OM99 is the top of the range of Omano zoom stereo microscope that compares favorably with its Olympus cousin. Featuring 6.5x-45x parfocal magnification, it is built round six prisms and, in our opinion, is the best quality stereo microscope out of China. The two Super Wide Field SWF10X eyepieces make for a terrific viewing experience with rubber eyecups included. Trinocular version is optionally available with click-stop detents for precise, repetitive observations.
Dual diopters are integrated into the eye tubes for individual eye adjustment. and interpupillary adjustment range is 55mm-75mm. Working distance is 31/4" and more than doubles to over 6" with the addition of a0.5x auxiliary barlow lens. Optional barlow lenses include 0.3x, 0.4x, 0.5x, 0.75x, 1.0x and 2.0x. Available in binocular or trinocular format with a 23mm smooth camera tube included with the trinocular version. NOTE: When the photo-prism lever is engaged in the OM99-Trincular, 100% of the light from the left optical path is directed to the camera port. The image can still be viewed through the right eyepiece.
Focus & illumination
Rack and pinion focus includes dual right and left hand controls for convenience. An 80 LED ring light for shadow free illumination is included in the price and can be upgraded to stronger LED or other light when adding the microscope to your shopping cart.
Stand
The V7 articulating boom base weighs 57lbs yet folds into a 13 x 13" space when not in use. Well-balanced and stable with smooth, controlled movement, the arm's first link can be removed to achieve even greater stability. The pole stands 21" high and the spring-powered articulating arm has an effective horizontal extension of 35". A 76mm focus block is included.
As with most Omano boom stands, a hanging bar is included that enables angled viewing positions. The hanging bar bracket is spring-loaded so that the lever can be moved out of the way without having to release the pre-set position of the microscope head. Also available with a U-clamp for attachment to a bench top. The clamp fits benches up to 2.5" thick.
