Benefits & Features

Best-in-Class Zoom Ratio

With a best-in-class zoom ratio of 12.7x (0.63x-8x), the SMZ1270i covers an even greater magnification range than previous models.

High-Quality Images

Incredibly clear and bright images with reduced chromatic aberrations can be acquired throughout the extended zoom range through the newly developed "Plan Apo WF" and "ED Plan WF" objectives.

New Objectives Optimized for Widefield Observation at Low Magnification

In combination with the newly developed WF series objectives, the SMZ1270i offers a wide and uniformly bright viewfield even at low magnifications. Additionally, a 0.75x objective is now available, expanding the lineup of low magnification objectives.

Versatile Double Eyepiece 

The double eyepiece allows for seamless observation in a wide range of magnifications. Moreover, changing objectives has never been easier.

Advanced Digital Imaging Capabilities

In combination with the DS-L3 Camera Control Unit, NIS-Elements imaging software, and P-RN2 Intelligent Nosepiece, image acquisition is now more efficient, with the objective magnification and zoom ratio information displayed on the monitor.

Expandable with a Wide Range of Accessories

To support various observation methods and applications used for research and inspection, an assortment of accessories, such as illumination units, stands, and eyepiece tubes, are available. By incorporating a "Fly Eye Lens" with the Epi-Fluorescence illuminator, uniform brightness over the entire field of view is realized, aiding in observing specimens that need a wide magnification range. Nikon also offers several digital cameras ideally suited for different stereo microscope applications.

Diascopic illumination stands have been renewed. The slim LED base design provides easy access to the specimen and easy operation. As with the SMZ25 and SMZ18, the diascopic illumination base features Nikon’s very own oblique illumination, the OCC illuminator. The built-in feature offers high contrast observation for transparent samples such as oocytes used in the IVF application.
