The CRESTA ZS-50 Research Microscope is a versatile laboratory microscope designed for educational and routine research applications. It features Plan Achromatic anti-fungal-treated objectives, a 45° inclined 360° rotatable viewing head, precision coaxial focusing, a ball-bearing mechanical X-Y stage, NA 1.25 Abbe condenser and adjustable LED illumination with battery-backup facility.

Product Overview

The CRESTA ZS-50 is part of the Cresta series of research microscopes and is designed for educational laboratories, routine research and applications requiring controlled specimen observation and documentation.

Its single-mould rigid structure incorporates a window in the arm for convenient carriage. The viewing head is available in monocular, binocular and trinocular configurations and features a sliding-type 45° inclined head with 360° rotation.

The microscope uses a quadruple ball-bearing nosepiece with positive click stops for controlled objective positioning. Coaxial coarse and fine focusing provides precise focus adjustment, with the fine-focus mechanism graduated to 1 division = 0.002 mm.

A ball-bearing-driven mechanical stage enables controlled X-Y movement of slides, while the movable Abbe condenser with NA 1.25, iris diaphragm and swing-out filter holder provides illumination control.

The optical combination consists of WF 10X/18 mm eyepieces and 4X, 10X, 40X S/L and 100X S/L Plan Achromatic anti-fungal-treated objectives, providing 40X–1000X total magnification.

Built-in LED illumination with intensity control and a battery-backup facility provides flexibility for laboratory use and extended observation sessions.
