The Motic 1100200500133 SMZ-168-BP Binocular Stereo Zoom Microscope has a pair of 10x widefield high-eyepoint eyepieces, a 0.75x to 5x zoom objective for 7.5x to 50x continuous magnification, Greenough optical system, ambient illumination, coaxial focus, and a fixed stage with clips. The binocular head has fixed inclination to reduce eye and neck strain, and 360-degree rotation capability to provide a more comprehensive view and enable sharing. High-eyepoint eyepieces ease viewing for viewers wearing glasses. Dioptric adjustment accommodates individual eye-strength differences. The zoom objective provides low magnification and a longer focal length for inspecting large-scale specimens, or specimens that require hands-on manipulation or repair, including rocks, minerals, watches, or circuit boards. Click stops at five magnification positions ensure accurate positioning for repeatable results. The Greenough optical system provides precision image creation, and is parfocal to ensure that the image stays focused when the magnification is changed. A stereo zoom microscope is used for inspection and dissection of specimens when three-dimensional images are desired, and provides zoom, sometimes called pancratic, magnification that allows the user to zoom in on the specimen within a continuous magnification range.
The microscope uses available ambient light for observing specimens. The fixed stage has stage clips to secure the slide or specimen in place while viewing, and is oversized to accommodate larger specimens. Coaxial focus eases focusing for left- and right-handed viewers.

Microscopes are instruments used to enhance the resolution of an object or image. Types include compound, stereo, or digital. Compound microscopes use a compound optical system with an objective lens and an eyepiece. Stereo microscopes show object depth in a three-dimensional image. Digital microscopes are used to display an image on a monitor, rather than looking through a lens. Microscopes can have monocular (one), binocular (two), or trinocular (three) eyepieces, with varying magnification abilities. Magnification ability refers to the size of an image. Resolution, also known as resolvant power, refers to the clarity of the image. The interaction between field of view (FOV), numerical aperture (NA), and working distance (WD) determines resolution. Microscopes can control magnification through a fixed focus, or through a range of adjustments. They can also utilize LED, fluorescent, and mirror light sources to help control viewing capabilities. Microscopes are widely used in education, lab research, biology, metallurgy, engineering, chemistry, manufacturing, and in the medical, forensic science, and veterinary industries.
Motic manufactures microscopes, microscope cameras, digital imaging products, and application software. The company, founded in 1988 and headquartered in Xiamen, China, is a subsidiary of Hong Kong-based Speed Fair Co. Ltd. and meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards 9001 and 14000.
