Comfort at work: the key to consistent,
accurate results
User comfort has always been an Olympus priority. Even so, the standards set by the new SZ61 and SZ51 are
a revelation. The smoothly contoured finish, the newly designed "ComfortView" eyepiece, and the
accessible, responsive controls make operation easier and less fatiguing than ever before.
The compact design owes much to the incorporation of the Greenough optical system, which delivers
excellent flatness and ample depth of field as well as clarity, detail, accurate color and the least possible
distortion. Dependable, high-performance optics are central to the achievement of consistent, accurate
results in today's widening range of biological microscopy applications - as are ergonomic features which
make even long-duration tasks easier and less demanding to perform.
Welcome to the comfort zone.
Optical Performance
High-performance optics in a compact, comfortable design
Incorporating new improvements to the highly-regarded Greenough optical system, the SZ61 and
SZ51 successfully meet the demand for a variety of observation and documentation options in a
genuinely compact microscope design. Clear, sharp image reproduction is matched by new
ergonomic design elements which maximize comfort and ease of use.
The SZ61 and SZ51 microscope bodies are manufactured using newly developed lead-free optics,
demonstrating Olympus commitment to protect the environment.
6.7:1 - High zoom ratio
The SZ61's class-leading magnification range extends from
6.7x through 45x (using 10x eyepieces), with a zoom ratio of
6.7:1. This derives from a newly developed optical system and
allows quick, comfortable observations at the most appropriate
magnification. The SZ51 provides a magnification range from 8x
through 40x (using 10x eyepieces), with a zoom ratio of 5:1.
Outstanding depth of field and flatness
The 10-degree angle of convergence in the Greenough optical
system secures excellent image flatness with large depth of
field.
High fidelity color reproduction
The careful selection of lens surface coatings and glass
materials in the entire optical system makes it possible to
observe and document specimen in their original, authentic
colors.
Sharp, clear, high-contrast images
High contrast images and field flatness ensure accurate
reproduction and documentation of original specimen shapes.
"ComfortView" eyepieces for greater comfort and
faster work
Quick, comfortable observation and documentation are ensured
by this completely new eyepiece design featuring Pupil
Aberration Control and Appropriate Positioning in the eye point.
The result is a field of view that is easy to find, comfortable to
view, and easy to keep
The Greenough optical system has two zoom optical paths inclined at a 10° angle.
This enables a compact microscope design with high performance.
