A new concept of combing the inconstancy of a stereo microscope with the resolution of a compound microscope has been launched by Nikon Instruments. The new device is called the AZ100 Multizoom Microscope, and it offers the wide field of view and long working distance, which usually is one of the characteristics of the advanced research microscope. And more than that, moving from micro to macro and vise versa is very easy, it's done by switching of the magnifications. In biomedical field, the AZ100 Multizoom microscope supports applications for both mid-magnification and stereo microscopes, and is particularly well suited for cellular research and much more. This groundbreaking innovation has an 8:1 zoom ratio, which appears to be the largest for any such device in the world. The AZ100 Multizoom can also work with darkfield, episcopic and diascopic techniques. Images can be captured through the simple addition of a Nikon digital camera system. The AZ100 Multizoom is also able to create images of the same size for objects at any distance and have a constant angle of view across the entire field of view. The AZ100 Multizoom is ideal when it is necessary to determine the precise size of objects independently from their position within the field of view.
