ZM-4T stereo microscope
Details
The ZM-4T stereo zoom microscope provides precise and clear images. A stereo microscope provides an in-depth image, making it possible to solder SMD components for example. Furthermore, the eyepieces of this microscope are focusable and stay focused over the entire zoom range.
Brightness
This ZM-4T provides a very bright image. Because of the prism for the camera in one of the ports, a slight difference in light intensity can be observed between the two eyepieces. With the popular SM-4TP, this phenomenon does not occur, but the image as a whole is just slightly darker. When using an LED ring, the difference is less.
Trinocular and simul-focal
The ZM-4T is trinocular, which means that there is a third port available to connect a camera with the help of the C-mount adapter. The ZM-4T is simul-focal, so the camera can be used simultaneously with the two eyepieces.
7x to 45x magnification
The ZM-4T stereo microscope offers a magnification from 7x to 45x at a working height of 10-11 cm (without LED-ring). A barlow lens such as the barlow lens 0.5x can be added to increase the effective working height up to 20 cm (lowest zoom) or 17 cm (highest zoom). Worst case, with the barlow lens and 60-LED ring, the working distance will be 15 cm at maximum zoom.
Double arm
The microscope has a solid base with a sound, dual arm that can be positioned freely. You can install it quickly on top of, for example, a PCB or the phone you want to repair. The dual arm can easily be pulled towards you and pushed away, as opposed to a single arm.

Model overview
M series microscopes are characterised by their solid manufacturing quality, clear vision and high ease of use. The table below shows the differences between the microscopes.| Model | Arm | Simul-focal | Included extra accessories | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SM-3T | Single | No | None | |
| SM-3TP | Single | Yes | None | |
| SM-4T | Dual | No | None | |
| SM-4TP | Dual | Yes | - Premium rubber eyepieces | |
| SM-4TP Black Edition | Dual | Yes | - Premium rubber eyepieces - 144 LED ring lighting - Barlow lens 0.5x | |
| ZM-4T | Dual | Yes | None | |
| SM-8TP | Swivel | Yes | - Premium rubber eyepieces |
Specifications
| Dioptre correction | +/- 5dp |
| Pupil space | Adjustable (54-75 mm) |
| Shipping weight | ~ 25kg |
| SKU | SZ6745XT-STL2 |
Optional accessories
| 144 LED-ring | This LED ring is mounted using 3 thumb screws. Although it fits directly to the ZM-4T, it is not very stable, so we recommend mounting it to a barlow lens, or use the LED-ring below instead. | |
| C-mount adapter 0.35x | A 0.35x C-mount adapter enables you to connect a camera to the microscope. | |
| 2K camera | A camera with HDMI output and storage capabilities with 2K resolution. If one would need a camera with a higher resolution, we would recommend the 4K camera. | |
| Premium rubber eyepieces | Rubber eyepieces provide more comfort and reduce the incidence of light. |
