Optical Unit Containing the camera, coaxial reflected light, 10× optical-motorized zoom, and overview camera.

Objectives Connected to the optical unit via a bayonet mount. They contain switchable ring light and storage module in which the exact magnification is saved.

Stage Powered by a stepper motor with integrated controller which makes it possible to move in a reproducible manner to relevant areas of the sample.

Stand Powered by a motorized z-drive for focusing and a swing arm to adjust the viewing angle in relation to the surface of the sample. In addition, the stand contains a second
motorized drive to correctly adjust the pivot point in relation to the sample height.

Controller Comprising a dual rotary wheel for controlling zoom, focus, and stage movement; a touch pad for gesture controlling hardware and software; touch display for operating
software features; and detachable wireless keyboard.

All-in-One PC Containing the Smartzoom 5 application software and connected to the controller via USB 2 and to the stand via USB 3 or WiFi.
