Summary
The Meiji EMZ5-V15 is a combination of Meiji's best-selling EMZ-5 zoom stereo microscope body and the premium Omano V15 boom stand. It is the most popular Meiji industrial inspection microscope system. Available in binocular or trinocular with choice of eyepieces. Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Microscope Head
The EMZ-5 stereo head is by far the most popular Meiji stereo microscope head. It is their workhorse industrial and educational head offering good quality, an affordable price and zero defects. The parfocal zoom range is 7x-45x with dual-sided zoom controls and provides a field of view of 32mm-5.1mm. The working distance is 93mm. The head is inclined 45° and includes interpupillary adjustment of 54mm-75mm. There are dual +/-5 diopters for convenient individual eye focusing. The head rotates through 360° for flexible viewing positions.
Available in binocular or trinocular format and also with click-stop detents for precise levels of magnification. The trinocular port directs light to the right eyetube and the trinocular tube simultaneously. Please note that a trinocular adapter is required to fit your camera.
Stand
Solid steel, 21.5" tall, a horizontal span of 28" and 48 lbs - yet surprisingly graceful in its movements, the V15 is our premium Omano dual-arm boom stand. Customers love it! A ball-bearing slide enables fingertip positioning control while a raft of thoughtful features help earn its well-deserved reputation. A hanging bar offers versatile viewing positions, a safety collar locks the boom in place on the pole, and a rubber backstop protects the cross bar.
In addition, a neat spring-loaded hanging bar bracket lever can be re-positioned without losing tension on the microscope head. They all add up to a product that feels right and works very well.
Also available with a U-clamp for attachment to a bench top. The clamp fits benches up to 2.5" thick.
Optional Illumination
For convenience we offer a variety of ring lights and auxiliary barlow lenses with this microscope. Please call for alternative illumination solutions.

Stereo Microscope Digital Camera
The OptixCam Summit K2 series digital microscope camera turns your optical microscope into a fully-functional digital microscope. Plug it into your computer’s USB port and it automatically powers up. Your workflow becomes more user-friendly, more ergonomic, and perfect for collaboration.
This digital microscope camera lets you sit back and study samples on screen, without hunching over the eyepiece. In routine life science applications, you capture remarkably clean images that are ideal for cataloging and recording for posterity. It allows you to save and document images in industrial or medical reports, with easy annotation right from the included software. It transforms biology classes into launchpads for exploration by enabling students to see and share easily.
A dynamic range of 1.3 to 14 megapixels for big deals and small details.
The details matter to us just as much as they matter to you. That’s why we carry a range of versatile stereo microscope cameras with multiple resolution options, making an SK2 digital camera easy on the eyes and easy on your budget (if that’s what you need) too.
Summit K2 cameras range from:
• Low (1.3) megapixels, suitable for hobbyists, classrooms, and other applications where affordability, durability, and good resolution are most important.
• Medium (3.1) megapixels, suitable for biological research and industrial applications that require an excellent mix of visibility and affordability.
• Mid (5.0) megapixels, suitable for industrial inspectors and life science researchers who have departmental budget constraints, but need sharp images and easy functionality.
• High (10) megapixels, suitable for healthcare professionals and researchers with a greater budget who require high resolution image projection in large-format applications.
• Advanced (14) megapixels, suitable for complex microbiological applications where performance and image quality are all that matters.
Built around the superior Aptina MT9T001 CMOS color sensor.
Rigged with high-resolution Aptina MT9T001 CMOS color sensors, Summit K2 digital microscope cameras deliver vivid and vibrant images, even in low-light environments, and allow you to manipulate images while maintaining true-to-life colors and textures.
Compatible with PC and MAC.
Connect and power up easily through USB 2.0, no external power required, and dig into your work with the included K2View software (PC only). It’s built to make your workflow easier, with features like:
• Geometric measuring using lines, circles, and angles that are scaled to your magnification level in real time.
• Notation, so all the important info you need to package with your images is right where it needs to be.
• Anti-flicker, so images look sharp under a variety of ambient lighting.
• Time-lapse photography so you can easily batch images together, tracking changes as you go.
• Auto/manual exposure, making it easy to get the image you need.
• White balance control, so the images you capture look the way they should.
• Storage in JPG, BMP, TIFF, TGA, and RAW format, so images can be used across a range of platforms.
The cameras also work just fine with your existing TWAIN, DirectX, and Image Capture (MAC only - OSX 10.7+) software. You can also download K2View from our site.
Excellent image reproduction with 0.5x Reducing Lens.
No fuss, just focus. Many competitively priced digital microscope cameras magnify the image through the eyepiece, so the image you see on your monitor doesn’t accurately represent what you see looking down the scope with your own eyes. That’s not good enough for you. We counter that by including a 0.5x reducing lens. This prevents over-magnification and produces real images that don't suffer from the same zoom distortion. You can trust what you see.
Summit K2 series digital microscope cameras already work in applications spanning industries. They can be retrofitted onto most existing optical microscope models, and come standard on Omano digital microscopes.
They add some swagger to your passion for microscopy and make sharing a lot easier. You don’t have to go on your microscopy adventures alone anymore.
Compatibility:
• Includes 23mm C-mount adapter (additional adapters can be purchased to fit future microscopes)
• Optional calibration slide for accurate measurements
Modern Technology:
• Built with a sturdy aluminum alloy body
• Fast refresh rates (30-50 frames per second) during video recording
• Full-screen live imaging to maximize your visual experience
What’s in the box?
• Summit SK2 Digital Microscope Camera
• OptixCam K2View software installation CD
• USB 2.0 cable
• 0.5x 23mm adapter for C-mount
And, of course, our conversation doesn’t end with your purchase. We aim to make good science accessible. That’s why we offer free telephone support long after your microscope camera is out of its box.
